This is Richard. He's sometimes accused of not being a real dog because of his weird paws and inability to bark. Thinks his pack would say otherwise. 12/10 for all (IG: richardandtheguardians)

I wanted ferns in my garden. I tried to buy fern seeds, but the plant store said that ferns come from a time before seeds were on the planet. All you can do is buy a fern and plant it. If the fern likes your yard, they'll sort it out themselves. Seems like they like my yard!

My perspective on this is informed by having worked as at a state psychiatric hospital for three or so years when I was young, and by having done my training at a couple more while studying toward board certification.

For it is St. John’s feast and all our shadows are given permission to walk abroad independently. We can only hope that they get up to the right sort of mischief.

#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: “There’s a white horse that goes around Lough Gur every seven years, you see. He only comes around when someone is to be drowned. And there was a couple drowned here, some drowned themselves. And more was drowned by accidents in boats.” Source: voicesfromthedawn.co...

Many folklore creatures seem perfectly suited to camp settings. The Púca, forest spirits, will-o'-the-wisps, and hidden fairy folk all belong in those liminal spaces where civilization gives way to wilderness. #FairyTaleTuesday

We bring you a great tale this week, touching on such classic Grimm tropes as "only name a couple of side characters" plus, thankfully, a return to creative capital punishment and a quick jaunt into some of the live-action Grimm adaptations over the years.

Borrowers are reporting increasingly worsening problems and inaccuracies with application processing for popular repayment plans, and the issues could not be coming at a worse time.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was perfectly fine before the orange felon wasted upwards of $17M to fuck it up it and pretend to fix. Now aside from green algae and peeling blue paint, dead animals are being seen in the mix. This wasn’t a renovation, it was sabotage.

Summer Solstice captured from Stonehenge yesterday. At first light, the sun climbed up behind the Heel Stone and threaded itself straight through the center of Stonehenge exactly where the builders aimed it nearly 5,000 years ago. Ethereal Earth on FB

And speaking of magic spells, a very happy Solstice to those that practice. I hope your rites and rituals went well! And may we have a bountiful harvest. Bunnies keep eating my kale, but the lettuce, raspberries, and squash are all looking good! #gardening #rabbits #veggiegarden

According to folklore, the summer solstice is a liminal time of the year, when the veil between this world and the Otherworld is thinning, and fairies and other supernatural creatures may cross over into the human world. Traditionally bonfires were lit to keep otherworldly (1/2) 🎨 Tessa Mythos

New song dropped from Khylie Rylo! It's great. Also you should follow @khylierylo.bsky.social because they're great. 🖤💜🖤. One of God's own prototypes. A delightfully bizarre, Electropop, alien friend of mine never even considered for mass production.

It's 4 stops on the S1 from Berlin Friedrichstrasse, and 3 stops from the Brandenburger Gate. The cemetery is next to Yorckstrasse station. The S2 will take you to a different Yorckstrasse, so don't take the S2. It's in the inner city, so you don't have to travel far to see the rest of Berlin.

This week's is several we've seen stapled together. However, we discover that parents really do have a favorite child, that material goods are sometimes easier than happiness, and that indecent proposals can actually work out in the end. brothersdimm.com/episode/sing...

Happy Pride, New York City!

Here we have one of the best stories we've read in a long time, succinctly summed up as a tale of sexy shoes and drunken shenanigans from a girl you can't help but root for. brothersdimm.com/episode/clev...

Time is money in this lesser-known shorty about -- you guessed it -- cocks and nuts and greed, wherein everyone dies and Phil wants to (again?) reboot Skinemax classic Emmanuelle. brothersdimm.com/episode/deat...

This week's A-tier story features a couple of classic tropes: Saint Peter being a dick, and the Grimms not being entirely clear on how Hell works. Mix in a sprinkle of Trainspotting parallels and a good game of Sardines and we're off to the races! brothersdimm.com/episode/gamb...

The Grimms bring us a very confusing tale of marriage, full of puns about patches. But don't worry, we make it even more confusing with Joe Millionaire, Pulp Fiction, and PBR. brothersdimm.com/episode/hans...

Baucis and Philemon are a married couple who, in Greek myth, show hospitality to two strangers who are the gods Zeus and Hermes in disguise. The gods destroy the households that didn't welcome them and reward the couple with guardianship of a temple. #WyrdWednesday
