hey. what do a selkie and a ziploc bag have in common

I’ve been adding to my altars the past couple of days, now that I’m home from holiday traveling. I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from my practice because of said traveling and just general end of the semester bullshit, and my way of dealing with feeling distant usually involves gifts lol. I added a few things to my Aphrodite, Apollo/Artemis, Athena, and healing altars, in addition to giving food offerings, which has helped me to start feeling more grounded 💕

i can never face my family again

My three girlfriends. And yes, they smoke weed.

PSA: Don't use Open Office

I keep seeing people recommending Open Office as an alternative to Word, and uh... look, it is, technically, an open source alternative to Word. And it can do a lot of what Word can, genuinely! But it is also an abandoned project that hasn't been updated in nine years, and there's an active fork of it which is still receiving updates, and that fork is called LibreOffice, and it's fantastic.

Seriously, if you think that your choices are either "grit your teeth and pay Microsoft for a subscription" or "support free software but have a kind of subpar office suite experience", I guarantee that it's because you're working with outdated information, or outdated software. Most people I know who have used the latest version of LibreOffice prefer it to Word. I even know a handful of people who prefer it to Scrivener.

Open Office was the original project, and so it has the most name recognition, and as far as I can tell, that's really the only reason people are still recommending it. It's kind of like if people were saying "hey, the iPhone 14 isn't your only smart phone option!" but then were only ever recommending the Samsung Galaxy S5 as an alternative. LibreOffice is literally a version of the same exact program as Open Office that's just newer and better – please don't get locked into using a worse tool just because the updated version of the program has a different name!

Deer and jackdaws.

The birds feed on ticks from the deer, and also assist in removing velvet from growing antlers.

This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people

i've been sitting on this thought about the hatchetfield timelines for a while: i 100% agree with the 2005 timeline-split theory; it's all but outright stated in witch in the web and explains ted-as-homeless-man's presence in every timeline, since he went back to 2004.

but! there's a detail i haven't seen discussed, which also comes up in witch in the web:

at some point around the time the timelines split, miss holloway and wilbur cross got into a fight that only one of them survived, the outcome of which depends on the individual timeline. that means we can sort some of the timelines by which of them is alive:

black friday: wilbur cross. self-explanatory.

the witch in the web: miss holloway. the two of them do interact, but only inside nightmare time after hannah's power brings him back

all of nmt2: miss holloway. also self-explanatory.

nerdy prudes must die: wilbur cross. this is where it gets more into speculation since neither of them appears directly, but i think we can infer it from solomon lauter's possession of the black book, which holloway would have had if she were alive.

the rest i'm not sure there's enough solid evidence for to say either way (although i like to believe watcher world is a wiley timeline because of the voice at the sniggles show), but there's plenty of room to speculate! much to think about 🤔

Making twitch clips of Rusty Quill's TMA2 stream on the 30th and realized I have the power to do edits now.

Video description/captions under the readmore

[ID: a clip from Rusty_Quill's "The Magnus Archives 2 Kickstarter Pre-Launch!" Twitch Livestream. On screen are Alexander J Newall, Helen Gould, and Jonny Sims.

Jonny: Incidentally- incidentally- I- there's- there's another thing that I'm gonna spoil.

The video zooms in on Alex's window and replays Jonny saying "that I'm gonna spoil" in slow motion. Alex's face drops as soon as Jonny says "spoil" and an eerie synth noise starts.

A screenshot of the twitch chat is overlaid:

SashaNoumann: Alex looks terrified

tirednwild: KSUDHGKUSG

interstieller: ALEX'S FACE

Text boxes appear one after the other on screen, getting progressively shakier:

"oh god, oh fuck."

"what's he going to say now?"

"Jonny, it doesn't have to be like this"

"should I get Martyn to cut stream?"

"or would the snipers be faster?"

The synth noise cuts off as the video reverts itself back to showing Alex, Helen, and Jonny again as the stream continues.

Helen: Oh?

Jonny: and it's that Alex- Alex is stopping me... From naming one of the protagonists "Alexander J Newall."

Helen: [laughing]

Alex: Why should I pay for YOUR mistakes, Jonny??

Alex: It would-it would- it would do SO much damage SO quickly... Oh god, Jonny. Don't you dare.

Jonny: Now, to be fair, we're- we are co- we are co-writing it. You are... Perfectly able - and have, on several occasions - simply delete it.

Helen: [laughing]

Alex, jokingly: Hah. "Hi, everyone. Yeah, The Magnus Archives 2 isn't happening." "Why." "'Cause Jonny doesn't know when to quit."

Helen: [laughing]

Signs of Hell from Good Omens season 2

Me right now

upside of having acne and picking at it without noticing is occasionally i get to have a fun little lady macbeth moment of looking down at my hand and its randomly covered in blood, it makes me feel like the protagonist in a penny dreadful and thats the sort of whimsy i want in my life

cute gifting ideas!

for the extra-sweet girls, gays, and theys this holiday season

i've been seeing lots of cute wishlist idea posts floating around, but none for what to give this season! so here is a collection of ideas for gifts for your favorite people 🩰❄

crochet/knit goods!! homemade gifts are just a different kind of special. i really love to find an interesting stitch and make a scarf with it, i'm not great at following patterns but cool stitches are super fun and easy to learn and really level up your otherwise simple projects!!

mini body mist + hand cream set ⛸ minis are an essential for any busy bee, they're affordable, and they're a great way for your recipient to try a new fragrance! bath and body works always has excellent choices (i recommend frosted coconut snowball or strawberry snowflakes); or you could pick out a mini luxury eau de parfum if you have a bigger budget.

baked goods ☕ what's better than receiving a box of homemade treats? i love gifting baked goods because there is something out there for everyone. sally's baking addiction (blog) and claire saffitz (youtube) are some of my favorite resources for recipes. if you're on a time crunch, chocolate bark is a no-bake that's SUPER easy and everyone loves.

self care kit 🎀 i love making these for my busiest friends and family!! i typically include a face mask of some kind, hot cocoa or tea, a mug, and a nice pair of fluffy socks. other ideas include a bath bomb, lip balm/mask, sugar scrub, and chocolates! care kits are so fun to make because they are easy to customize and adjust to your budget!

a special book ❄ pick a book that is close to your heart and that you think your recipient would enjoy, and write a special note inside. maybe even annotate or mark special passages that really spoke to you or remind you of them. :3 i think this is a deeply personal gift that someone can treasure for years and years.

have fun gifting!!
