As a neurospicy gal (living with a neurospicy guy) with my South Node & 5th house in Cancer, & its ruler in my 6th, my home & garden, the way they look, smell, feel, & affect everything, isn't just aesthetics. It's intrinsic to my joy, & magic. It's part of how I wor(k)ship what I love.

I'm so sick of hearing (for over a decade) from politicians about how BAD he is, & how BAD his administrations & all of this is. STOP USING THIS SHIT AS A SHILL FOR YOUR OWN RE-ELECTIONS AT OUR EXPENSE! Tell us what you're DOING about it or STFU.

If you enjoy the scent of spirits but also love the smell of a good coffee house & want to up your simmer pot game, do yourself a favor & try some Jim Beam Bourbon Vanilla coffee in your next simmer pot. Also, I picked this warmer up thrifting to save electricity.

If we took care of our citizens, Trump would be in a state-run nursing home pretending to be President.
And we would have free healthcare.

Germany / Poland, Russia / Ukraine, Israel / Palestine, & now United States / Venezuela. We are the bad place. These ass clowns have been trying to provoke Iran & the BRICS alliance for years now, & last night managed to do it while flying both middle fingers right in the face of congress.

A Relative in my Bio Father's Family: Oh! I'm surprised you meet the criteria for autism.
Me: Babes, your Dad & uncles are engineers, & you're a middle school science teacher who's made unpaid, volunteer, investigative work on unsolved murders, a ✨hobby.✨ I'm genuinely shocked you don't!

Any other neurodivergents have a morbid fascination with the biology & science of gruesome things, medieval torture, murder, mortuaries, taxidermy, ect ... but find that you're so hyper empathic & sensory sensitive, that it's also bad for your mental health to think about too long?

I started working on this last year (I'm a complete cross stitch novice) but set it aside when gardening season consumed me. I'm back at it this week. But, if you value your sanity never, ever, try to cross stitch black on black! 😁

Maybe it's all my sun catchers, or living in the same place so long, but even at the height of summer, & dead of winter, it only takes a few days after the solstice before I notice a change in the angle of the light, the way it hits our walls, & the garden, the sun is waxing once more.

Alphonse Mucha has always been one of our daughter's favorite artists, & back in November we scored these tapestries of The Seasons (1900 variation, made in Germany) at the flea market, dirt cheap, & gifted them to her for yule.

Ronan knows when I say kitty, as in "Look at the kitty," it means there's a kitty outside, so he looks out the windows. But I noticed recently, if I call him a kitty, in any capacity, he also excitedly looks out the window, bc he doesn't know, he too, is a kitty.

Used the last late harvest of carrots ✨Danvers 126✨ to make soup. The garden is now empty & winter is officially here. Let the planning for spring begin! 😁 (I promise, they're clean! Just a little discolored from being in the ground so long.)
