The witch is a threshold creature. Wood's tangled border, shore's salt-line blur. For at the feral edges of the land her magic is mighty. The fluid boundary of the marsh offers reflected nephomantic glimpses, a rush of whispered wisdom. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

The little guys I have left! Half have gone off to homes, I so appreciate the support for this little experimental series.
Doing the shipping hustle through the end of the week, then I’m going to hibernate for a bit.

Ok this is very niche but if you're looking to buy OuiSi for the holidays they're hoping to be sold out in November and on break in December. So order now!! OuiSi is the picture card game you can play with people who have dementia. This isn't an ad, I am just a fan.

Look, if all you did yesterday was survive, that's fucking something. They want us dead. Continuing to breathe is fucking doing something. If you survived AND did anything to increase your odds of surviving tomorrow, you're doing fucking awesome. Reshare some folks' fundraisers. Keep yourself alive.
