First, they had excellent morning coffee. Then they had lovely ice cream.

A lot of what we do - hobbies, leisure activities - are governed by social expectations. Find out what *you* like, and then make sure to do it, at least occasionally.

So I picked up Slippery Creatures by @kjcharleswriter.com and devoured it in three days. I just need silly queer romance in my life, the hard-hitting sci fi can wait.14 Mar 2025 13:06 +0000at://did:plc:nylwsnics2vsb4xzuyj7b65c/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkdoi4h3tk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/novemberalice.bsky.social/post/3ljvd54iqk223Today I planted a raspberry bush and a lavender, and sowed kohlrabi, celeriac, tomatoes, chilis, cucumbers and a whole bunch of different herbs.

It is, therefore, my favourite act of necromancy: walking a cemetery, tracing the withered names on washed-out sandstones, and speaking them again out loud.16 Feb 2025 21:53 +0000at://did:plc:nylwsnics2vsb4xzuyj7b65c/app.bsky.feed.post/3lid7sovzls2phttps://bsky.app/profile/novemberalice.bsky.social/post/3li5zqnkxd223Feeling called out in my gaming habits here.
