I set out everything for my Shabbat and Havdalah sets just to see what it all looks like together and I could honestly not be happier? Not all of the crystal matches (some are definitely the wrong tones), but it's all so lovely regardless.
I'm so shocked the table cloth I bought fits the table perfectly, honestly. I was prepared to be really disappointed about messing up the measurements or something. But I'm pleased I didn't botch it, and it all worked out. It's really cute and wonderfully thick, too. And the little crocheted "lace doily" thing I bought for the center was a good choice to tie everything together.
And yes, I'm aware that Tulips are toxic to cats. But no, they are not toxic by proximity like Lilies are. Also no, my cats are not capable of getting to the Tulips; they are put up where they can't get to them and being monitored closely. They're only down for these photos.
I love my candle holder for my Shabbat candles, too. Not too sure about continuing to use these particular types of candles for it for Shabbat, however- even though they're easily accessible for me and I have access to a wide array of colors (which has been very nice, seasonally speaking). The wax just melts really fast and leads to a big flame that freaks me out a bit. So I may switch. The holder, though, is wonderful- and it came from a local Vintage shop that I adore.

The little crystal cup I bought off Etsy to use as my Kiddush cup wound up being exactly the right size for me- which is a complete miracle. I thought it'd be larger based on the listing, but it's perfect; I really wanted a smaller cup since I can't actually drink alcohol and I honestly don't want giant cups of Wine or Grape Juice for Kiddush and Havdalah.
My Tzedakah Box is what I think is a jar for an old Oil Lamp; I'm pretty sure it's glass and not actually crystal. But I adore the pattern so much I couldn't not use it. Even if it is huge. I have no idea where I got this piece, though. I just ... Collected it somehow, at some point? I have no idea how or when.
And I scored a lovely set of 2 crystal dishes at a Garage Sale last year- one large round and one long oval (only the round one's on the table today). I bought them specifically to use as Challah dishes the second I saw them, so I'm really glad the Challah cover I bought fits over both of them!

I bought this adorable vase off Amazon, that looks like brown wrapping paper for those nice high dollar flowers you can get at street markets and vendors. I've always loved the way flowers look wrapped in brown paper like that. The color's off, though- but the vase is meant to be painted so I'm not too worried about it. I just haven't actually painted it yet (and I can't wait to).
I braided my own Havdalah Candle from some small Orthodox Beeswax candles I bought off Amazon as well. I was super uncomfortable using any of the ones I could find pre-braided online, since I'm fairly new at this. So I figured a small one'd be safer. The braid's not the prettiest, but the pack of candles is like 50 deep so I've got plenty to get better with.
And then by little B'samin jar is my favorite thing. It's a tiny little candy dish from the same local Vintage shop that I bought my Candle Holder from. I filled it with Rose, Jasmine, Orange, Clove, and Pine for my spices, and I love the way it smells together. I stuffed it the rest of the way with a little fabric rose, and then stuck a milky quartz chunk in the center. It just felt right for some reason?
I'm just ... I'm so happy right now. It's perfect. I just wish I had a slightly larger coffee table to eat at, ha 🤣 And yes, I'm aware my house is a mess and that I need to re-wrap the cat trees again. I'm working on some of it a bit today.

I had to re-pot mu monsteia plant. It's the third pot it's outgrown, and I got a nee plant for the old pot.
I guess mid to late 30s is the time in my life I decided I like plants and want to grow them. I feel now I'm better at keeping them alive.

I really despise the Marvelification of Stranger Things, because all the interviews nowadays are constantly referencing how fast paced and epic and big the finale will be but the reason people fell in love with the show wasn't special effects or long episodes; it was the plot, it was the characters, it was the mystery. Stranger Things 1 may have been a story about a government conspiracy and a monster, but that's not why we stuck around. The show can throw amazing CGI, Russians, a battle within the American army and an apocalypse at the audience with the biggest budget known to man but if they forget to ground it and keep it central, it'll just get lost amongst a plethora of other "epic" blockbusters. We want Steven King, not Avengers.

I think it's incredibly important to remind folks on testosterone or folks who want to reverse patterned baldness about their options, but man, does it sometimes suck wondering how much of our insecurities about our hair stem from backwards beliefs that to strive towards beauty is not only preferable but "makes you good."
As someone with a rather masculinized body pre-medical transition, patterned baldness has always seemed neutral. Hair is incredibly important (hell, much of my own energy is spent on my hair because I like it), but the pressure to have hair, to have hair the "right way" is something that I absolutely loathe.
I'm not here to judge people who don't want patterned hair loss or baldness, I'm here to say that those traits will never make you lesser. Not only is it neutral, but it is also just as worthy and beautiful.

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.
And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

I am 300% painting my door purple at the next house I have the capability of painting to my preference — whether that is the Farm (unlikely at this point), or otherwise (if we ever manage to buy another house); I will eventually have a house I can make JeWitchy and decorate in ancestrally inspired folk art flowers, damnit.

I’ve been in the dark about wh for a bit but I’m so happy to have been working with clown on it for almost two years now! I haven’t had much to show in the beginning other than the odd drawing or two but I’m happy to say I can talk a bit about the writing/art for the website!
It’s been a lot of hustle and bustle and a lot of work in progress but I hope everyone likes the work i and others have made for the update! I’ve been a writer, artist, and even prop maker for the big thing! I’m lucky to have had this opportunity and I’m excited to stay!
Hopefully I can post art regularly now that a lot of cool work is done! Please check out all the folks in the credits for all of the amazing work they’ve done, and please give Clown’s ko-fi a look through! Thank you so much for reading, neighbor!

Alhaitham, the moment his roommate leaves town: Ditches his house, hangs out in shady back alleys at the port, joins the black market to make illegal purchases, picks fights with random Eremites in the cafes, brawls with the chief of police, raids a forbidden temple, overthrows the government--
Call that "Kavehless Behavior."
