My favorite fictional tree is ailanthus tree in A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith. My favorite fictional forest is either the forest in Uprooted or the Midnight forest in The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden.

Just cut my rushes to make a Brigid’s Cross, and I will be putting my Brat Bride out tonight. Happy Imbolc/St. Brigid’s Day Eve!

I currently have a cat named Smokey!

Thank you for this! I’d never heard of Pango!

My dad sang “I Hate People” year round. 😂😂 I have great memories of watching Scrooge with my parents every year.

Scrooge is my favorite too!

I just made this mistake last night. It resulted in me getting no sleep because I spent the entire night trying to frame what I could’ve said that would have gotten through to the other person. 🤦‍♀️

Same.
