Can't but think of a line from Leslie Fish's 'Advice to Would-Be Heroes' the last few weeks, it goes like this:
Ah, but sleep when you can - it is better than bread -
And on night-watch no rest you will find.
(The rest of the song is also annoyingly relevant right now)

Selfie of a person who is standing in front of herb and ritual supplies storage; wearing a hoodie with English witch woodblock art on it surrounded by the words "Grumpy Old Crone" and "Unashamedly Opinionated"
Got a lil something fun in the mail. If you are interested in opinionated #WitchyShit, go check out Grumpy Old Crone. Great YouTube and other socials. You might get a side order of #Filk and #TTRPG too. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
I am contemplating the viability of actually attending FKO this year, but it will _definitely_ not be possible if I have to cover a full hotel bill. Do I know anyone currently planning to go that would be interested is splitting room costs with me?

A bald man in a long sleeve shirt and brocade vest is seated on a stage with very blue lighting, playing a guitar and wearing a heads up microphone
A man in dark pants and a sweater sings and plays the guitar he is holding while standing on a stage lit by very blue lights
A man in very dark pants and a heavy sweater plays fiddle on a stage with a guitar on a stand behind him. Everything is very blue-toned due to the stage lighting.
A man in a bandana and flannel shirt is seated behind a stand with keyboard and synthesizer playing the instruments. Everything is very blue toned due to the dim stage lighting
Music and magic ended my week (Fri&Sat;) 💙🎶💙
Got to see Gareth Davis, Alexander James Adams, Meadowgoat, and Synthiak, make new friends, and promote Norwescon and woho/PWHL Friday night 😊 And yesterday ended with the surprise finding of a 'missing' movie […]

Spinasaurus mirabilis! Now I want to hear "Graviportal Polka" #filk (h/t Seanan McGuire for the link)
🎵 For we will be wicked and we will be fair
And they'll call us such names, and we really won't care,
So go, tell your Wendys, your Susans, your Janes,
There's a place they can go if they're tired of chains,
And our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost,
But we'll walk on them willingly […]

"...The filk community exists at non-commercial, fan-run cons, and...filkers really don’t promote themselves beyond the community. Filkers deeply value making music together in small groups more than they value winning large audiences and selling product." #filk #fandom
