Just finished reading, and highly recommend.
I overheard my 9 year old telling her friends that I do SUCH a good Kermit voice, I'm really making it, guys.

WTF happened to Scathach after her last encounter with Matt? What was the fate of the Polk children who were taken in by protective services? Why did the word Croatoan only work once? What's the word on Emily?

Additionally, I have so many questions. Was being a "Black Widow" REALLY Zoe's first power to emerge? Did Hank actually love Cordelia? Why did Nan have to die and be forgotten so fast? Did anyone count how many times someone said "Witch bitch"?

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park.
Ming Wei Ma was a dance instructor & owner of the Star Dance Studio. He was described as a caring person with a selfless nature. He was the first to rush towards the shooter to try & save others.

I've binged AHS Coven and Roanoke recently, and now I need to know which season to watch that has the least amount of guts spilling out and Sarah Paulson wailing. Bonus for lots of Evan Peters screen time.

Don't you love that feeling of wanting to write more of a story you've been working on, but staring at a blinking cursor for hours- while the next day you write 1000 words of a story you just dreamed up less than 24 hours ago?

I had a 5 yr old customer who talked to me about how much she loves witches and cats. She seemed like a kid who would appreciate it, so I gave her a piece of quartz. She gasped and exclaimed, "I can put this in my rock collection!!!"

Just finished The Sundial, currently reading and loving When Things Get Dark. 🖤
Handmade ornaments are 40% off but you can't wait! I have to put the dang trees away. 🤣

I had to leave these two snugglebugs on the couch the other day in order to get ready for work. 😭😭

One of my favorite artists/art books.
Jack London: Wanna come over? Just a relaxed visit together.
Me: Jack, no, we've talked about this.
Back in stock! The Toll Road North by Lewiston's own Peggy L. DeBlois.
When the holiday gift swap is with your friends in your art community, everyone gets amazing gifts. I'm ridiculously happy to receive this piece from Krista Lord. 😍
The book calls this woman an ugly witch but I think she's a total babe.

I went on a deep dive into conservative Twitter tonight. It's a collection of the most unhinged, conspiracy-theory-filled, violence advocating, boomer low-res image meme shit you could possibly imagine. Leftist Twitter is just like "If we can pay for war, I want free healthcare."

funniest moment in It’s a Wonderful Life is when George says “what happened to Mary in the dark timeline where I don’t exist” and Clarence says “George, you really don’t—” and George says “TELL ME” and Clarence says “she’s SINGLE and RUNNING A LIBRARY”

FOLKS: The 2022 goth playlist has been updated with a bunch of new songs! I apologize for taking so long to add to it. It's been hard to find time with how busy I've been with work but I hope the new songs make it worth the wait 🖤

There was a young couple in my store this afternoon, and I think it was a first, or early, date. They were sitting so close to one another and I can tell they can't wait to work up the courage to kiss.
I just wanna slip by like

Me: Can I try on your (Halloween) wig? I want to see what I look like with blue hair.
Daughter, 8: Mom, you already HAVE blue hair!
Me: Yeah but I can't afford to keep it this vibrant.
