Reader. Writer. Mom. Sometime pirate. Sometime swamp hag.

My auto-generated playlist making me laugh. Sure, I probably always do need to listen to Futuro, but one of these things is not like the others...

Thought I was gonna read the OG Robert W. Chambers before getting to my library books. But sneak-attacked by good old 19th century American racism on the 3rd page. Not a pov I want to exist in right now, so King in Yellow goes back on the shelf.

Piper & Moreno-Garcia won't do me dirty like that.

Post your favourite X-Men character

I read X-Men. But I loved Excalibur. And she was the nerdy teenage girl superhero rep I needed.

Should have held off listening to this episode of @talkscaredpod.bsky.social for a few more weeks. I'd feel better if I didn't know how much I wanted to read Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.

I just missed a few birthdays. But here's one of my favorite pages in my current bullet journal.

I think I'm on a semi-accidental trend to watch every Frankenstein movie ever made before the del Toro's version comes out. The Algorithm just showed me a Toei Animation version which you can watch on youtube.

Independent bookstore day! My adjacent celebration is waiting in a two block long line for the biannual friends of the library book sale.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is now your therapist.

Well shit. He won't make me better, but he can definitely make me worse.

Robins. So round that the camphor tree looks like citrus.

I'm supposed to be reading what's on my shelf instead of buying books, but Carmilla's for my mom and Clive Barker is Clive Barker.

He's my gorgeous Pilot of unknown provenance that I got for a stall on eBay.

Found a "new" tarot deck in my favorite junk store this morning. It was pristine except for the 8 of Pentacles.

Annie is the name of one of the MCs in this novella I'm working on.

I'm not a witch. But these things happen sometimes.

My reward for finishing this draft is gonna be a fancy new notebook, but I can't decide between the one which matches my current nautical themed journaling setup or the lush one I wouldn't be able to stop drooling on.

Question 3: Share a moodboard or some images that give us the vibes of your WIP!

I haven't done a mood board yet, but The Unicorn in Captivity is one of the very foundations of the novella I'm working on (and it's working title!)
