My poem, "Midsummer," is in this issue of Red Ogre Review! Please, check it out along with the other great work featured there. There is also an audio recording of me reading the poem, if that is more your speed for whatever reason. ❤️❤️❤️

@Rose_Siyaniye Yeah, it's a tough habit to break, but I've been inspired in recent months to dabble in it a bit more. For some reason, I love doing this with painting, but hit a block when it comes to poetry/fiction. Not sure why my brain thinks there should be a difference.

@doomed_spice oooh, thanks! I do like that price and it mentions almost everything I like (currant and amber being big ones for me too) I wish fragrance weren't such an expensive hobby. This is why I usually only go for the samples or travel sized options.

["Jez" is short for "Perfect," stupid. @LittleJezzie]

I just bought four travel sized perfumes and all of them feature vanilla notes. I never thought I was much of a vanilla girl (more sandalwood and patchouli), but here we are. I got Mugler Alien Goddess, Burberry Goddess, YSL Libre, and JPG La Belle, if you're curious.

@An_AmiGuRuMi I'm so glad my precious friend is happy and in love!

["Jez" is short for "Perfect," stupid. @LittleJezzie]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. YSL Black Opium has been a darkhorse fave of mine for a while and I also enjoy Armani Si.

@KaylaAncrum For real. Some people have zero self-preservation skills and I cannot relate. I've got plenty of fam who learned these lessons the hard way (grew up in STL area).

New bodycam footage shows Okaloosa County, FL Deputy Jesse Hernandez declaring "shots fired!" and "I'm hit!" and shooting at the handcuffed, unarmed suspect inside of his police car.

He had not been shot, rather, it was determined that he heard an acorn drop onto the car.

I finally got Britbox and now all I do is watch Toast of London on repeat for hours and hours each day.

Jon Stewart kicks off The Daily Show's election coverage with a wellness check on America's two chronologically challenged candidates: Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

If anyone has good middle grade book recs on Copernicus, Brahe, and Kepler (or any other notable astronomers), I'd love to hear them! I prefer biographies to textbooks for this kind of thing.

Thanks in advance for the absolute silence, Void I always ask these questions of.

I'm pretty fucking pissed at society for teaching me periods are supposed to be painful, tbh. Wanting to die in bed with the heating pad all day is super not normal, apparently.

["Jez" is short for "Perfect," stupid. @LittleJezzie]

So, I'm seeing a PT and scored pretty fucking high on the EDS test...already know I'm hypermobile and possibly have POTs. Didn't know things like endometriosis and painful periods as well as these other conditions tend to come hand in hand. Being embodied is SO MUCH FUN.

["Jez" is short for "Perfect," stupid. @LittleJezzie]

Also didn't know people with EDS may handle anesthesia differently. Thinking back to my first pregnancy, I did have issues with epidural (didn't work at first, then they gave WAY too much as compensation. Good times.)

It just sounds like they don't actually like writing at all.

["Jez" is short for "Perfect," stupid. @LittleJezzie]

This kills me. I understand not wanting to write some sprawling description for shit you don't care about. In that case, don't write the fucking description! Keep it short. Authors have different styles. I'm more interested in a character's internality than description. It's fine

["Jez" is short for "Perfect," stupid. @LittleJezzie]

Also, I know people write at different paces, but writing 9278 words in 3 days is...not a lot? I'm a pokey writer myself, but this load would not send me into some existential spiral. It's just over 3,000 words a day. My slow, no game-plan ass can pound out 1,000 words in an hour
