🚨FOR PETE’S SAKE PEOPLE, DO NOT EAT THINGS YOU THINK MIGHT BE WILD CARROT/QUEEN ANNE’S LACE UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE WILD HEMLOCK LOOKS A LOT LIKE WILD CARROT AND IS BAD NEWS FOR THE HUMAN BODY www.dcmga.com/wp-content/u...

Only learned recently that this thing I’ve been calling Queen Anne’s Lace for most of my life is actually also called a “wild carrot.” Totally blew my mind. I didn’t eat it, but it *smells like a carrot*. There were hundreds, so I pulled one and washed off the dirt at the riverbank.  

The wild carrot lying on its side over some old bonfire with bits of charcoal, the point of the carrot is pointing to our right, and the green part is to the left. The carrot is slender, pale, almost like an off-white color and alongside the shaft of the main carrot, there are many roots that go out almost in right angles.

I hate AI & have zero issues calling someone out for using it. BUT, only if they admit to using AI or there is 100% proof that they used it. Falsely accusing someone of using AI could hurt/destroy their career & it makes you look stupid. Also don't rely on the AI scanners to "prove" your case.

For this #folklorefriday we’re covering another of the fearsome critters. This time it’s the Beast of Bladenboro from North Carolina. I do want to give a content warning on this one, as I will need to mention real harm that came to some dogs. Please skip this one if that’s upsetting for you. 1/12

The best thing I can do promo wise is suggest that you follow me here on Bluesky to see how the book's going, peer at my silly art, & get folklore drops on Fridays. #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

Answer 3: I haven't met a genre I didn't like. I have a special place in my heart for fantasy, as I adore writing strange magical places. Of course that might also explain why I enjoy DMing tabletop games 😊 #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters

Hi, I'm Myrtle (they/them). I've been working on a fantasy romance novel set in about the 16th century with a Grimm's Fairy Tale vibe. It's about Nettie, an abused woman who finds herself tangled up with The Raven King. #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters

Find 5 words using Merriam-Webster's Time Traveler from your birth year that fit your vibe. www.merriam-webster.com/time-traveler/ Mine are: 🔸Cocooning 🔸Cringey 🔸Deep Dive 🔸Force Quit 🔸Stud Muffin Also, 1986 was the year a lot of diseases were coined, as well some troubling Regan Era terms 😬

Find the 5 words from your birth year that perfectly describe YOUR vibe ⬇️ www.merriam-webster.com/time-traveler/

I recently discovered Merriam-Webster's Time Traveler feature which tells you which words are the same age as you. I'm convinced there are 5 words from your birth year that perfectly describe your vibe. Mine (1987): · -adhd • brain fart -dad joke -potty-mouthed -thirtysomething
