“Hot girl summer” is cancelled. This year we’re doing *hag* girl summer. We’re holidaying in a swamp; we are hiding in the woods inside a hut with chicken legs; we will have no “beach body” but rather a *bog body* covered in moss and mushrooms.

You don’t have to get married. You can also retire alone to a cosy cottage on the English seaside, take long morning walks on the beach, and fall in love with the ghost of a sea captain while transcribing his ribald memoir.

You should only worry about a “beach body” if you are a Belgian detective with a fine moustache whose summer holiday in Devon has been interrupted by a grisly murder.

It is important that you teach your daughters that they are allowed to express anger, to have ambitions, to defy gender roles, to slay the witch-king of Angmar.

Hate it when I order food delivery and it doesn’t get delivered by a young witch flying on a broomstick with a black cat in tow.

One of the hardest decisions in a woman’s life is whether she wants to spend her final years in a wooden hut with chicken legs, solving murders in the English countryside, or running a haunted Japanese bathhouse.

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

I have just published a new blog post on why I think spring is the most Gothic of seasons. Link in the picture and in bio. 😊

Last week I went to London with my fiancé, and as I wandered around Richmond I kept thinking that spring is, in my opinion, the most Gothic of seasons. I just wrote a blog post about this. Link in bio. 😊
