Brought in some stragglers from the garden, wanted to share 😁
Hand holding a red pepper grown to look like fruit 'n veg, as it were.

My OC sorcerer Timmon, having found his One, giving sage relationship advice to the young people in his circle:
Woman with an automaticcrifle leaning out of a car window, haor flying. Caption reads, If you can't imagine her like this, she's not the one

How about a first line for this one!

A knock sounded on the door to the small bedchamber, snapping Rhian Ehrlich out of a trance filled with someone else's second-hand terror and first-degree murder.

October and Samhain may be past, but it is still spooky and witchy enough out there for me to re-read A Little Familar by @rcooper.bsky.social in cosy, cosy happiness ☺️ 🌈🚀💫

This pervert is enjoying the sermon IMMENSELY @jamesbennett.bsky.social

Very cathartic, good for the soul, painfully eviscerating in equal measure

READ IT ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book cover of James Bennett's short story collection Preaching To The Perverted. An angel is standing with his naked back to the viewer, one arm wrapped protectively around his torso, ripped-off wings bandaged to cover the wounds

Yo BioSky, what is this pretend trilobite stuck to this stone in my garden, do you think? Dried slug? Pupa? #invertebrate #garden #riddle #OrJustWeirdDriedPoop
Pale brown tearshaped organic thing stuck to a grey rock. The mass has a lighter band down the centre and trilobite-like ridges to both sides of it. The bits closest to the stone have a vaguely dried-frothy consistency.

These folks keep claiming men have neither the mental fortitude to step up to the tasks of daily life, nor any concept of their inherent worth as just human beings, so they must be coddled as pretend-bosses lest they throw a toddler tantrum and leave.

What are you even saying??
From the New Yorker: In “Of Boys and Men,” Reeves, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, draws on the work of the late British sociologist Geoff Dench, who posited that the “fundamental weakness of feminist analysis” is its failure “to see that men may need the status of the main provider role to give them a sufficient reason to become fully involved, and stay involved, in the longer-term draggy business of family life.” And Reeves co-signs the supply-side economist George Gilder’s hypothesis that, once wives become “both provider and procreator,” their husbands become “exiles” in their own homes. Reeves mostly rejects Gilder and Dench’s line of revanchist patriarchy, but he credits them for correctly diagnosing “the dangers of anomie and detachment among men stripped of their traditional role.” In an age when two out of every five households have a female primary breadwinner, no one seems to know “what fathers are for,”

I mean, it IS nice to have one's name show up next to Edgar Allan Poe's on a cover 😁

Cover of Perseid Prophecies 7 showing a flat, wooded landscape, side edges bent like paper towards a sky of pink clouds & an eclipsed sun. Cover bears names of current writers & EAP, which made this scribbler here grin quite impishly

Clothes brands: "We don't care. We paid the influencers and they asked the Fae. This is what you wear now.
If you don't fit, tough shit, sucker"
Jeans snuck into our world by the fae: super skinny flared legs, about 10 inches longer than a human leg. No room for actual knee-width knees at all. Last unicorn stuff. Dito for this one.

😁Very fantastic too when we get to write the script ourselves and then commission art for it

Three people in a painted group pic, the tall man in the middle has tanned skin adorned with Celtic-style swirly tattoos, brown hair and beard, his arms are slung around the other two. On the left is a short, androgynous person with short light-brown hair, wearing a black tshirt and a fond smile. Both are looking at the tall, thin, olive-skinned man with dark, chin-length hair on the right whose skin is covered in mystic sigils and 'summoning circle'-type art mostly covered by a longsleeve, and whose face tries to hold on to an annoyed expression while he's actually deeply glad to be where he is.

*sobbing* Will nobody think of the middle ground?? 🧵
White denim jeans so wide and long it looks like a maxi skirt

They combine the top two thirds of one pair with the bottom two thirds of another these days.

It's fashion, darling.
I wouldn't understand. 🧵
Pair of overly long flared jeans with big rips at "knee" height.

W..what ...what is happening🧵
Jeans so grotesquely long and absurdly skinny that even Slenderman would not fit. Seriously, what?? Another straw-like pair of jeans. It might for a skeleton. My FEET would not fit, let alone my hippo calves

Oh man, I LOVE clear environmental messaging.
IF I see it.
Clip from NYT article on hurricane Melissa, with the pussyfooting subclause highlighted: We still don’t know the full scope of the catastrophe, or whether this storm was intensified by climate change, but we do know that greenhouse gas emissions have fueled warmer seas and bigger storms.

Thank you so much for my dear plotting Disaster Bisexuals™—🥰
Ballroom setting, high windows and chandeliers in the background while in the foreground, a couple is *plotting* - Selena, a brunette white woman in a vaguely Tudor dress, is sitting on the backrest of a cushy armchair, one black-nailed hand on the wrist of the man in the chair. Timmon is sitting cross-legged, wearing a lounge suit, and looking over his shoulder at whoever Selena meant him to see. Both sport occult lines and sigils on their skin that crawl out of their sleeves and necklines. Their expressions - faint smirks - mean (probably magically enhanced) trouble for the person they are watching.

On insta more than here, but @cordyxeps.bsky.social drew my three magical darlings in one of their "The Horrors™ are not trying to rip us to tiny paranormal shreds for a change, let's get flirty with our snarky sorcerer" moments and it's ✨on point✨

Merry None Pizza Left Beef Day to all who celebrate! Happy 18th, None!! 🥳
The famed now-18-y-o post showing a pizza in a carton. There are no toppings or sauce on the pizza, only some chunks of beef thrown onto the left side as if in disgusted anger. The right side is plain dough. Not pictures is the order form with all choices set to "none" except for the "beef" option which is selected for the left side only.

Time and again I think I should maybe overcome my kneejerk prejudice against people with mustaches, and then without fail ...
Screenshot of far-right "Christian" podcaster Joshua Haymes, a white dude in a white shirt, dark brown tie and light brown suit jacket, in front of a mic and with a bookcase behind him, who argues that slavery is biblically okay while sporting a bushy mustache on his upper lip.
