Bog Witch

Did you know outdoor festivals and events still have to have handicapped parking? Because I just had to complain to the Georgia Disability Services office about one.

Any #LongCovid people out there that have a bad reaction to the Covid shot? If I get the shot I get a few weeks of symptom flare ups, it's really bad. But of course if I don't get it I risk getting Covid again. Luckily we don't get sick much (I'm home most of the time and the kids are homeschooled).

Squirtle says hello. He would like to be taken out of his terrarium.

There are better ways to support our communities than ABA. Learn more in our resource, “Beyond Coercion and Institutionalization: People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and the Need for Improved Behavior Support Services”: autisticadvocacy.org/2024/05/beyo...

Box turtle. I had to move him just a little bit so the dogs wouldn't bug him

Guys if I move to Vermont do I change my Bluesky user name or keep it since I will probably still have a Southern accent for awhile?

This little guy was very polite and posed for a picture.

The Trump administration released another executive order targeting the autistic community and spreading vaccine misinformation. While the government spends time on fake science that's been disproven, autistic people are waiting for the support we actually need. autisticadvocacy.org/2026/08/asan...

I rarely post links that have anything to do with my work, but I am going to go ahead and make an exception. Guidance for how to protect health: www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/safety...

Oh we're doing more Nazi shit I see. www.npr.org/2026/06/20/n...

Today, June 18th, is Autistic Pride Day. Happy Autistic Pride Day from all of us at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network! Nothing about us, without us!

Many autistic people have been hurt by ABA, and evidence of its benefits are limited, but states still spend billions on it. In @nytopinion.nytimes.com, ASAN’s ED Colin Killick argues that as states rein in ABA, they must expand access to supports that help us. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/o...

I love how with every headline about Anthropic they seem more and more horrified by their own creation: www.cnn.com/2026/06/05/b...

So glad to be moving out of the South: apnews.com/article/sout...

The Regime Got Caught Hiding Proof That Vaccines Are Safe—And That’s Not Even The Best Story Today #TrumpsGasProblem

I've named him D'Artagnan.

Two of the tadpoles are officially frogs!

The tadpoles are now froglets, one of them has figured out how to climb the walls.

Not Ethel, but different toad in the yard today

Tiny frog legs!

Tadpole check, they have teeeeeeny legs.

Five lined skinks.

Tadpole check.

OK i was empty out a mini pond and didn't realize there were tadpoles so I save the ones I could and they have an aquarium now and I'm boiling lettuce for them.

Frog!!!

I finally finished reading "Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft". It is very well done and thoroughly researched (unlike a lot of texts on Wicca, IYKYK). And of course, the footnotes created a whole other list of things to read. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I watched all of Jekyll and Hyde on Netflix, it was fun and campy and I wish it had a second season because it leaves on a cliffhanger. And @timdownie.bsky.social appeared, as the local historian of course.

Is it bad that my first thought was "Thank fucking God"? Leviathan/Cthulu 2028. Posts claim images show Leviathan 'waking up.' We found the real story lurking underneath www.snopes.com/fact-check/l...

Hey y'all, I sent a bunch of clothes to sell on Thread Up, all the cute stuff that doesn't fit me anymore since long covid messed me up! www.thredup.com/product/2146...

Listen, I never thought I'd agree with Rand Paul on anything but at least he hasn't completely misplaced his balls: www.cbsnews.com/news/rand-pa...

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Well it's unseasonably warm here for Christmas but at least that means a rare December visit from Ethel

Anyone who promotes this treatment, especially for autistic kids, should be in jail. They are actively harming children, many of whom are non-verbal and can not speak up for themselves. www.propublica.org/article/ron-...

Frog! There were two of them out there yesterday.

I have an official diagnosis of fibromyalgia, over 4 years after I first had long covid and my health spiraled. Anyone who didn't stay home when they knew they had Covid can, respectfully, rot in hell.

Went to a D&D themed event at the GA renaissance festival last night. It was fun but I didn't realize it was going to be all outside so I was cold. Once again, I left my cane in the car and that was a mistake!

Both magically stop being camera shy for lettuce and shrimps.

Guys, I'm going somewhere overnight with my husband without the kids, for the second time since we had kids (so like, 13 years). I won't even know what to do with myself.

I finished the Outer Worlds 2. I liked it a lot, might replay it, but I can't forgive @obsidian.net for giving us Tristan as a companion but no romance option. I can fix him!
