She/her. Queer and chronically ill. Loves animals and plants. I self-published some proto-cozy/sweetweird fantasy stories a decade ago, and am (slowly) working on a softer remake of that world. heidicvlach.neocities.org

Gender isn’t binary, neither is sex. There are so many possibilities of what we might become, whether those possibilities are realized or not. And those trails that open from where we are in the moment? They will always defy the neat boxes we invent.

Creatures of Possibility - Atmosatmos.earth My transition was a crash course in biology, writes Riley Black. It made me think harder about the boundaries we create and uphold.

If you feel a problem is too big, that you cannot make a huge difference, make what difference you can. It is better to do something small than to do nothing at all.

accidentally inhaled my air guitar again

There are probably monarch chrysalids in the garden, I kept telling myself. They're just well camofluaged. They're probably like, right in front of me. Well, today I finally spotted this one as a freshly emerged butterfly, inches away from where I dump water buckets on the plants every day 😂🙌🎉

My coneflowers and smooth oxeye are in full bloom right now, so this was a fun flower arrangement to make. ☀️🌱🦋💐

Happy #InternationalCaterpillarDay to all who celebrate. Post your caterpillars. (My butterfly garden is gradually growing, but milkweed for the monarchs started it all. 💜)

Furries was the community that saved my life. They make up the most accepting, kind, patient people and they are major patrons of art. My art skill is directly tied to the hundred of furries that commissioned me when I sucked. They helped pay my bills. I didn’t even consider myself one.

I just found out Dragoneer died recently :( For those not in the furry fandom he was foundational in creating the largest furry website that brought the fandom together for several decades. It was where I got started as a professional artist, where I made my closest friends, where I found worth.RIP

Was the movie The Flight of Dragons a formative experience in anyone else’s childhood? The scene where the wizards flew in on their regionally different dragons, and the scene with the dragon flock absolutely activated previously untapped parts of my brain as a child. (1/2) #smaugust #Dragons

The lantern-lighter hasn't been so busy in centuries, marching to light all the sconces for those taking shelter in the Down-time. "Hey--" We stop them gently, taking in their sooty face and singed fingers. "You get to rest, too." Each person passes a candle on, lighting paths together as they go.

We all know better than to try to get work done during a heat wave. From the relative cool of our basements we navigate disused underground passageways to meet up with old friends or make new acquaintances. Who do you run into during this city-wide downtime? #TinyTalesTuesday #WritingPrompt

Just came across this on Mastodon and thought I'd share it for anyone wondering if adding image alt text is "worth it." ChanceyFleet: "As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos... all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience."
