I took my new dress to the movies. We saw Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, naturally.

I call this horror punk pole, aka it was too cold in the studio to take off my jacket

Idk I just feel pretty today. Like, stupendously pretty. Preposterously pretty.

Plant-based meatloaf, mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, roasted butternut squash, and roasted carrots with fresh mint 🖤❤️

Today a student brought me some fish bones that they found, and I felt so seen. Yes children, bring your bone offerings to the Pine Witch.

I’m challenging myself to make more meals that are completely vegan. Tonight we’re having homemade falafel, couscous, sautéed collard greens, and a mixed bean salad, with a vegan cheesecake for dessert.

For dessert there’s nothing like a chocolate soufflé made with eggs from our very own chickens

The tough part about sharing something you love with someone who ends up hurting you is that now that thing is forever associated with them, even in some small way.

Oh well. I’m going to die one day, might as well get my heart cracked a little now and then.

The Green Knight - Masculinity is a construct. A horrible, horrible construct. Also can we have more medieval horror? I feel like we could use some more medieval horror.
