Written and sung by Lilith for inner children.
Stephanie talks about appreciation for the older members of our DID system, grounding, a flock of ravens, corvid recognition, and making YouTube Shorts.
A really good day filled with organizing our room, maple-scented everything, processing emotions, paper dolls, librarians, creative people, and supporting art.
Also, box fans, fae, taking the pressure off ourselves, the gimmick of switches caught on camera, and keeping older system members on their toes as a rite of passage.

Rogue talks about trigger warnings, migraines, life on the other side of pain, rain, and being present. Running shoes, compromising with littles, spooky season, community, and finding home everywhere.
Pumpkin carving, grumpy pumpkins, Halloween storytime, killjoys, and COVID Halloween. Finding ways to participate in the world when the usual routes aren’t available, embracing the cringeworthy, doing our own thing, and doing the thing.
