I write fiction about violence, evil, love, and grace. Disabled. Autistic. Comically awkward history nerd and mother hen. #PWHL fan -- allez, Victoire! She/her. Canadian. Let's be excellent to one another.

The receptacles into which Mrs Spry puts her flowers are equally varied: a wooden bowl, a silver sauce-boat, a tin-lined bible-box, and something which she calls a pancheon. #gardening www.countrylife.co.uk/luxury/art-a...

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth.
