springtime in our little reclusive sanctuary

[gelfling]

we had the absolute BEST solstice. i spent all day simmering a veggie beef stew (used the trader joe’s beefless bulgogi it was perfect btw hot tip), i took a wintery walk around the neighborhood, we lit all the candles in the house as soon as it got dark, wrote intentions on bay leaves and burned them on the back deck, served stew over mashed potato and celery root with lots of butter and scallions mixed in, listened to the new sza, i took a bath and we ended the night having sweet romantic sex and then falling into a deep winter slumber holding each other close.

i am just in constant awe of the love that i get to share with jon he is the most special person i’ve ever met and to know him quite literally is to absolutely adore him

With the holidays here, thought this is worth sharing

This website is still here and some of the asks are heartbreaking. Like “Jamie wants a new pair of jeans because he’s never had new clothes before”. Or “Kayla wants a bag with her name on it for when she moves foster homes again.”

A lot of these kids ask for brand name clothing and it sounds pretentious but having one nice new fashionable piece of clothing means a lot when all your previous clothes have come out of black trash bags from charities.

Btw, you can filter wishes based on gender, age, price, etc to help you find the perfect wish for you. This charity is LGBTQ-affirming (unlike a lot of religion-based charities that are unfortunately homophobic), so you can even look for nonbinary kids to donate to.

Also, I would really encourage people to be open to granting wishes made by older foster kids (14+) or young adults who aged out of the system and still lack family support. They’re so often forgotten.

If you don’t have a lot of money but still want to help give a kid a nice Christmas, there are lots of wishes that are $24 for stocking stuffers as well, or $15 for a sqishmallow!

jon and i found this little sterling ring at a vintage store today that somehow fits my stupidly tiny ring finger perfectly so now i have a proper engagement ring that matches my style AND came from a local business 🥰

i am honestly kind of floored by my part time coworker’s inability to show up for her THREE SHIFTS a week like what the hell is your problem just quit at that point and create a space for someone who will actually come to work to take your place

when she doesn’t come in, i have to do her job (stocking) before i can do my job (buying) and like i know she knows that so like idk i just can’t imagine being that selfish of a person it absolutely blows my mind like…fuck you lmao

[gelfling]
