I've been listening to this while learning to crochet. A retelling of Carmilla, it is gothically beautiful & deliciously wicked. 🖤 #booksky #vampire #lgbtq #sapphic #gothic

One thing toxic folks seem to hate more than anything, is you finding a way to permanently solve a problem they created for you, without you complaining about it, nor acknowledging them at all.

Waiting impatiently for his auto feeder to go off. #catsky #blackcat

Caturday, getting his brushing on! #caturday #catsky #blackcat

You know you're connected when you & your bestie @sch3llsh0ck3d.bsky.social pick up the same tarot deck from thrift stores, on the same day, 1250+ miles away from each other! 😂🖤 #tarot #tarotsky #witchsky #pagansky

A patch of Japanese irises, gifted to me by our local squirrels, blooming in our garden. 🌱🐿️ #garden #gardensky #plantsky #iris #japaneseiris

When I first tried growing it, it took me over a year & a sacrifice to the gods for my wormwood seeds to sprout. Now, here's one that volunteered in hole in my driveway. 🙄🤦‍♀️😂 #garden #gardensky #plantsjy #wormwood #wirchsky

I woke up laughing bc I dreamed I was driving & came upon one of those spot folks insist should be a zipper merge, where it isn't a merge, it's just cars staying in another lane deliberately to fly up & cut into traffic, which one did, & someone from the back seat said, "Oh look, a Maga Merge." 😂

I'm buying clothes & fabric at thrift stores & sewing & or altering them myself. Bc even though I have never been particularly good at sewing, what I'm doing, can't possibly look any worse than what the fast fashion industry is doing. There's never been a better time to give sewing a shot! #sewing

There are otherwise intelligent folks who we cannot convince that the sole intention behind AI is to maximize profits while deliberately diminishing the value of human thought, creativity, & labor, & there's no scenario in which that will, nor was it ever intended to, change humanity for the better.

Despite experience & planning sometimes gardening just doesn't go the way you want it to. Despite (weather wise) being the earliest garden season in recent memory, mild winter temps have led to a bug & snail pocalypse, & they've eaten almost every seedling that's come up. *sigh* #pnw #gardening

Just fyi if you love cats & tarot, & you don't have the Cat Tarot, you should. The Major Acana are 😂❤️ The Devil is a dog, Death is a vacuum, the Wands are wand toys, the Cups are water, the Swords are teeth & claws, & the Pentacles are all food. #catsky #tarotsky #witchsky #pagansky

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle ...

And I have a whole playlist! 😁 The noise I choose hits different & this is my happy place. #neurodivergent #neurospicy i#autistic

He's all tabby stripes and whiskers this morning in the sun, post brushing. Definitely an orange cat in a black cat body! 🖤🧡 #catsky #blackcat #orangecat #melanatedtabby

My daughter just gifted me the Happy Halloween tarot by Soni Graves, & it's my new favorite thing! 🖤 The melding of traditional Halloween images with tarot symbolism, Latin & Spanish influences, & gender neutral descriptors is just 👩‍🍳💋! #tarot #tarotsky #witchsky #pagansky

This is the summer life I'm living! #witchsky #pagansky #cronecore

Maybe it's the ghetto gal in me, but nothing makes me more suspicious of people than if I go to their home & it feels like they don't live there. Staged, no plants, pets, clutter, or if they have those things, they feel taken care of by an external service. #neurospicy #vibecheck #liveinyourspace

Speaking of sewing & the 90s, does anyone remember (specifically in the PNW) back when a couple times a year JoAnn's would have 10 patterns for $1 a piece sales & regularly hosted classes on how to easily size up or down any pattern? *sigh* The good old days. #sewing #craftsky #90s #joanns #pnw

Yesterday at the thrift store I said to my husband, "Man, I sure miss the really good floral button up dresses from the 90s." Then turned around & found these thick, king size, dark cottagecore, almost suede cloth material, sheets for $10. 🪡🧵🖤😁 #sewing #craftsky #90s #darkcottagecore

Irises (that are not black) blooming today. 🙂 #garden #gardening #gardensky #plantsky #irises

Herbs in the garden today, lemon alm & cinquefoil getting ready to bloom, angelica, valerian, calendula blooming, & the wormwood / mugwort patch. #garden #gardening #gardensky #plantsky #herbs #herbsky #lemonbalm #cinquefoil #angelica #valerian #calendula #wormwood #mugwort #witchsky

Also yesterday, my favorite of our red roses opened for the first time this season. This one is also the favorite of our local aphids, & the flowers always start out small, but get progressively larger & more spectacular as the season goes on. #garden #gardening #gardensky #plantsky #redrose

Caught the light just right yesterday on the Hello Darkness variety black iris. ✨🖤✨ #garden #gardensky #plantsky #witchsky #gothsky #iris #blackiris #blackflowers #gardenofdarkness #hellodarkness

Hello Darkness in the shade this evening from two different angles. This is as good as black irises get. I have 7 black varieties, & she's the blackest flower in my garden. She has some violet highlights, but her undertone is blue. #gardensky #witchsky #gothsky #blackflowers #irises #hellodarkness

Hello Darkness, the blackest of my black irises, opened today. This is her in full sun & she'll look even darker once she's in the shade. 🌱🖤 #garden #gardensky #plantsky #witchsky #gothsky #iris #blackiris #blackflowers #hellodarkness #gardenofdarkness

After looking for years, I finally found another mimosa pudica (sensitive plant) 🌱 It's small and struggling bc I don't think the folks who had it knew how to take care of it. Now I just have to keep my husband from harassing it while it gets stronger! 😂🤦‍♀️ #plantsky #houseplants #mimosapudica

I've been experimenting with veiling, & have been taking apart thrifted neckties & turning them into headbands / hair ties. And I'm taking a silly amount of pleasure in converting a societal symbol of status & conformity into pretty, less conforming, witchy protection. #veiling #witchsky #pagansky

Superstition variety iris blooming this morning backlit by the sun. 💜🖤 #garden #gardening #gardensky #iris #blackflowers #violet #purple #gothsky #witchsky

Comfrey blooming today. #garden #gardening #gardensky #plantsky #herbsky #comfrey #witchsky

This year's first black iris opened this morning! 🖤 #garden #gardensky #plantsky #iris #blackiris #blackflowers #gothsky #witchsky #witchesgarden #gardenofdarkness

Everybody meet the newest addition to my black plant garden of darkness family the Eclipse hydrangea! Her flowers range from red to deep magenta & she gets BIG. #gardensky #plantsky #gothsky #witchsky #blackplants

Happy Planting Moon! 🌱 For me, where I live, the full moon in Scorpio marks the beginning of gardening season proper! Persephone has returned, danger of frost has passed, & it's warm enough to direct sow seeds. For me, the season ends with the Taurus full moon in October. #pnw #gardensky #witchsky

Every once in a while my kid posts something that just lets me know I raised her right! 🖤🧛‍♀️😊 #booksky #gothsky #vampire #bunnicula #empireofthedawn #library #librarycard #reading #raisedright

This cute little ladybug teapot I snagged at the flea market a while back. #tea #teapot #teanook #ladybug #fleamarket #thrift

The only thing I love as much as a black plant, is a snow white plant. I have wanted one of these Angel Wings plants for over a decade & I finally have one! 🤍 #gardensky #plantsky #angelwings #whiteplants #lightgoth #witchesgarden

Caturday sunbath, mmmmm ... warrrrrm. #caturday #blackcat #catsky #warm #sunbath

Also yesterday, I found this fun little trinket / notion / bead storage purse at the thrift store! #storage #purse #beads #trinkets #notions #craftsky #sewing #thrift

Our lilac currently blooming, as seen from an upstairs window. #lilac #gardensky #plantsky #spring

This gremlin on the last day of our false summer before the spring rains & gloom returned. #catsky #blackcat #pnw

Also, earlier this week, parking lot sky. Almost every great sky pic I've ever taken, has been from a parking lot. #sky #sunset #parkinglotsky #pnw

Rainy Caturday morning in the upstairs window. #caturday #catsky #blackcat
