thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.
a chapterbook: *came with a stitched in ribbon bookmark, had a cloth spine, had those rough edged finished pages, or came with a map*
8 year old me: i am a 500 year old librarian and this is the most valuable book in my collection. i rescued it myself from a castle as it burned to the ground. *gingerly runs my little grubby hands down its spine and gazes wistfully out of the school bus window* i am the keeper of all civilization’s knowledge
i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

this tea can be served hot or cold which normally i find to be false advertising and a sham, but it rly works with this tea! it’s great for just a quick pick me up drink and it gives a nice sense of security, like somehow everything’s just gonna be ok, ya know? also i highly recommend enjoying a cup of this outside in the sun if you can

Being a witch is aggressively meditating over your tea to make it make your throat feel better, furiously whispering a few odd words of an incantation while youre trying to go to sleep, spending hours looking in your spice rack for the herb you need, burning things, burning incense, burning your hand by accident Its filling things with positive energy and draining them of the negative, its being the person everyone comes to with their problems because somehow you always know how to fix it Its always smelling earthy and warm from essential oils and herbs, always carrying around rocks Its knowing in your heart that you can change things Its knowing that sometimes its better if you dont Its knowing that you are all you need sometimes, and belief is stronger than any potion Being a witch is not evil or bad or wrong, its soft and beautiful and pure.

It’s that time of year again where I make a mass recipe post because I love cooking hearty dishes and warm treats during the fall and winter. So here is a list of both vegetarian and vegan slow cooker recipes.
For the recipes that include animal products, you can use alternatives such as coconut or almond milk, maple syrup, and egg replacements to make it vegan. At the bottom of this page, you will find slow cooker posts for spring/summer recipes and an early list for fall/winter.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!
