Links: Witches, Fashion, & More

[Artemis Gordon]

Hello, everyone! It’s time for Wednesday Links!

By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be on my way home for Orlando. I built a lightsaber at Galaxy’s Edge on Monday and my partner and I ate and drank our way around the world at Epcot on Tuesday. I’m sure there are photos on my instagram account (I’m writing this ahead of time! Hello from the past!).

I also mentioned in a previous podcast that I’m striving to take cheese classes this year to learn more about one of my favorite things. I’ve book my first two classes! January is about red wine and cheese pairings (the Switzerland cheese class I wanted to attend as my first choice was sold out) and well…February’s class is about “weird wine” and cheese pairings. For March, I’m eying a Girl Scout cookie and cheese pairing class.

California folks! Pasadena is getting a new bookstore named after Octavia Butler. Owner Nikki High hopes to open Octavia’s Bookshelf by the end of February.

Have you heard of the Advanced Style Instagram account? The owner catalogs the fashion of older individuals he sees on the street. He also has a TikTok and blog.
