I've been picking up a lot of #Politics forward followers of late. I might disappoint you all as the majority of my posts focus on #MiniaturePainting, #TTRPGs, & #DailyLife with #AuDHD. There's a few political hot takes scattered amidst it all, but it's not the main focus. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

It occurred to me about halfway through rattle can priming these guys... Why the hell am I bothering to put them on a cardboard box to "protect the table" when it's already covered in over spray and glue stains? I'm an idiot. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I came home from a lovely morning to great #WitchyShit in the mail. A friend sent me some eggshells that I ground up. Also got a great Thriftbooks find and the awesome @romanistanpodcast.bsky.social book. Thanks for helping me explore my heritage ladies! #Occult #Romani #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I got the last 2 painting stamps in Battle Honours for a free paintbrush wallet. I'm 1 stamp away from completing the reading portion for a poster & I need more folks to kick my ass on the tabletop to complete the gaming part for the dice. #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Ready for free mini day. A bag full of empty paint pots and sprues for recycling and a bin full of Tyranids to be counted towards both Battle Honours and the Million Minis challenge. #ReduceReuseRepairRecycle #Warhammera40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I decided that I really like that green on the Psychophage against the blue and purple. So I went back and added where it seemed appropriate on the already done minis. Stuff ya do on a work break. 33/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I ran out of space on my ingredient shelves. Luckily I have two more shelves that I can install. As I accumulate more ingredients & start making components, oils, & incenses in larger than single use quantities; I'll need them. Cheap spice bottles FTW. #Occult #WitchyShit #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

When you get, literally, the most accurate fortune cookie fortune of your entire life and you decoupage as one of your hobbies... this happens. It is now a permanent part of my paint station. #DailyLife #TTRPG #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Speaking of hobbyists... I busted out some rattle cans that have just been shelf decor for a bit, an old AF box from my "good box" stash, and a stained up TV tray to prime these two big bugs in the back yard. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Beautiful Snow Moon out on Imbolc. It's a good day to cleanse; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Probably wouldn't hurt to clean up your social media life too. #WitchyShit #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I made my own protection incense for a ritual tonight. I opened the windows & aimed this intent (along with the smoke) out to my many immigrant neighbors. You must do physical things as well as magic(k), tho. Be better than the thoughts & prayers crowd. #WitchyShit #Occult #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I had a nice day and I acknowledge that I am privileged. When I need #WitchyShit that I can't grow or make myself, I can just visit the local #Occult shops to stock up on herbs, resins, and fiddly bits. A couple books may have leapt into my shopping bag too. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

It has been four months since I ate beef due to it making me ill. My mom was cooking corned beef hash (my favorite breakfast food) for her and my brother. They both live with me. I decided to give it a go. Bad idea. Now I'm sitting at my desk feeling gross. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

My paint desk cleaned up between sessions and my rolling airbrush station. I do more than paint (day job, #Perler, #WitchyShit, draw, paint canvases, crafts, etc.) at the desk, so I have to keep it clean when not actively #MiniaturePainting. Small spaces can work. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Nothing like ice skating in my own backyard. The rain froze into a solid, even sheet on our back sidewalk. Me being me, I intentionally skated up and down it a few times while the dog did his business. I'm easily amused. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
