Wisptober Day 24 : Bound

“The ghost gazed across the beautiful horizon and brilliant stars.  The full moon was warm and gilded where it hung in the sky.  Perhaps being bound to an old sailing ship was not such a terrible fate after all…”

Another Nautical ghost! I normally try to not repeat themes too often but I have been listening to a lot of sea, ghost ship and haunted lighthouses stories lately so it wont leave my head.XD

Wisptober Day 15: Path

“The changing colours of the leaves were a perfect excuse to take the longer, more meandering path through the woods on their way to the village market.”

Wisptober Day 5 : Fissure

“At the heart of the oldest cemetery in town is a grim statue with an immense fissure running through it. If you visit after midnight, it almost looks like something is peering back at you through the crack…”

Just a spooky friend!

Wisptober Day 1: Tower

"A lone tower stands in the middle of the hazy lake.  If you want to visit the doddering old king who lives in the tower, you need only politely ask its guardian for safe passage upon its back."

And its a start for this year!:D

I wish I had done the water slightly better but still happy with the foggy aspect!:D

as I've gotten older I've become less and less interested in gender or sexuality as identity and more interested in gender and sexuality as action and relation

maybe subconsciously but a lot of people really do not believe women are intelligent enough to be funny on purpose, or absurd/ironic on purpose, or make art that makes people uncomfortable on purpose. “omfg how did she not realise how this would come off” she realised. i promise she realised. i’m going to kill you.

I feel like the age of having a "burner email" is gone. Out of curiosity,

WWI media these days is like 'Everyone is British or sometimes German, nevermind that it's a WORLD WAR happening on another country's soil. All battlefields are muddy like Passchendaele in 1917, even though it was relatively rare.'

lol apparently I taught my parrot that "are you okay?" "yeah, thanks" is a call-and-response phrase and now if you answer with anything other than "yeah, thanks" he gets upset and keeps asking in an attempt to get you to say the "right" answer.

there's nothing like explaining what you're studying to someone that knows nothing about it to reassure yourself that yes, you're actually learning something and not just reading and forgetting

"i'm killing myself" is a morally neutral statement to me. she's like a daughter who I love past all her flaws
