Just adding this to my intro thread as a PSA: I subscribe to moderation lists that automatically block people who follow lots of accounts (I think 7,000 and over at time of writing, e.g. bsky.app/profile/auto...) so if I seem to suddenly and/or randomly block you, that is probably why 😂

It's officially spooky season, but what if you want a little guidance to ease you into it? Like a therapist, maybe. Or a therapist who happens to bring their own holiday season flair by coincidentally being a vampire. But where in the indie game could we find something like a vampire therapist?

Cheeky little October tarot reading, anyone?

A photo of my cream British Shorthair cat Mori curled up comfily on the floor, looking at the camera as The Moon tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith deck leans up against his perfectly loafly side. He looks both tolerant and content in equal measure - he is an extremely chill little dude.
