I got a new statue and did some reorganizing on my Hekate shrine. It’s nice to have this physical manifestation of my many years of devotion that I can come to and just feel close to Her.

Can we talk about how amazing Moomin is? The original creator Tove Jannson was openly and unapologetically sapphic in the 1940s. Early in life she dated a renowned leftist philosopher, then found her lifelong lover Tuulukki whom she built a cute cottage with on a small island. The show and comics teach children how important it is to give people their space and to understand some people just need alone time. Snufkin is an Anarchist who does crime for the greater good. Snufkin and Moomin are very clearly a coded gay couple. In one of the episodes a police officer says, “of course we dont have guns, they’re too dangerous.” Plus, my fave quote of Tove’s, “I only want to live in peace, plant potatoes and dream!”

If you're in Texas and you're trying to stay warm during the power outages, here's some tips from an Illinoisan currently living in Texas. Obviously battery powered heaters or heated blankets can be great, as is a fire in a fireplace. But if those aren't options for you, try:

1. You can use tape around the edges of doors and windows to prevent drafts, or use towels or blankets to stuff around it. We currently have blankets taped up covering our doors and towels taped over most of our windows. Avoid going into rooms with an outside wall or multiple/large windows, they're going to be colder.

2. If you're getting power back every now and then, fill a sock about 2/3 full with rice, lentils, or dry beans, stick it in the microwave for about 30 seconds at a time, checking to see when it's nice and warm. Then put it at your feet under a blanket.

3. If you have a gas stove, boil a pot of water. You can make tea or soup with it, but even just boiling water will help warm and humidify the home a little. Good for avoiding nosebleeds.

4. Set all your faucets to drip. Moving water in the pipes keeps them from freezing, which is good because you don't want them to burst.

5. Got a significant other? Kids? Pets? Cuddle them. Never underestimate how much it helps to have another warm body sharing a blanket with you.

6. Do NOT drink alcohol. Yes, it makes you feel nice and warm. It also causes you to LOSE body heat.

7. Move around! Even just bicycling your legs will get your blood flowing, which will help warm you up. Then you can go right back to bundling up.

“Like me,” said Snufkin, laughing. “They must be sky-tramps!”

Moomintroll looked disapprovingly at him. “It’s nothing to laugh at,” he said. “It would be a terrible thing if a comet hit the earth.”

“What would happen then?” whispered Sniff.

“Everything would explode,” said Moomintroll, gloomily.

There was a long silence.

Then Snufkin said slowly: “It would be awful if the earth exploded. It’s so beautiful.”

-Comet in Moominland

Had to do a sloppy lil sketch of this moment. Just started reading Comet in Moominland and of course Snufkin captured my heart once again :') love the lil vagabond so much.
