The Story of Blue

Mature Monday #2: It’s all about the bone

Since last week’s Mature Monday was all about the woman bits, I decided that it’s only fair to celebrate the oddity of the male bone this time. And by bone I really mean bone, the baculum to be precise. I once again headed back to Etsy to find some of […]

Life, Art, Etc…

In which I cover health, the state of me, art projects, and places to make art. I keep meaning to get back to nice, logical, progressive posts about my Arts and Sciences entries, but I’ve been finding myself low on spoons a lot lately. About ten weeks ago I got […]

Palouse Falls

I finally got a chance to start going through some of the photos I took while traveling to and from Miscon, and decided to share the ones of Palouse Falls in eastern Washington first. The falls are breathtaking, showing a classing PNW array of colorful lichens, but in a canyon […]

Slav Temple Rings

This weekend I got to wear my new slav temple rings for the first time! They are pretty much the best birthday gift ever, they were made for me by my dad, Morgan Hall. While he’s not going to be making these for sale, it is possible that he may […]
