You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

The Moon in Taurus asks who controls the doorway to our money, accounts, and purchases. As courts widen access for autonomous AI shopping agents, the deeper question is whether convenience is creating new freedom—or weakening the boundaries that keep us secure. #astrology

It's been a bit since I posted Katie's GoFundMe, but I finally scheduled her 6 month post op follow-up, which involves at least a check up and x-rays (not sure about bloodwork), but last time, the visit was close to $1000 with all three. Shares are always appreciated 💜🐾

‘I have been a speckled snake on the hill, I have been a viper in Llyn. I have been a bill-hook crooked that cuts, I have been a ferocious spear With my chasuble and bowl’ ~ Taliesin Tomorrow, to mark the start of Wales’ National Eisteddfod, #BookWormSat will celebrate with Welsh literature.

🖼️ Arthur Rackham Illustration of two twisted pollard willow trees. Their gnarled trunks and sprawling, exposed root systems morph organically into one shared root base. At the bottom right, tucked safely among the roots and low shrubbery, a group of fairy creatures interact. A small, naked fairy figure sits on the ground with its back to the viewer, closely reading an open book. Next to it, two small elfin or goblin figures with pointed red caps watch on. The background portrays rolling, pastoral fields. A white chalk cliff or quarry cuts horizontally across the distant hillside. Nestled in the valley between the trees and the cliffs are small thatched-roof farmhouses surrounded by fenced fields and winding lanes.

I like to find plants that have little folklore that has survived over time. That are around, consistently but not medicinal, not poisonous. Not edible for humans or livestock. During this time, the grasses are going to seed. I sit with these and learn their lessons. #FolkWitchFriday

Every book you collect is an act of rebellion. A library is a temple to humanity. A book destroyed is a burden to us all. A librarian is a priest to the greater good. - Via Hedera. Author of “Folkloric American Witchcraft and the Multicultural Experience: A Crucible at the Crossroads”. #booksky

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

An excellent thread on special editions, but holy wow, this line: "Sales are what romance gets *instead* of importance." YEP

Olivia Waite@oliviawaite.com · last wk.

The exception is: romance. Romance sales numbers are not permitted to measure importance. When multiauthor romance box sets started to dominate the NYT bestseller list in the early ebook era, they *changed the rules of the list* to exclude them. Sales are what romance gets *instead* of importance.

If you want to know the secret to being super prolific, it's having a wife or wealth, so other people clean your toilets and feed you while you work.
