Hey remember the time the people who bought the farmers market stand thought they could sell Halloween gourds for $10 ea? They gave them away in November when they couldn’t and we ate so well that winter. Good times.
So excited to announce I’m hosting my first open mic ever it will be November 10th,2026 at Ypsi Alehouse from 7-10pm if your around please come out. Sign up is at 6:30pm
Apparently I’m a ring person. Wedding rings? Cute. Pretty rings? Yes please. Saturn’s rings? Gorgeous. Onion rings? Hell yeah. A Schatzki ring in my esophagus? Absolutely not. Some rings belong on fingers, not in my guts. I guess it’s my turn for medical procedures.
While I’m finding that writing my own music doesn’t come very naturally or easily for me, I have discovered that genre-bending while covering other people‘s music is something that I particularly enjoy. Someday, I hope to be confident enough to do it for an audience. 🤷🏻
Last night I left work just in time to catch the last few acts at FreakFest. It was incredible.
I have so many awesome projects I think about constantly, and it feels like I get about 5 minutes a day to work on them vs dumb stuff like keeping my body alive and pretending money is real.
Getting roasted is apparently a way to steal my heart.
Win my upcoming epic low fantasy book The Cathedral of Portals in a GoodReads giveaway (if you're American and have an account!). The early reviews say "The Cathedral of Portals left me feeling dizzy, deeply touched and trying to put feelings into words"! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...
Today is my brother David’s birthday. He would have been 40 today. It’s been 8 years without him. My brother was so kind. He always helped the people around him, even if it meant not having something he needed or wanted. In his honor, please consider doing something kind for someone else.
My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Heads up if you’re a cat’s person and feed them Purina One Plus Urinary Tract Health food. I managed to get 3 different bags across 2 stores that had mold in them. It has to be a bad lot and hasn’t been recalled yet.
I spent the first half of my day furious and the second half of my day so far crying at random. Hormones are dumb as hell.
My wedding ring had developed a loose prong that was snagging threads on fabric and even started pulling hairs, so it had to go to the jeweler. I got it back today and even though I don’t consider myself a big jewelry person, certain pieces make me feel whole. I guess I do like rings after all.
there are nights when loneliness isn’t loneliness at all it is the memory of being held in exactly the way your body prefers it is the ghost of someone’s warmth still living beneath your skin and suddenly the bed is too large, the night is too quiet, and sleep feels like an unnecessary cruelty
3 weeks until my next big adventure and I have so much packing to do. I will sorely miss my loves but a solo birthday adventure feels like a good reminder that I am my own perfect company as well.
And literally the next day I get tested to take my own advice. The audacity.
Karida CraftyEnby@preciouskarida.bsky.social · 2w agoYES YES YES. Don’t chase people asking them to love you. Just be the amazing human you are and the people who love you will show up.
Check out this charming little flyer for our upcoming show at Bemo’s in Bay City with our friends @swampratsmusic.bsky.social!

We always have a fantastic time at Ziggy’s. September 25th wsg Frog Island Power Boat and Mallory Wayt.
I have a couple of friends that always know someone when we go out, no matter the city or venue. It’s amazing to me to know someone so connected to their communities that they’re just well known. I recently realized that I am that friend for some people. My friend group is a Venn diagram.
An absolutely amazing time seeing @izak-detroit.bsky.social do what they do best.
I don’t know how to not love that muppet face when he’s in the groove drumming. He certainly loves what he does. What a goober.
