What offerings would the forest god want?

Depends. What have you got? (Joking.)

He likes cool, clear water. Tea — hot, usually — with sugar or honey (cream optional). Coffee with a little sugar is good, too. Oats or porridge, however you call it. Berries or other fruits, especially if they are not common — he likes to try new things.

Oh, and he loves sweets.

In 2021, while struggling with my disability, I came across a post on Facebook. The post was about a person speaking about how they made scarves for the unhoused.

This post sparked something in me, and as of 2023, I have been doing just that for 2 years. With some help from my mom I taught myself how to crochet scarves. Over the past 2 years, crocheting scarves has become my favorite hobby, and become a great way to cope with my disability.

Though I know this project won't end homelessness, it will provide one more layer of warmth for those struggling during the cold months. I'm glad to know that I am able to do something to help my fellow humans, and at the same time it's something that helps me as well.

This year alone, I have created 12 scarves.

If you'd like to support me and what I do, consider commissioning a scarf from me. I currently offer single and two tone scarves for $54 and $66 respectively.

Every commission furthers my charitable work. Each one allows me to make at least two scarves for those in need in addition to the commissioned piece. For every piece you purchase, two scarves will be donated to this year's chosen charities. Any earnings will go towards additional charitable work. They will allow me to purchase more yarn for scarves and to donate items such as crayons, colored pencils, coloring books and other items that patients can enjoy to Brylin hospital.

This year (2023) I am donating to Friends of the Night People, a charitable organization here in Buffalo NY, and the VA in Cleveland OH.

Edit 10/23/2023:

I have created a log to track whether I am open for commission!

Sorry to intrude

Firstly, I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Secondly, I am reminded of our conversation the other day, about plants that will grow inside....

Do you happen to know of any tea plants(as in, plants I can grow to make tea) that will grow in doors? 😊

Oh

You just activated my trap card /ref

Special interest, tea trivia!

The actual tea plant is called Camellia Sinensis

But herbs and flowers that are easy to dry and steep for tea include

Mint(peppermint but spearmint or any mint could work), lavender, roses, hibiscus, lemon balm, chamomile, ginger, lemongrass, catnip, bee balm and more

Some require the leaves rather than the buds to be harvested but lavender you can harvest buds before they bloom and use them no problem

Drying herbs and storing to use for tea later does take some effort and it does require a bit of research on the plant, (what it needs, how it's best harvested etc) as well as research herb drying storing and tea steeping when you're making your own blends and such.

I'm more than happy to help out I even have a whole notebook and two books from my witchcraft collection that helped me learn

I *love* this topic very much !

Do you think in the future, if you haven't already, you could do a book on DID/similar like you have NPD and are doing Cotards?

DID/similar is one of those disorders I'm curious about but afraid of interacting with because I don't want to spread bad information on. I also have a friend and a you with DID and would like to understand you guys better.

i think it would be a good idea if we did a book on osddid (as we are a did system ourselves so it would be a little easier) but it would take so much longer because of how many differant kinds of dissociative disorders and systems there are (p-did, osdd-a/b and so on) which means there would be a lot of research and resource gathering we currently dont have time for.

so if we did make one it wouldnt be for a long time, especially with the several other things we plan on making books for.

For the asexual part, I suggest the book The Cybernetic Tea Shop! It is a Sapphic asexual love story that I just adore 💜 I think it's technically a novella? It's a short read. I think 200 pages or less. Trigger warning for hate crime though.

I hope you can find the media you are looking for 💜 I'm certainly looking for these types of media (specifically books) too. I'll try to save this post and add more if I find more media with these requirements!

I know it's kinda selfish, but can I have one asexual character that isn't aromantic? One who stands up and says that you can love without sex, and that they deserve love without having to engaging in something they prefer not to?

Also a aromantic character that isn't asexual? One who doesn't feel guilt about needing and wanting people, but not seeking a romantic relationship with them? One that is open and proud, and in no way ashamed for their lack of love and need of sex?

Please?

This is my parting message

I gave myself time to think and talked to some people about this and I have decided to say goodbye to y'all.

Time here has been great and I loved pretty much every second of it. However, I want to focus on my real life now. Tumblr became too big of a part of my life for my comfort. Basically, I think it will be better if I quit.

I don't regret this blog. It made me very comfortable in my identity, it educated me, it made me feel loved and brave and powerful.

But it's over.

I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me. For every like, comment, reblog, ask, tag, message and boop.

So... this is it. This is the end. This has been such a wonderful journey :')

Hiya!

I would love to learn more about Judaism, and Jewish culture.

Would you happen to have a few books or authors for me to start with?

.

Hi :)

Here's a link to a similar question on @ask-jumblr to get you started @kodiescove : https://www.tumblr.com/ask-jumblr/632363047394115584/so-as-a-christian-who-happens-to-be-interested-in

Jumblr, please add further resources if any were missed.

You wouldn't think it because it's me but TJ Klunes Tales from Verania series is just like.... my favorite example of raunchy queer s/ e / x/ u / a / l comedy.

It is not high brow material whatsoever but the audiobooks are a great performance and have actually gotten a laugh out of me, if only because of how absurd the books are.

[cpunkwitch]

I can't help you with your debt or a taxi, but I am making you your favorite meal, dessert/baked good, and tea/coffee right now okay?

kodie, my love, you precious little darling (platonic)

what?

[clusterrune]

I am so excited for your book!

after the post i made the feedback on quotev got decently more positive! so im pretty excited too!

i hope i can update it in the future with more details and rescources

im also hoping i can fix all the lists and reorganize on this blog but i dont have much to add, most of the lists are empty because i dont have anything right now or i dont have the spoons for whats in my inbox ^^;

maybe once i get things together for other pd's and stuff i'll make books for them too. (if my brain ever stops fixating solely on npd anyway)

@kodiescove

every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called “maybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)”. now, it’s important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself

so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i don’t want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead

now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here

the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because he’s so ugly it’s an embarrassment to the family

eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second he’s in the living room, the next he’s back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again

I am sooooo close to being done with this scarf for the unhoused!

The most lovely part about this scarf is I did the majority of the work at a loved ones house. He made me feel so safe and loved I was able to crochet freely all day long and it is thanks to him that I made so much progress in such a short time.

Hhhheeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy

Could you tell me about your compression gloves? Like how they help you, what difference you notice?

I just ordered some compression sleeves for my knees because they are..... actively falling apart on me and I'm being told by the internet that compression wear will help my knees but I don't know anyone else who uses it to be able to learn how to now if it's actually benefiting me.

I have an appointment with my primary in August. It's a new one so here's hoping they listen to me and give me referrals because I'm starting to think I have arthritis....

How I feel while wearing my gloves compared to not wearing them, I feel more support for my joints, the compression is like a hug that dulls the ache

Instead of having to rub my hands and stuff the gloves do all that for me. I don't have to worry about my joints popping and such

Without them I'm hyper aware of the swelling in my joints causing them to shift and pop and ache and such to the point it can be unbearably hindering

Compression tools help your joints through a light squeeze, keeping them from shifting out of place and thus dulling the pain, at least that's my understanding. They make it bearable and manageable and for some they even bring enough relief the ache and pain is just about gone.

I hope they help you 🫂
