Blazed Post Catalogue

Some photos of my orange boy, Timatourou (Tima for short), who I had to say a heartbreaking goodbye to this week. We had seven years together and I absolutely loved him to bits. The first cat I ever owned. I got him 3 weeks after moving to the city I live in now. Top left is the day I brought him home, he loved and trusted me immediately. Bottom right is one of my last photos of him, sat on top of me, purring for forehead skritches.

i finally went solo and made a shopify store. it's been a really bad year with my dad going in and out of hospital and struggling with his memory; money problems and housing issues; depression and burnout; my writing career ending... i'm hoping this can be a good thing. child of cain (from the boygenius song - "i'm gnashing my teeth, like a child of cain") is full of all my favourite art and designs i've made. it's print on demand so nothing is wasted or produced unnecessarily. i'm autistic, and have made sure that the t-shirts are sensory-nice and have rip away tags. i'd really love it if you could check it out. i've just spent several hours fighting with the shipping costs - i think because it's POD the t-shirts are just going to have to be cheaper to the uk and the badges cheaper to the us. we do what we can with what we have.

Please welcome my next project, the Plush Bat Bag!! It’s a bat shaped fanny pack made with soft minky fur with a squeaker in the nose, so you can boop the snoot and it SQUEAKS! Also introducing a soft chenille moon shirt with an embroidered bat and heart, a set of pastel mini pins, and a matching glitter epoxy charm to attach to your bat. Check it out here!

I don’t think life should be romanticised. To do that feels like gaslighting yourself into believing it’s better than it is. And life isn’t supposed to be that great. Most of the time, it’s hard, unkind, relentless. It grinds you down. But every so often, there are moments—brief, fragile glimpses—that make it worth holding on. They’re rarely flashy or cinematic. More often they’re quiet. Small. Mundane. The kind of moments you almost overlook until they’re gone.

The truth is, life is mundane, and then it ends. And that’s okay.

The trick is to appreciate the rest—the fleeting things, the subtle things, especially the parts that make you you. Stop searching for answers from people who have no idea what it’s like to carry your pain. They don’t know what it feels like to look in the mirror and see something you’ve convinced yourself no one else could ever love—a body that has never been touched with tenderness, a shape that feels like a cage instead of a home.

But here’s the thing: when you least expect it, someone will see you.

Someone who, in every other universe, might never have glanced your way will find themselves drawn to you. Not for the way you look, but for the way your soul feels in their presence. For the way your mind moves, for the strange little quirks that make you who you are.

Looks fade. Bodies sag, wrinkle, and bend under the weight of years. But your soul? Your soul is what makes you unforgettable. What makes you beautiful in ways time can’t touch. 

So wrap your soul in your own being. Protect it. Love it. Carry it as if it’s the rarest thing in the world—because it is. 

This captivating piece is an acrylic painting meticulously crafted on a polished wooden canvas, a testament to the wood artistry of Pierangelo Tosi. The artwork, skillfully brought to life by painter Laura Gail Sweeney, serves as a heartfelt tribute to her illustrious ancestor, Ambrose Lupo. A revered violinist in the court of King Henry the Eighth, Lupo was celebrated for his enchanting melodies that resonated through the grand halls of royalty. His compositions were not merely notes on a page but emotional narratives that transported listeners to a realm of beauty and grace. Renowned for his exceptional violin skills, Lupo also dedicated himself to nurturing the musical talents of his gifted progeny, ensuring that the legacy of his artistry would echo through generations.
