This Bird Acts Like a Living Thermometer

My wife and I saw these Ukrainian eggs in Goldwin Smith Hall heading back from Dragon Day -- still processing more event photos from this weekend!

I’m back in a coffee phase… Weekly Recap 3/30/2026

This has been a very tired year so far. I’ve shifted back to drinking coffee.

In fact, the first hour of each day requires coffee. And often the 10th hour. And sometimes even the 12th hour.

Other than that, I just open up my laptop and write. Like what I’m doing right now.

Good morning and happy Monday, friends.

• New M3 Episode: Kirk White, Golden Dawn Healing, and Pagan Politics

My book, Fluid Condensers: Unlocking the Mysteries of Gold, Alchemy, and Magick has started to ship!

If you don’t smell books, then what are you even doing with your life? Thank you to my wife for capturing these early moments of my reaction to my first published work.

We celebrated Spring Equinox on Friday night. About a week late from the official time of the astronomical equinox, but it’s what was most convenient for everyone.

Had some beautiful flowers on the altar.

Before the ritual started, we tried dyeing some eggs using a variety of natural things… turmeric, elderberry, roselle, cabbage, even leafy herbs.

And then we used those eggs for some spellwork during the ritual. I have a really cool photo of all our eggs sitting beneath burning candles, but I think I’m gonna just save that one for me.

I was really hoping for a happy pink color… or maybe something in a light, pastel purple. I guess it turned out more of a… brown. Oh well. It was still a lot of fun.

In other book-related news, I submitted my next manuscript, which is all about runes. I have no idea what happens now other than I wait. So I’m waiting. But you don’t have to wait… you can catch one of my rune workshops later this year at Summer Magick Fest or StaarCon.

Now that the books are done, I’ve had a little more time to dedicate to other things. I finished up the start of my next M3 season and posted it on Friday. The first episode features Kirk White. Go give it a watch!

I also spent a significant amount of time revamping the video thumbnails, which I haven’t done since I started the show a few years ago. Here’s a comparison of what new thumbnails will look like vs the older seasons. What do you think?

For munchies, we grabbed some sushi.

And on our journey, we also saw the Easter bunny. He was terrifying.

I’ll have a new early release episode out on Patreon soon.

And I think that’s about all there is to report from this past week. Stay tuned for more soon!

In non-puppy related news, I’ve just cooked three hard boiled eggs in the #airfryer. No water involved so I don’t know what to call them now really.

Seriously contemplating getting rid of my oven and hob at the moment, and discovering I can do boiled #eggs in the air fryer is another tick in the ‘get rid’ column.

170°C for 12 minutes on air fry, in case you’re interested. Literally put the eggs on the grill plate in the bottom of the basket. No water. (8 mins for soft boiled)

Thought I’d wade into the “foods with names that don’t represent what they are so people get confused and buy them thinking they’re buying something else” debate.

You know the one: oat “milk”, vegan “cheese”, “no death burger” etc.

Personally, I’ve had enough of Easter “eggs”. They aren’t eggs. Clearly, they’re chocolate with other stuff added. Until birds, reptiles whatever can start laying chocolate eggs, this madness needs to stop.

I mean, some of these things may contain some egg, but if it can’t be boiled or poached in water, fried in oil or used to make an omelette, then manufacturers must be told to stop calling them eggs.
