Of course tumblr decided that the other post 'might need a mature label' because nothing screams mature more than a dragon. Of course.
Beside that - here are the rest of the pictures! I really couldn't decide which I liked the most, so you guys get all of them :D
Hot take:
It's not rainbow capitalism when it's something being handmade by someone who is queer and selling it as a celebration of their queerness or in solidarity with other queer folk.
SUPPORT QUEER ARTISTS!
Went to the Big Ole Queer Market in Austin today and did a hefty amount of supporting, thanks! Hand-woven towels, hand-dyed headband, blind-date-with-a-book, sparkly pins, and a Halloween basket full of vintage children’s clothes — it was a good haul!
I still do not understand the people who say voting doesn’t matter…why else would there be a concerted effort to gerrymander and redistrict and purge voter rolls and create draconian ID laws? (Mostly targeting black voters and majority black districts)
Isn’t it kind of insulting to the people who fight for an actual democracy, to the places in the world without free and fair elections, to the people (particularly black, native, and disabled people) who are regularly purposefully excluded from voting, to just say it doesn’t matter? How the fuck do you view your own inaction as some type of moral high ground? How did we get from “the Democratic Party has major issues in regards to corporate donors and neoliberalism” to “both parties are equally bad”
I am not playing this game with you. It does make a difference who is in power. It does make a difference who draws election maps, who sits on the courts, who decides funding, who enforces laws (and what laws they do or do not enforce).
Well, ladies and gentlemen (and others), allow me to present my favorite blind box bjd series: Little Painter & Little Witch by Penny’s Box
I’ve photographed them more than anyone else in my collection and still can’t get enough 🍂

and would it be too mean if I said that when it comes to discovering new books to read it seems like of people would rather just act willfully helpless and blame tiktok for "ruining literature" instead of putting in a very small amount of effort to find the damn books?
whenever this conversation comes up a lot of people start saying something akin to "just read older books" and while I do agree that humanity has an absolutely staggering backlog of books big enough to keep anyone entertained, it often seems to come with an unspoken implication (or, sometimes, ca very clear statement) that this is necessary because all books published now are Awful and Bad. to which I would like to say, respectfully, Shut The Fuck Up. the books that annoy you are not the sum total of everything being published.
personally I think best results will always come from just wandering around a library or indie bookstore and picking stuff up, but variety is the spice of life so here are some other places where I like to learn about cool new books coming out
BookBrowse is a great resource that includes readalikes, new releases, and the option to filter fiction and nonfiction by genre, subgenres, time period, setting, page count, debut books, and small presses.
Discover books that entertain, engage, and enlighten. Reviews, excerpts, reading guides, reading lists, info for book clubs & more.

over at Paste we've got, you guessed it, reviews, recommendations, and author interviews

like sci-fi, fantasy, and horror? check out Reactor Mag! among other things, they have monthly compilations of all the genre fiction coming out
Reactor’s regular book reviewers talk about notable titles they read in 2025
and for my podcast heads check out The Stacks, where host Traci Thomas is dropping weekly interviews with authors about their new books and the podcasts' monthly book club reads
In the UK, drop by your local independent bookshop and pick up a (free) copy of Booktime magazine - or read it online, here:
The Booksellers Association of the UK and Ireland is a trade body founded to promote retail bookselling in the United Kingdom and Ireland. I
The magazine comes out every other month and covers new releases in the two month period the magazine covers. There are interviews with authors and featured books none of which the publishers themselves have any control or say in; they can’t buy a featured book slot in the magazine. It’s an excellent resource and you can support your local indie at the same time if you have the cash to spare for a book.
ooh, and they post whole issues online! don't mind if I do 👀
Hi! Bookshop.org is having a pride month sale!
I have an affiliate storefront!
I have added their list of discounted Pride Month Books to that storefront!
(Also, my friend @bethany-sensei just released a book called Balances, and I have put it at the top of the list. Go preorder!)
Please buy from them, through me, for both a discount on the books and a wee bit of kickback to me.
Showing off her new dress! (and this background is perfect for her)
Well I was gonna dump a bunch of pics of Mewsette’s various dresses here but atm this is the only one I can find (annoying, since I literally saw all of them yesterday). This one is my favorite, tho, so at least there’s that!
(Also lmao, Mewsette is my tiniest doll and in the background, out of focus, you can see my three largest dolls)
Ok I thought she had one more dress but probably I am thinking of the Kelly dress that I put her in when I first got her, which I actually posted back then in April 2023. These pics are also from 2023.
Side note, I went through and made an album of just doll pictures so that it would be easier to find them when I’m posting them on tumblr and ohhh my god there’s over 400 pics in there. And like the first one is from 2017 so, like, 400+ pics over ~9 years isn’t that many, but I’ve probably only posted like. Less than a tenth of them I’d guess. I’m trying. (That’s why I’ve been posting more than usual the last couple days, I’m trying to make a habit)
my career advice isn't "do what you love" it's "do what will give you the most money without making you want to kill yourself"
yes.
sticky sticky heat Vicky's new faceup
Love that sculpt, and the faceup is fantastic, too!
Love this video, but it’s wrong about cream cheese frosting.
A few quick shots of the opalite cabochons I got from etsy to use as doll eyes, worn by my Bobobie Weylin, Link. (decided to keep that wig, btw) Gettin’ all Fierce Deity up in here!
Kinda glad those 12mm opalite sphere sold out now, or I would never have found these–and they work perfectly! I think the spheres would have been too small, actually.
The calico is Katarina and the sphinx is Mewsette. These photos are from July 2023, I truly just never post anything for some reason. They’re from AridaBJD on Etsy (she has a YouTube account also), Katarina was a custom order (in terms of eyes and markings etc). Couch and clothes made by me, shoes came with them.
I love watching dress up videos. I would love to make some myself, but every time I film one, it looks like I’m having a WWE match with my doll.

Started back at work again. Wish me luck. Still trying to stave off foreclosure. Not doing a great job of it. There's almost no aid in my zip code.
If you can keep passing the hat I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
