Of all the temples in Kyōto, Jōjakkō-ji's (常寂光寺) seasonal transformations are some of the most beautiful.

Goodnight from Morton Parish Council, where the vote to ban making promotional images of the village’s infamous Wyrm has ended in rancour and harsh curses. Goodnight from Tabitha Mantel, sure she can hear Faery clocks chiming the ninth of the hour. Goodnight from Hookland.

Update: I only have two nights left and can’t afford to book more. I also have to leave this place on the 26th and stay somewhere else that night and come back the next day. Cheapest rates here and elsewhere are $50-60 a night before tax.

I’m a disabled homeless trans woman living in a motel in the short term. If anyone can help me out with funds to extend my stay and cover necessities, I would be immensely grateful. My links are in my bio. 💕💸💸💕

Men will log on and say they are physically superior to all women and that if they could find a way to harm us they would, but blame trans people for that. It's simply acceptable misogyny and it's not even particularly clever or well hidden.

Firstly: this is a great thread
Secondly: I absolutely love a cool rock! I have a whole collection
Secondly: I absolutely love a cool rock! I have a whole collection
One of the tragedies of growing up is it's apparently no longer "socially acceptable" to carry around a cool rock & show it to people you meet.
So I have to respect the Chinese, Korean & Japanese for having a tradition of finding cool rocks & displaying them.
Let's talk about scholar's stones.

This has brought up a question I actually don't know - when did the specific form "the fae" become so popular in English?
OED has "Faerie" going back to Spenser, "fey" as "fairylike" in 1823, and there's obviously "Morgan le Fay" from French, but can't find much for "the fae" til quite recently!
