My sister got me embroidery thread for my birthday earlier this week so I tried my hand at visible mending for the first time today. Covered a tiny tear in my pants leg with this little leaf pattern. 🍃 Thanks to @wastelesscrafts for being my inspiration to try this sort of thing. 🪡

I feel like tumblr might appreciate seeing the most cursed item I own. Here it is when I found it in the leaf litter while hiking in January of 2019.

#technically it was facing down when I found it #but I didn’t move it’s location at all to take this shot #just rolled it over #i expected to see a glass or plastic gem on the other side #I was surprised but not disappointed #cursed items #cursed #rings #ring #cursed ring #found objects #found items #witchy #I guess #pepperiginal

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you. I cant remember how I found your blog, but it wasnt too long ago. I absolutely love all the things I've seen so far, but mostly I'm saying thank you for being the catalyst for what inspired me in my writing this month.

I'm a writer, I haven't done a proper story in a long time but this year, I decided to do NaNoWriMo again, I haven't done it since high school. I had characters, and a vague idea of what to do, but no overarching plot. No real goal. Until... I started thinking more about the world. Things I've seen and read because you reblogged them, and how much I cared without realizing it until I did. And that... that gave me the idea for the premise of my story, the big goal for my average every-day heroes to reach for, and it's all about trying to take care of and heal the earth . It's a battle against megacorps and the damage they're doing to the earth, and how to push back and start to fix it. It's not much... hell, it's barely anything in the grand scheme of things, but... this is the first time in a while I've had a story with a really good message. And that's all because I found you! So thanks. I really appreciate your blog and I feel I've learned quite a bit from it, please keep going

Aww! You’re too kind! I’m just being a little magpie up in here, collecting posts I think are shiny, that speak to me, or that inform my view of the world. I never had an intended audience, but I’m so glad that it’s been an inspiration for your work!

I’ve been an environmentalist for as long as I can remember, but finding the solarpunk movement gave me a new appreciation for art/writing that I didn’t really “get” before. The world needs more stories like yours. Whether it’s a novel you spend years on or a 20-minute flash fiction, having a solid message grounded in positive change will keep our daisy-chain of inspiration going, while we all work towards a future worth fighting for.

Happy International Asexuality day!

My icon has been a regular peppermint forever, I figured it was time for a slight update. I went looking for pride-themed peppermints and couldn’t find any?? So I did a quick recolor of some free clipart. I would love to see someone make a whole set of these images, or even real pride peppermint candies.

To my fellow aces, feel free to use this for whatever. It’d make a cute button. 💟

I just clicked a video in my YouTube recommended feed about cults (not my normal watch habits, I swear). Before the video starts I get an ad. The ad is for hecKING SCIENTOLOGY. Google’s targeted ad algorithm is killing me. Well done.
