Disclaimer: I swear like a trucker in this post. It's not an angry post, just a sweary one. It's hard to talk about shit-disturbing without saying at least a few words that I wouldn't say in front of my mother. Gird your delicate loins accordingly. S hit-disturbing numbers and shit-disturbing Tarot are something that I have wanted to write about for a long time because to hell with all this love…
So Robert Birming is doing something called AuguStory, and I'm feeling spontaneous. It's been a long time since I've done a blogging event. I have to write the story of my blog for this prompt.

Maybe it’s…

Before they are anything else in the divinatory world, Tarot cards are a way to visualize your inside world on the kitchen table. And since our brains are wired to find meaning in just about everything we point our…
I was clipping along quite happily here a couple of months ago, enjoying the tiny internet, and then it happened. "Hey girl, how about some algorithm..." Substack and Patreon batted their eyelashes at me. Partly, I was frustrated because I couldn't, for the life of me, get Facebook to scrape my pages here, so I couldn't share blog posts. So when they flirted, I went running back. Lesson learned. I…
