Name Four Non-Person Things That Make Your Life Livable: 1. Apples 2. Music 3. Writing 4. Forests

I just covered my cello case in LGBTQ themed stickers.

I showed my mother her new watch and she said I was "the sweetest girl ever". 😭

All right horologues, how do you like my present for my mother? A Citizen Tsuyosa with a pink sunburst dial, 37 mm. Comes with the Citizen 8210 calibre automatic movement!

Why did 100 people like a post I made about playing music?

I played bass and cello professionally in one day and my fingers hurt.

It should be illegal to write any cello parts in B-flat minor.

Lots of office chat about new Greggs sausage rolls. My life. Could it get any more exciting.

I'm so good at what I do that even cherry trees get blossoms. You're welcome, cherry maidens [derisive].

The Pawtucket Tribunals

Won't be too long now before the apples start to blossom. This was early variety 'Devonshire Quarrenden' this afternoon.

New Englanders quietly revel in the inability of everyone else to pronounce our British and Algonquin town names. Nearly every town name in Massachusetts is a shibboleth.

My problem with Mastodon is that it's something you basically have to beg other people to use if they aren't already using it. I invited dozens of people to Bluesky and they all came, but of the dozens of people I invited to Mastodon, it was, like zero. Mastodon is just THAT unlikeable, apparently.

Ironically, everyone who liked this post is already my mutual. 🤭

I'm finally following some people back who actually interact with my posts. I'll get to you eventually if you keep doing it!

I might be partial because I've lived in both, but Springfield and Worcester, Massachusetts are nice cities. They really don't deserve the snooty disdain they get from Bostonians. Also, Stirling, Scotland is a great city. The Gateway to the Highlands, wenches! Eat your heart out, Edinburgh.

[Two Millennia Ago] Meneswā: Hey, Mathonwy. Me: Hey, cousin! Her: What are you doing? Me: Well, it's Springtide, so I thought I'd resurrect this guy, Jesus. You know, like I do with all the plants? This will be a sign to mortals that they should worship me! Her: We'll see how that goes for you.

Everyone should listen to me, indeed! HEED MY COMMANDMENTS!

Now I see that I'm going to have to re-label the sections of my book to get ridiculous people to read them. My prologues are now going to be called "Chapter 1: Prologue" and my epilogues will be called "Chapter [X]: Epilogue".

Look, I'm only one maiden. I can't bring Spring EVERYWHERE all at once. I'm making my way up there!

I'm really offended that you still can't get a Rolex Oysterquartz for less than $5000 on the reseller's market. It's a quartz watch made out of steel! That's a $100 watch, tops. It doesn't communicate, "I'm sophisticated and I have taste." It communicates that you're a fool.

When I'm queen, there will be no STEM majors. Science and engineering are hobbies, silly, and should be taught to 12 year olds in trade schools. Get yourself a real subject matter, like one in the fine arts or humanities. No, this is not a joke, I'm just full of spite and mischief.

Fairy: Here they come! Vampire: Let them come! Werewolf: Aye! We have a powerful being on our side. Attack! Me: *holding up a finger as I type on my phone* Just one sec, I got another prayer request. This one is earnest! *typing away absently as the wizards turn them all into toads* There, ready!

Advantages to being a goddess. -Can touch iron, unlike fairies. My uncle is the god of smithing. -Immune to vampirism. They turn human again if they drink my ichor. -Charmed fortune. The Fates are my cousins. But each of us is a Sisyphus. Bring the spring every year, year after year after year...

Dana is so hot, it's not even fair. They cast some kind of spell called "Enthrall Goddess With Loveliness" and now I must pine for them every moment they aren't kissing me.

I really like this picture of me and @danatyphon.bsky.social from when they accompanied me to commencement.

Princess energy is the best energy

Show me the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Look, I'm not trying to be mean, but I have to ask why it's BAD if leftists are setting the tone here. The implication is that a place having a left-wing tilt is bad, and that's just begging the question. Maybe we WANT this place to be left-wing. Maybe that's actually an awesome "problem" to have.

If Bluesky dies, I'll still be here. I'll still be here when everything dies, one generation after another after another after another... I'm immortal.

My housemate bought me a gadget for Christmas. I only used it twice and now it's inexplicably broken. Now I have to hide it because I don't want her to feel bad that she bought something that broke.

I was in the supermarket and an older man walked by me with a big grin and said, "My beautiful lady, god bless you!" I'm already divine, but thanks!

SPRING HAS ARRIVED IN MAINE FOR REAL! A FLOWER HAS BLOOMED!

I think about this one way too much

I'm technically Dana's property because my mother jokingly sold me to them for $1 and then gave me away in marriage and said, "She's your problem now!" (My mother loves me, I swear!)

Well, my spouse is four years younger than me, so I don't think we could have been married when I was 19. Or is the question meant to be, "Where would I be if I married the person I was in love with when I was 19?" But I didn't love anyone at that age, so... *shrug*

Whenever someone talks about observing a weird fashion rule (like "don't wear black tights in spring" or "don't wear white after September"), I honestly just think they are hopeless normie squares. Following arbitrary fashion "rules" is the style equivalent of being a cis straight person.

As the Goddess of Spring, I think I have the authority to tell all of you that I do not care in the slightest how you dress. Wear whatever you want in any colour. I mean, have you seen my flowers? I don't skimp on the 96 colour crayon box, do I? "Spring colours", pfft. They're ALL my colours!

You can tell that mortal men were the ones who wrote down our mythology because they always talk about this god kidnapping and assaulting that goddess, or this deity battling that deity, and never about how the Goddess of Spring pulled pranks. You need to get your myths straight from the source.

April Fool's Day was banned in the Otherworld after 11 BCE when I dressed up in my mother's surcoat and tiara and issued a royal decree that we were going to war with the trees of the Twilight Forest. The Council of Deities called my mother "The Mad Queen". I started a whole rebellion against her.

Oh my goodness, I hear thunder in Western Massachusetts!

Dana and I still can't figure out who is the dominant and who is the submissive one. We're too complex. Dom behaviours: 1. Mathonwy always drives. 2. Dana is always player 1. Sub behaviours: 1. Dana does housework. 2. Mathonwy needs constant affection. We're just all over the place.

I think that, when this regime is over, we've just been given carte blanche to torture Republican voters under the guise of conversion therapy, right? I'm not saying we should, I'm just saying that...we can? You wouldn't want to regulate our speech-based viewpoints, no?

I only agree with this insofar as I agree that no politician should have better healthcare than ANYONE in this country, veteran or not.

That contemporary popular music is art for the same reasons that any music is art. Surprisingly controversial amongst a lot of those who study classical music and seem to think it's particularly special in the history of western European civilisation.

This is admittedly not particularly relevant to the question, since I don't know if American leftists know this about Quebecer nationalists and/or use it as their reason for not being thrilled about them. But, in my experience living in Quebec for a bit, the nationalists are weird right-wingers.

GOALS!

This reminds me of when I took a free karate class with a friend who was a student at that studio. The head teacher was a guy with the surname Bates, and, you guessed it, he made us call him Master Bates. I was just old enough to understand that it was a "bad word" and had to bite my tongue.

My parlour trick is reciting Poe's "The Raven" in its entirety to my class to (a) talk about gothic art/music within the Romantic Era and (b) give myself goth girl credibility.

[me, an intersex person] I've been gender non-conforming since I was a zygote. 😎
