Jenny D. Wren

Lots of reblogs about witchblr, disability, LGBTQIA+ and nerdy stuff, with my own content too! NB (she/her or they/them), physical stuff and PTSD, Tarot reader, poet, book fiend, side-hustling retail slave and editor dreaming of finding a job that pays survival wages. (patreon.com/JennyWren - glad you asked.) MAPs and fash are invited to fuck all the way off. Header photo not mine. Trying to source original photographer so I can credit as I'm passionate about crediting artists. It -is- dedicated to someone I gave three free readings to, on the topic of their love life, until the above -all but- literally happened. Three days later their Facebook showed "in a relationship." Ah well, such is life.

Wow, Sindar erasure much?

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Wonky 3 cube houses in Helmond, Netherlands, 1bd, 1.5ba, approx. 840sqft, $338k approx. USD + $234/mo. maintenance.

I thought it was the whole house, but it's 3 separate units.

It's so angular, isn't it? I think it would take me a while to get used to it.

The kitchen is on the other side of the stairs.

Look at that window. It looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.

Very nice cabinetry.

Here's a little corner and it must be cozy-warm with the 2 radiators.

The half bath.

On the next level there's the living room.

Then here, they have a home office.

The full bath is a shower room.

Here, there's a closet, then a small platform, and a ladder to the bedroom. There's more storage underneath.

Look at the triangular opening.

So, the bedroom is at the top of the home. I like the way they angled the clothing racks. Very convenient, too.

This is interesting- looking down the ladder, you can look straight out that window.

There's a lovely park nearby.

I feel like a mobility-disabled human being would literally have a better chance of being functional in a tree than in this shit. So many images flash through my head: elderly dachshunds rolling a 1 and tumbling down the bedroom ladder to their doom.

This game, about listing as many animals as you can, is shockingly well-considered and polished for such an apparent shitpost of a game idea

hot new brain workout

I got scared and started listing colors and objects

I dont see enough advice for beginners in the vulture culture tag, so I figured id share some links and resources ive found in my past few years of experience and research

quick disclaimer: this will be more focused on bone cleaning and wet specimens because those are my areas of interest and therefore what I feel the most comfortable giving advice on

if you specialize in pelts or taxidermy feel free to add on your advice or resources!

the migratory birds treaty - a must read if you're in north america

birds that are exempt

places for tips/advice:

mickeyalicekwapis.com - has great blog posts from a professional taxidermist. covers everything from basic advice to ethics to advice on starting your own business

taxidermy.net - the og forum for taxidermy and bone cleaning advice. ive found questions answered here that I havent been able to find answered anywhere else on the internet. the members of this forum are like the old gods of vulture culture

r/vultureculture, r/taxidermy, r/bonecollecting, and r/wetspecimens - the reddit community can be kind of toxic but ive found some great advice and friendly people here. you also dont need an account to browse which is a plus

I also recommend @earthenremains' pinned post for some great articles and info on laws. in general dont be afraid to ask myself or someone else in the vulture culture community if you have more questions or need advice! most people will be happy to help if they can

guides:

wet preservation:

taxidermy/pelts:

general:

buyers guide by @blackbackedjackal

buyers/sellers guide by @earthenremains

places to buy bones, taxidermy, wet specimens, and vulture culture art:

skullstore.ca - can be pricey if you're outside Canada or the USA but these guys are extremely reputable and have a pretty insane range of oddities

darlingdeadadorments.com - some of the most beautiful jewellery and pre-made displays ive ever seen

pacificremains - bone cleaning services, etsy - super experienced and they have some really cool wet specimens on their etsy page

animalautopsy - super cool bone jewellery

demon kitty designs - makes some incredibly cool curio necklaces with insect wings, bones, shells, and other trinkets

places where you can acquire dead animals:

local parks, roadkill, woods and rivers - look in undisturbed places, on the sides of busy roads (remember to be careful of passing cars), underneath powerlines and near bodies of water

pet stores - from what I've heard chains will be more reluctant to give/sell to you than smaller businesses, but it never hurts to ask as long as you're professional and respectful

breeders, especially breeders of feeder animals like mice and rats

other places to get bones and taxidermy:

• estate sales - heres a handy guide I found on mickeyalicekwapis.com

• thrift stores, oddity shops, and antique stores

feel free to add tips or advertise your small business!

Hey there, Minnesotan here.

Are you outside of Minnesota, but want to know what’s going on with the ICE occupation? Check out:

On Site a local independent news organization covering accurate news here.

Toussaint Morrison, who writes for On Site but has a lot of good coverage

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist covering what’s happening on the ground

And of course, the videos being posted directly to social media from people on the ground.

National news is not covering everything that’s happening here. (Almost like that’s on purpose.) But these are helpful, local sources to Minnesota to provide an accurate depiction of what’s really happening here.

Are you outside of Minnesota and looking to help?

Donate to the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee

MN ICE Watch not only sends updates about federal activity, but also highlights individuals affected where you can donate or send help to our neighbors impacted by ICE.

These links go to those sources’ Instagram profiles. And I will edit this post with more, it’ll remain a living document.

A final note: You may have seen posts on social media about what it’s like here. Believe them. It is that bad. It is that scary. They are kicking doors down. They are demanding to see identity papers if you’re simply walking on the street.

My sister is a teacher, and they were driving around her school yesterday. A middle school.

They are offering people money to out undocumented immigrants or protest organizers. That link is a firsthand account of someone who was detained, and asked those very questions.

They are taking our neighbors.

This is an occupation.

I don’t have a lot of followers, so hoping the tags can help spread this far and wide.

One day I will make a scarf in gay male pride flag colours

And it will have some kind of panelled element or attached border (a tablet-woven band, perhaps)

Because the real purpose of the scarf is as an opportunity to join pieces using knotted insertion stitch
