Yes! Well said!

Kate Officinalis @atinysilverfrog.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks! And same! I do that too. Most folks are really sweet & genuine, & ask questions for that reason too. ❤️ But for being known for being so socially accepting, the PNW can also be wildly elitist & judgemental. There's no shade some here won't throw. Portlandia told no lies.

Sometimes, living in the PNW can be like ...
Person: Omg! I love your ____! Is it *elite or niche thing*?
Me: It depends. If it's not, are you asking so you can criticize it, & me, & act like you don't like it now? 😁
*sigh*

Marketplace is always such a crap shoot, but before I left fb, this was my holy grail marketplace find. It's a 9.5 ft x 7.5 ft barrister cabinet we scored dirt cheap from someone's 'everything must go' moving sale. It's likely I'll never top it.

Yesterday's penguin pebble gifts from my husband, large pinecones & acorns, bc a while back I mentioned needing to collect some for a couple of projects. ☺️

Kinda same. For me, with astrology, I always learn something about the range of how certain placements can manifest. But with cards, even though I find certain cards have different meanings for me than for others, I sometimes know what will come up next, before it does. Intuition or influence? 🤷‍♀️

🫂 Get well soon!

Kate Officinalis @atinysilverfrog.bsky.social · 2d

Also 🫂❤️ to you! End of life professionals (doulas & hospice) have always been some of the emotionally strongest, compassionate, & most gracious folks I've ever met.

Agreed, definitely no shade to anyone else! Some just like to direct, & or recoup, their energy differently.

Normies often have a hard time wrapping their heads around when I occasionally choose not to accept payment for readings. They say, "Nothing's free!" Correct! I didn't say free. I said it won't cost 'you.' Bc just maybe, the offering of my labor ... isn't solely being made to you. 😉😁🎁🐴

Could be! I think for him though, the smoke & hay & ragweed pollen in the air & sudden jump in humidity & mold spores bc of the recent rains have been factors too.

🫂 It seems to be going around. My other half has been battling a migraine off & on for almost a week. His finally started turning the corner yesterday. Hoping you both get fully better soon! 🤞

Recently my Posts Only feed keeps rolling back to 3 days ago, but is occasionally current. Witchsky is only showing from 3 months ago & back, but my Following feed is current, & others have been equally weird. 🤷‍♀️

Is bsky glitching for everyone, or just me? The last few days, some of my feeds are showing posts from months ago, others will only show days ago, & others hours ago, but then occasionally, show recent posts. Wtf?

Caturday, also these kids my daughter was fostering for the last two months went up for adoption this week! August, the one eyed boy got adopted immediately, & we're hoping Hammie, a melanated tabby girl finds her furever home soon.

It took until October, but the tomato plant seedling our cat ate all the leaves off of this spring, & my husband got invested in saving, has, in fact, made a tomato! 🍅✨😂

I mislabeled the alt text for The Night of the Living Dead Market. It's Oct 4th, not the 6th.
