Letterpress printing a perzine since 1996 means that I’ve been publishing my life longer than I haven’t been. Also I like cats and vegan baking. I’m a huge LotR nerd and practice HEMA.

Speaking of "Lord of the Rings cover bands" which is trending...

I've always wanted to start a Smiths cover band called The Smiths of Eregion. This Charming Man becomes about Annatar.

The teen had wanted to have a tree for the winter holiday for awhile, and while I don’t necessarily need a tree I have a LOT of ornaments from my childhood. So my beloved found this tree on a curb earlier this year and now here it is with the softest ornaments in case the cat wants to dance with it.

Braved public transit to Pleasanton to meet up with some Bay Area Carrock Smial folks at the Inklings cafe. A bit of a trek, but worth it for Tolkien or Lewis fans to check out. @thecarrocksmial.bsky.social

File this under: Looked So Easy on the Baking Show! Slice and Bake cookies. Vegan. Supposed to be ghosts, but at least the cookies taste good.
