re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

If you write ‘unalive’ in prose or character dialogue, in your NOVEL - which I have seen TWICE NOW - I will immediately wince and full body cringe. The TikTokification of words has to stop. Your character almost DIED or was KILLED in your novel. They were not almost ‘unalived’.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

Ikr? 🤷‍♀️🙄💥

it's giving 'Good Faeries/Bad Faeries' by Brian Froud 😍

thinking about this poem again

My library had a copy of 'Sigil Witchery'! I like it so far and am trying Zakroff's suggestions in designing a sigil for protecting my new apartment- will report back. also- it was in the YA section, lol. This library knows what teen girls are into (¬‿¬) #witchsky #sigils #witches #reading

it's quickly turned into a very poor week. Forced to stay at temporary lodgings, I found a songbird tangled, in distress, nearby. Texted a local number who could only euthanize the poor thing. I'm devastated I didn't find it help in time. I feel a pall cast over me. Once home i'll burn a candle...

i got a great goodwill haul today! 2 of these dark metal twiggy tea candle holders and a broomstick designed iron trivot! my new place is looking witchier every day! #witchsky #witches #witchdecor

i've always wanted a tiny herb garden, now i have mints, lavenders, sages, rosemary, lemon balm and verbena <3 (plus a gifted cherry tomato!) i'm experimenting with some from-seed including chamomile (fingers crossed!) #witchgarden #teagarden #herbgarden

Was engaging with fellow writers on Threads—commenting, liking, just being myself. Someone appreciated it so much they bought The Serpent’s Bridge (99¢!) even on a tight budget. Made my day. Be kind. Be real. Be you. Never know who might discover your book and buy it. 💙 #BookSky #AuthorSky

You've probably heard of the Kitchen Witch (hanging witch doll kept in the kitchen as a household charm). Have you met a Car Witch? A few little ones have landed in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/SiltiCr... #magicalbazaar #witchsky #witch #carcharm #travelbuddy

I wonder if it's occurred to some professional users of social media (the ones who scold us for making it a liberal echo chamber) that some of us aren't here as a job and aren't posting for money, and just want to chat with people we like.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Look at my new view from the door! Moving work is mostly done, now i can sit outside, light some incense and finally breathe! o(*￣︶￣*)o #witchsky #druidsky #hedgewitch #witches

My favourite library quote is from newsman Walter Cronkite: ‘Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation’

i have to move again and I'm deep in existential dread ...( ＿ ＿)ノ｜ hopefully i'll be posting and making art again soon

Just posted! youtube.com/shorts/KslJH... #witchsky #heathensky #witchtips

What have you been reading? I'm still working through my library's collection. While not a druid, I'm liking this book on hedge druidry. I really click with the author's views on 'deity'. plus, It's got a bibliography and an ogham alphabet in the back! (major bonus!) #books #witchsky #druidry

“He was a Frenchman, a melancholy-looking man. He had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life’s gas-pipe with a lighted candle.” ― P.G. Wodehouse one of my favorite authors, if you need a break, his clever writing is like an escape in a bubble of silly sunshine #books #quotes

Your words are spells. Be careful of the negativity that seeps into your language. Guarding your thoughts and the words you speak is one of the most basic forms of protection. #witchsky

The secret is not to dream,” she whispered. “The secret is to wake up. Waking up is harder. I have woken up and I am real. I know where I come from and I know where I’m going. You cannot fool me any more. Or touch me. Or anything that is mine. -Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men #quotes #bookquotes

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN

This gets me every year. 😂 Q: How do witches buy their herbs? A: Imbolc #witchpuns #Imbolc #Witchsky #Pagansky

Listing plants that are otherworldly and fae: Dandelions- when the petals have gone and they've turned into delicate, white, fluffy, globes

time to take a second and re-read 'The Orange' i love you. i'm glad i exist. #poems #poetry #writersky #booksky

finally finished hanging the dried orange slices in my windows. It took all month to get past procrastinating to slicing, drying, stringing- so they'll stay up til Imbolc. The cheer is still needed. for now.... bed wins. Too cold today. Back into bed to finish work on my laptop 🛌

One of my favorite recent digital drawings. I never used to like drawing backgrounds but I've been practicing and using colors I like and actually enjoyed making my recent forest art. #art #illustration #digitalart #clipstudio
