Also, hello to new followers from Twitter! I'm Loira. Some of you might vaguely recall me from WoW. These days I sometimes write TTRPG reviews! I stream cozy-horror games on Twitch even more rarely!

Mostly I help out my friends in Urban Heat, and write about my time on the road with them.

Today I'm doing a talk about Women and the (early) Gothic and it might be time for a list!

So here are ten early women writers of the Gothic to give an idea of the range of things that women were creating in the period!

People have no idea how well priced Bibi's disability/mobility aids are and how excellent the quality is. Bibi's stuff LASTS. It wears well. And Bibi is bending over backwards to accommodate US customers right now due to tariffs we never wanted and Bibi has no control over.

This isn't towards those who are broke.

I've noticed that people devalue my work. I could have hundreds of reviews raving about my products. But people only wanna support me if they feel they're getting a VERY "cheap" price. While so many other creators can charge whatever for their products.

if you're curious about WHY every other occult horror movie is chock full of Hebrew-lettered diagrams, & also why this actually sucks, you can read my (citation-heavy) zine on the subject here ezrarose.itch.io/fyma-a-lesse...

Simril ball in tonight's game and it was so much fun seeing what everyone got up to!

Did also enjoy the deeply divided opinions on Eli's personal relationships. Half the party is taking immense psychic damage 😂

"This government is interested in results, not objectives." Like ok man but what does that MEAN??!! "I'm interested in arrivals, not destinations" Huh?! "I'm interested in feeding hungry people, not serving dinner." WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

This year, it comes as the UK is about to pass a law guaranteeing the right to bereavement leave for miscarriage, making us one of only 4 countries in the world to offer it.

My heart is with everyone who experiences the heartbreak of baby loss.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

I bet! I do feel like Legion was a good one for learning that, especially with the class halls reallyyyy feeding into the fantasy of what each class is "meant" to be. That was cool. Had me trying classes I never would have otherwise to experience the story/get mounts haha.

Loira 🧪 @mswinford.bsky.social · 3d

It was so bad!! The only way I could get through the city was by setting myself to follow someone else in the group, or getting on a two-person mount.😂

My laptop was, very intentionally, not meant for gaming.

Legion was also my first time playing Priest, which only came about due to RP reasons - I played Disc and Shadow, but mainly Disc - for our plot. That character went on to be my main for the next 2 expansions!

With all these Legion remix posts on my feeds, I'm remembering when I returned to WoW near the end of Legion.
Whenever I'd leave mythic dungeons with my guild and teleport back to Dalaran it would our time for a break as it would take my computer 10ish minutes to load 😅
