Hello family.

I did say that I'm bad at posting regularly. 😊

I saw this today and it really hit home. Reach out to the ones that matter, while you can.

Death
makes a year
feel like just yesterday,
because the pain still stings
in the exact same way.

-[missing you today]

Hello, family.

I'm not great at posting regularly. But I've seen people struggling lately, so I want to say:
If you've had to go no contact with family because they support the current US regime, know that there are people here who will welcome you as chosen family with open arms and hearts. <3

Hello, family.

My Sal loves me and I am a lucky woman. That is all.

Good morning, family.

It's been a stressful few weeks. I hope y'all are practicing self care. If you need someone to listen, reach out.

This morning's soundtrack is The Sting, the music of the one and only Scott Joplin, composed and arranged by the late Marvin Hamlisch.

Love all y'all.

Hello, family.

Got my flu shot a couple of weeks ago - might be why I feel like crap instead of digested, reconstituted crap.

Sadly, it's keeping me from visiting C (P's nana), who just had a tumour successfully removed from behind her ear.

She was home after 3 days, like a boss. Blessed be.

Hello, family.

Here in southwestern Ontario, we have a little more than two hours until midnight - until the turning of the year.

Happy New Year, y'all. May 2025 suck less than 2024.

Hello family.

Blessed Yule.

As the days get longer - for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere - and the sun is reborn and spends more time in the sky, I wish peace and joy and hope for all of you.

Hello, family.

I think I need to make a list.

I think I should have made a list a long time ago.

I think I need to stop adding more Giftmas projects to the list I should have made.

Hello, family.

@saldemonium.bsky.social and I had a date day, today, since @darthwingnut.bsky.social and @alicorn73.bsky.social weren't able to come over for D&D. We hit Gibraltar Market. I got a third helix piercing at #anthonysbodypiercing and Sal got their septum pierced. It was a great day! <3

Hello, family.

Anyone wanna take bets on whether I can finish the *mumble* pairs of socks and *mumble* other craft projects for this year's winter holidays before Giftmas?

Hello family!

It's a SNOWY day here in London, Ontario. P and I just shoveled and salted our front walk, sidewalk, and the end of the driveway.

Stay safe if you have to go out in this. And please look after our unhoused family in this weather.

Love and safety to all y'all <3

Hello, family. Welcome to my knitting room.

Making my way over here from most of the other socials. Please say hello.

b: a person of colour
c: not a or b, but not trying to make it unsafe for anyone else
