Life is Just a Bowl of Link Dumps
Glamourie – Book of knitting patterns for fanciful clothing. You can see photos of some of the patterns here.
Genderswapped Lord of the Rings – I love these speculative casting choices.
The Other Arachnids – A very cool roundup of non-spider arachnids.
Good Boy Stats – This Twitter thread of D&D monsters and whether or not they’re “good boys” is awesome, but @bryancamp’s comment “They’re all good boys, Mordenkainen.” is what really sent me over the edge.
Hen Wives, Spinsters, and Lolly Willowes – A look at the more domestic Wise Women.
Chicken Scratch – Custom drawings and calligraphy, including props for LARPing.
Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank – A short but amusing Twitter thread.
Mermaid Horror Stories – I can definitely see mermaids gathered around whatever the undersea equivalent of a campfire is, scaring each other with these.
Ashes to Art – Artist Bea Haines paints with human ashes.
Cute Creature – Great response to the writing prompt, “A creature designed to be ‘cute’, created by a god that does not fully understand what ‘cute’ looks like to humans.”

I’m here for Geena Davis in a beard. AND Ewan McGregor yelling “I AM NO WOMAN!!”

A podcast I listen to regularly had a discussion of what the difference between a “hag” and a “crone” was (and how that difference depended on your proximity to the broader queer community). I’d like them to take on “henwives”, &c.

Vaguely threatening gift card or supportive message? You decide.

Random paintings are cool, but I’m still turning DH into a diamond to wear around my neck and introduce to future suitors.
