CW: Attempted sexual assault Two things happened last summer. I kissed April, and I got bitten by a werewolf. I It started at a party. I was never invited to the cool kid’s parties, why would I be? But Giselle and I had been planning to crash, and even though her family had moved to another state, she texted me that night, telling me I should still go and tell her all about it. I went through my older sister Evie’s wardrobe, what she’d left behind when she went to college. She had been the cool one, the one who got invited to parties and fitted in. I found a trendy flowy dress, with the tag still attached. I was pretty sure she had shoplifted it, Evie could never resist a five finger discount.

Said I was a murderer!” This was only the last in a long line of insults that included treating his yard as if it was her own (“foraging”, she claimed) and laughing at him that time he split his trousers in town. “Ah, everyone is really into conservation around these parts”,...

My friend Yasmin (who ran the tea duel back in 2020) and I roadtripped down for the Steampunk Victoriana fair on 12th to 13th March at the Goulbourn Waterworks. Because it was such a long trip we only got about 1.5 hrs in the first day, but we got to experience the whole day Sunday. It was amazing for me to be at a Steampunk event again after 2 years! Hopefully there will be lots more!
