Happy Birthday to my August-born readers! You’re another lucky month with three different birthstones — Peridot, Spinel, and Sardonyx — but Peridot is by far the most popular, so let’s begin with the adorable peridot-colored August Dragon w/ Bow by American artist and crafter Amaze-ing Hats. The artist writes, “The little girl who this dragon is for has…
I was trying to decide what to make my ‘short’ post about this week when my awesome page-a-day calendar from Atlas Obscura came to my rescue! I’ll let Atlas Obscura contributor S.A. Zollinger, pen name pieofthemonth, tell you more (in the block text), while I add a few things from my own searching, including the photo above from the…
Sorry I’m still behind, but this post was more detailed than I thought! So, even though I wasn’t thinking about blogging much while on holiday, the day we went to Cardiff Castle in Wales, U.K., I decided to play a game with our tour group — find the dragons! And then I photographed our adventure.…
I’m a bit late, but my vacation was totally worth it so I hope you’ll forgive me! I’m going to keep this short and instead of sharing a quote on writing this month, I’ll share a poem I wrote about a magical experience I had while in the British Isles. Enjoy! We sailed across the…
Cheerio everyone! I started my vacation last week, travelling around the United Kingdom with my husband and some friends on a wonderful Trafalgar tour, so I’ve been really short on writing time, sorry for the late post! But as the coach takes us up through the Yorkshire moors on our way to Glasgow this morning, I’m…
Happy Birthday to my July-born readers! It’s really summertime now (it’s 100 degrees right now in Minneapolis!), so the firey red gem for this month’s birthstone is quite appropriate! Up first is this beautifully colored piece called Ruby by Canadian deviantartist koyamori. She has an amazing deviantart gallery, but she doesn’t post there anymore — now you…
Happy Fourth of July to my American readers, and to everyone else, please enjoy these fireworks for your own celebrations, or just for no reason at all! This is Baby You’re a Firework by U.K. deviantartist Laura, posting as Twime777. Featuring Latias, a Dragon/Psychic Pokemon from Gen 3 and a fairly recent raid boss in Pokemon…
The notion of a ‘gay literature’ is a product of precisely these discourses of power. It was invented to cement the idea that real literature is straight. In this scenario, gay literature is a niche product that only those directly affected need to bother about. – Robert Gillett, co-editor of Queer in Europe: Contemporary Case Studies…
It’s officially summer, and officially Pride Weekend here in the Twin Cities, so of course I have share the amazing artwork of American professional artist Katy Lipscomb, posting as Lucky978. I last shared her for Pride 2016, so go see those, and today we’re starting off with one of her latest creations, this Rainbow Dragon,…
Happy Birthday to all my readers born in June! This month we’re starting out with a cross-stitched pattern called Dragon Birthstone SAL – June/Alexandrite by American artist and crafter Gayle Tominaga, posting as jijikit, and created from a 2017 Mystery “Stitch-a-Long” pattern by Brittany Church of InglesideImaginarium. Doesn’t he look so happy? You can find more of Gayle’s art…
