We’ve confirmed the scary shit we’ve been hearing is a bobcat which is scary but also great because I thought I’d fucked up a spell and summoned something

The nocturnal wildlife has been getting scary lately. Last night there was the tomcat fighting god knows what. Tonight my husband took the dog out and I heard what sounded almost like a human shriek but more like something pretending to be human. They came inside a few minutes later and my husband said he heard it too, and that he saw eyes reflected in his flashlight in the woods across the street.

I was starting to think the puppy would be hard to train but it turns out he’s smart, just an asshole. Because any other time I tell him it’s time to go inside he ignores me, but tonight when we go out and can hear the neighborhood tomcat fighting with some terror of the night out in the woods and I tell him it’s time to go inside he runs right in with me.

I'm running out of ways to explain to people that there is inherent value in things created by human minds and hands that will simply never exist in things created by machines

A sad fact about being a bi woman married to a man (who also happens to be bi in this case) is that there are always people who will say we're not "queer enough." But recently my husband came out as agender and we both celebrated not just for his coming out but also because it means we now have a secret weapon to throw at people when they say shit like that.

Pride story time. When I was 14 I was dating a girl I considered to be my first love. On the last day of freshmen year of high school I learned she was cheating on me. I was absolutely devastated. I felt betrayed. I needed comfort. But to get it from my mom, I'd have to come out to her. My mom thought this girl was just my best friend, she had no idea our relationship was anything more than gals being pals. When she came home from work I called her to my room. I was sobbing, my body was trembling, my voice was shaking. I told her everything.

"Are you some kind of lesbian then?" She asked. Her tone wasn't that of a mother who found out her daughter had been cheated on, but rather more like you'd told her the dog shat on the rug again. "No, I'm bi." I told her. She softened. "Oh honey. No you're not." "I'm not?" I asked. "No, you just really love your friends and you're confused about what that means." She left it at that and I told myself I was never going through that again. I was a teenager. By my age she'd already been pregnant once. How could she say I didn't know my own feelings?

So I went back into the closet and there I stayed for over a decade. Never mind the way I felt when I watched Tessa Thompson wielding a sword as Valkyrie, or how my childhood feelings toward Megara and Esmeralda felt oddly similar to my feelings toward Aladdin.

It wouldn't be until I was nearly 30, happily engaged to my now-husband who was very open about his own bisexuality that I started to gain the confidence to come out again. It was like a breath of fresh air. I'm proud to be a part of this community and I am fiercely protective of it.

But I won't come out to my family. Not again. One day they're realize it when they read one of my books or find me on the internet and they'll ask why I never told them. And I'll remind them that I did, once upon a time, and that I shouldn't have to repeat myself.

Shout-out to my fellow witches with non-aesthetic books of shadows that have no sense of organization or decoration, just spells and blessings and curses and notes jotted down as they come to you with the hopes that you'll be able to find them when you need them.
