War.
To be at war with oneself is not a new concept. To let the new man live, the old one must die. Today, we may couch it in terms like "self-improvement" or "self-actualization" or "manifesting," but it is an ancient term. St Paul himself teaches us that "for Him to increase, I must decrease," he begs for help, saying "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
St Paul recognized that he is in a war, and his opponent is himself. If we wish to truly live, if we wish to serve the Lord Almighty, we must recognize this war.
And we must declare War against Ourselves. Our soul hangs in balance.

I'd like to make a clever comment or evangelize somehow, but, uh, I'm too busy admiring my own hair. Dang, those are some lustrous locks there.

My medieval fair getup!
I did not aim for historical accuracy, just went with general ~*vibes*~. The bags were made the day before the event, smaller one finished at 11pm. ๐ด (You can check my mastodon account if you're interested in the details of the making)
This is the first time I've actually made an outfit specifically for an event, and I had a lot of fun with it! I'm proud to say that everything but the belt is handmade, even though the bags were less than ideal (smaller one didn't fit my phone, bigger one kept folding in on itself). The shoes have me blisters after walking on uneven terrain for five hours, but they were surprisingly good to wear!
There's two more events this summer that I could attend wearing all this, we'll see if I will. ๐
Dress: a combination of a tutorial from (http://elizabethancostume.net/cheminst.html) with armpit gussets added as per instructions from (https://youtu.be/oXr0wIV1tJ4?si=hCvH4YA3bunvpOPW)
Stays: Demeter by De la Fรจre Couture
Big bag: A combination of winging it and tote/backpack hack from (https://mellysews.com/my-perfect-travel-bag/)
Small bag: Technically the Jalo bag by Named, but the pattern was missing so I guessed the dimensions and followed their instructions for assembly.

This Saturday 14th June 2025 I have the choice of watching Trump's birthday party parade on TV or going downtown Lexington, KY for a No Kings peaceful protest.
Therefore Arianna & I plan to visit the Kentucky Renaissance Fair in Eminence, KY instead.

Fantasy Basel is over and I'm slowly recovering at home after this exhausting but wonderful weekend ! I'm happy and a little bit proud to have survived my biggest con ever, first outside of UE, and will come back gladly next year. Now, let's prepare the next one this weekend (luckily I live 3 tram stops from the con center so it will be easier^^).
Btw, would you be interested in a youtube vlog of my little adventure ?

Cool perspective paper on accuracy and inclusivity in the scholarly medieval reenactment community.

So, mostly due to me mixing up my months and not doing enough research beforehand, this weekend was interesting. We ended up going to the @kyrenfair
for the first time and had a very lovely time. As much as I enjoy size and immersion, there's a lot to be said about smaller, friendly and much more relaxed atmospheres. I'd happily go back again in the future.

A Grimes County judge has ordered the owners of the Texas Renaissance Festival to sell its property and assets after siding with a group of prospective buyers who sued after a $60 million deal fell through in 2023.
