"See here, o ye wistful, see here! The sweat of God, bottled. Collected from His pits."

Ahhh! So thrilled we get to feature this @notveryalice.bsky.social piece this week, a moment of biblical adoration. I'm such a fan of weird religious stuff and the olfactory in fiction. Don't miss it!

We’re having weird warm windy winter weather today. I made this wind cloud in the spring, when we had what felt like endless weeks of wind.

put a chip (or several) on your sandwich for a fun extra crunch. Try going crust-to-crust for an extreme challenge. I like to use LAY'S CLASSIC or sometimes DORITOS.
