I made a little watercolour house and I like it so much that I decided to upload the plan so other people can make one if they want.

If anyone builds this, please send me a photo! I would love to think there's a little village of yellow cottages around the world.

We’ve woken up to a winter wonderland … I’m so happy. Probably more excited than our children …☃️🌨️❄️

After a wee break, from just about everything over Christmas and Hogmanay, it’s back to work today.

For me that’s about planning new craft projects for our shop, and seriously thinking about what we hope to achieve in 2025. We have a few ideas for our homestead, that could mean some big changes ahead, but we’ll let you know more once we’ve figured out the details.

Anyway, for now we just wanted to wish you all the best for 2025 and hope this year brings you some happy times and good memories … 👋🥂

Hiii I’m back

And I’m here to add to the collection of Gilan Davidson and his ever-changing appearances

[Image ID: A flat-color drawing of Gilan Davidson from the chest up. The background is differing shades of blue with red streaks behind him. He is wearing a grayish-green tunic with a brown shirt underneath. His skin is tanned, with brown eyes and vaguely spiky red hair that falls just below his chin. There is a faint stubble on his face. He is smiling, looking upwards. The silver oakleaf hangs around his neck. /End ID]

How do you think HOMRA, including Anna would do at the Scottish Highland Games?

This feels like such a random ask XD First, Yata would be so vocally embarrassed about wearing a kilt, he keeps asking why he has to wear a skirt and Totsuka happily explains that it isn’t a skirt (and somehow Fushimi is in the audience so he gets to say ‘nice skirt’ every time Yata walks by). I feel like the Homra guys might actually do pretty decent, at least in some respects. Mikoto and, unexpectedly, Kamamoto feel like they would be the real MVPs here. Like a lot of the games seem to involve the lifting and throwing of heavy things and I could see this being Kamamoto’s real time to shine, I feel like from the way we see him fight in canon there has to be some good muscle mass under all that fat and if anyone’s going to be throwing hammers and stones and stuff it’s going to be him. Mikoto would probably also be good at these once he’s forced to do them (I don’t know why Homra would be competing in the Scottish Highland Games but I feel like it’s fair to assume that it’s somehow Totsuka’s fault and Totsuka spends a lot of the games prodding Mikoto to do events, like come on King it will be fun). Imagine most of the competitors for the strength events being big guys and then Mikoto just strolls in, hands in his pockets, and sends things flying without breaking as sweat.

The rest of Homra do their best with the games, I could see them at least being respectable at the heavy events. I feel like Yata might do really well at the hill race, since he’s athletic and used to navigating around any kind of terrain (is there a rule that he can’t use a skateboard because otherwise he will try). Homra as a whole would do good at the tug of war too, imagine them all working as a team to win this for their King, who’s sitting out this one and napping under a tree. Anna joins in at the tug of war because she really wants to be part of the games too and imagine her being pulled off her feet almost immediately and then just dangling there on the rope. The Homra guys are pissed off that someone dared to pull their princess off her feet and promptly use all their strength to drag the rival team to defeat. Anna is a little disappointed that she didn’t get to compete much so Totsuka takes her over to do some dancing, Anna gets a pretty red tartan skirt and learns a few steps that she gets to perform for everybody, the Homra guys all clapping and telling her how good she is at it.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT

===============================

Montane woodland is a virtually extinct habitat in Scotland. Of the 5.1% of native forests in the Scottish Highlands, only a mere 4% exists above altitudes of 400 metres. Although important restoration schemes are working to restore Caledonian pine forest, temperate rainforests and montane willow scrub, a missing piece of the landscape is largely, if not completely neglected - mountain birch woodland. In what should be a transitional zone between lower and higher mountain woodlands, high-altitude adapted species like mountain birch have all but disappeared, leaving a gap in this ecological niche. This Mountain Birch Project (MBP), led by Reforesting Scotland, aims to progress efforts to reinstate mountain birch woodland in Scotland. It will involve locating remaining fragments, mapping their distribution and seed collection and propagation, as well as the establishment of a seed orchard.

Season 3 arc Underway

Now that the Season 2 arc has officially wrapped up, it is safe to announce that the Season 3 arc is about to begin, and it is going to start out with a bang when Richie and Tori deal with a fork in the road when an old friend of Richie's return and claims her son is his, things take a turn and Tori and Richie can't deny their feelings for one another any longer and they become an official couple.

The side story "Beginning of a New Life", will take place right after the first chapter of the Season 3 arc and it's the M rated story where Felicia Martins returns, joins forces with Ming and kidnaps Richie and then Tori and Duncan along with Amanda join forces with the Defenders of the Earth to save Richie.

Methos will make his first appearance in the Season 3 arc and the last few episodes of Season 3 are going to be altered as far as Richie is concerned. You'll see what I mean.

Look forward to it!

Maybe the TRAs are focused on the wrong group. A transwoman was killed by a woman using her words to "misgender" but by a violent man who used a gun

By Miriam Marini

Detroit Free Press

An 18-year-old Highland Park man was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Asia Davis, a 36-year-old transgender Black woman.

Carlos Lamar Scotland, 18, is facing four charges, including first-degree murder and felony firearm, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced in a press conference Friday. Davis, also of Highland Park, was found deceased with a gunshot wound to her head in a Highland Park hotel room in June 2023, prompting an investigation by Michigan State Police.

On June 1 at around 11 p.m., Highland Park Police officers were dispatched to a hotel on Woodward Avenue for a reported shooting. Upon arrival, officers found Davis inside a hotel room. Scotland, who was a minor at the time of the incident, allegedly shot Davis and fled the scene. Worthy declined to speculate on potential motives that may have inspired the shooting or the exact nature of Scotland and Davis' relationship, citing concerns for the security of the case.

At the time, Davis had recently finished nursing school and was on the path of a new career, according to the prosecutor's office. She was known to be a generous and compassionate person, Worthy said.

"Back in 2016, I was concerned and actually lost sleep because of the public perception of Detroit," Worthy said. "There were many unsolved murders of trans women of color. No one seemed to care at all. Nothing was really being done. No one was really investigating, and their lives seem to matter to no one."

And thus the Fair Justice Michigan Project was born. The organization is a partnership between prosecutors’ offices and law enforcement in Wayne, Ingham, Oakland, and Washtenaw counties that focuses on advocacy and education of LGBTQ+ and women's civil rights in Michigan. Fair Michigan special prosecutor Kam Towns is leading the prosecution in Davis' case.

"Having worked (at the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office) for 30 years before I took this job, I have a general sense of homicide rates in general, but specifically to the LGBTQ community, I can't really address that," Towns said. "I will say this, I feel like people are more brazen. They don't hide in the shadows as much as they used to when they go after members of the LGBTQ community. I've seen that as a change, that they feel more emboldened and more empowered to just act out in a way that they normally wouldn't."

Davis is one of at least 32 transgender and "gender expansive" people who fell victim to fatal violent crimes in 2023 in the United States, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Half of those 32 victims were Black transgender women.

Scotland is facing charges of first-degree murder, felony firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, and resisting and obstructing a police officer. While Scotland was a minor at the time of the incident, he will be prosecuted as an adult, Worthy said.

His probable cause hearing is scheduled for March 26.
