The Mystic and the Missing Girl by Vikki VanSickle
This is a small-town cozy mystery with a paranormal twist.
When Drew Benson inherited her aunt’s new age shop, she didn’t expect to get pulled into a twenty-year-old mystery.
Drew’s aunt Hannah had psychic abilities and when a local girl disappeared, Hannah tried to help the police. She gave the police three words that she felt were connected to the missing girl. The words were Lake, Saint, and Geranium. The police were never able to connect the dots. Eventually the search was called off, and the girl was never found. Hannah became known as a fraud.
Now that Drew has moved into her apartment above the shop, she has found that she enjoys owning the business but so far, she isn’t able to make it work. The customers have never come back.
Drew is considering selling, like her mother thinks she should until someone from high school who has gone on to become a journalist for a large newspaper shows up. He intends to write a twentieth anniversary story about the missing girl.
Drew hasn’t told anyone that she too has psychic abilities. She can hold objects and get a vision. She does so for the journalist and he convinces her that she could help him investigate the cold case. He believes they can get the story and clear her aunt’s name.
While digging through her aunt’s notes from the investigation, she discovers that her aunt didn’t share all the information with the police. There was a fourth word, Drew. Somehow Drew has a connection with the missing girl and knowing that makes it easier for her to be the catalyst to solving the mystery.
This is a beautifully written story that pulled me in and I thoroughly enjoyed the wild ride. I think this will be one of my favorite books for the year.

It’s a dark and stormy night as I write this review. We had 70 mph bursts of wind going through earlier and rain that is causing flash flooding in some areas. As I write, I can see the rain pattering on the windows and hear the low rumble of thunder in the distance. It’s supposed to do this most of the night.

"It's no secret that Massachusetts suffers from an abundance of red tape, outdated laws, and obsolete regulations. One law still on the books requires at least three bells to be attached to horses drawing sleighs or sleds.
So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that even fortune telling is a licensed job in the Bay State, right along with barbering, teaching, and nursing."

#FediCoven 2026 Q1 - For those who have a form of divination in their practice, does this indicate to you that the universe is predestined/deterministic?
Nnnno.
I believe in a potentially infinite universe of possibilities, so tbh I view divination as seeing possible paths / outcomes, some more probable than others. Divination is more like... seeing what will prob happen if u let stuffs continue as they are.
I think that mostly, ppl do passive divination. "What will happen with the stuffs" and they accept. Active divination more intervention-ish? Like, u do it to try to shift things.
And yesh, I think u can.
So, I'm a little bit of a precog. I can't control it and I don't even always know that I'm doing it, but I've had ppl ( @VulpineDruid ) catch it BC she was super confused wtf I was talking abt... until it happened.
The weirdly is that by pointing it out, the original conversation we had about the thing that hadn't happened, didn't happen, but the thing did. So tho the "future" was our conversation, and the event, we changed the future by not having the convo as part of it.
So... no predestiny!

#introduction time!
Hi, I'm Bea. I seem to be leading a highly squiggly life that's led me through a wild range of experiences, has, at this point been going on for Some Time, and fortunately shows no signs of stopping yet.
Currently, amongst other things, I'm a #coder, a #boater, a #music obsessive, and a #cat mama, plus I #parent a non-zero irrational number of other humans of various ages in this, my sandwich era.
I've also been a #soundEngineer, a #teacher, a professional #psychic, a #theatre technician, and so on. I'm a #Londoner, a lapsed #Glaswegian and a recovering #NewYorker.
I'd list more specifics, but honestly they change all the time; two of the rare constants in my life are #singing and #bass, though I'm increasingly surrounded by a constellation of strange instruments; physical and digital, musical and nautical.
I'm also a #vegan (for the animals) #trans shapeshifter practising #nonMonogamy, and am gay for girls of most genders and apparently now the occasional boy. If this feels like rubbing it in your face, feel free to move your face.
I have an overdeveloped sense of justice, but only compared to your average late capitalist human, and the kind of highly spicy brain you'd expect from, uh, well, all of the above.
I'm afraid things are likely only going to get weirder from here.
No TERFs, no SWERFs, no cops, no Tories (or any other forms of fascism).
Warning! contains multitudes!

CW: Psychiv TV - Stolen Kisses
Psychiv TV - Stolen Kisses
"Stolen Kisses" stammt aus dem Jahr 1982 und gehört zum ersten Album von Psychic TV mit dem Titel "Force the Hand of Chance". Die Band wurde von Genesis P-Orridge gegründet, der zuvor bei der bekannten Experimentalband Throbbing Gristle gespielt hatte.
Das Besondere an dem Lied ist, dass es so ganz anders klingt, als man es von dieser Gruppe erwarten würde. Statt sperriger und düsterer Klänge ist "Stolen Kisses" ein ruhiges, fast zärtliches Stück mit weichen Melodien und sanfter Begleitung. Es wirkt wie ein altmodisches Liebeslied und zählt zu den eingängigsten und überraschendsten Aufnahmen der Band.
Bei den Gesangsparts wirkte auch Marc Almond mit, der Sänger von Soft Cell.
Eckdaten
Titel: Stolen Kisses
Interpret: Psychic TV

#Scotiand 🏴 owns a huge debt to #PeterMurrell & #NicolaSturgeon.
If it wasn't for the #SNP couple's legal drama, the world might be unaware that so many #Scots are #psychic.
Facebook & Twitter overflow with insights of remarkable Scots, mostly men. Challenged by spelling & grammar, they nonetheless have perfect x-ray insight into the marital communications of people they have not met
Thankfully, the psychics share their insights, so we don't miss out on anything. 😉

BlueSky’s Solution To Moderating Is Moderating Without Moderating via Social Proximity
I have noticed a lot of people are confused about why some posts don’t show up on threads, though they are not labeled by the moderation layer. Bluesky has begun using what it calls social neighborhoods (or network proximity) as a ranking signal for replies in threads. Replies from people who are closer to you in the social graph, accounts you follow, interact with, or share mutual connections with, are prioritized and shown more prominently. Replies from accounts that are farther away in that network are down-ranked. They are pushed far down the thread or placed behind “hidden replies.”
Each person gets their own unique view of a thread based on their social graph. It creates the impression that replies from distant users simply don’t exist. This is true even though they’re still technically public and viewable if you expand the thread or adjust filters. Bluesky is explicitly using features of subgraphs to moderate without moderating. Their reasoning is that if you can’t see each other, you can’t harass each other. Ergo, there is nothing to moderate.
Bluesky mentions that here:
https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-31-2025-building-healthier-social-media-update
As a digression, I’m not going to lie: I really enjoyed working on software built on the AT protocol, but their fucking users are so goddamn weird. It’s sort of like enjoying building houses, but hating every single person who moves into them. But, you don’t have to deal with them because you’re just the contractor. That is how I feel about Bluesky. I hate the people. I really like the protocol and infrastructure.
I sort of am a sadist who does enjoy drama, so I do get schadenfreude from people with social media addictions and parasocial fixations who reply to random people on Bluesky, because they don’t realize their replies are disconnected from the author’s thread unless that person is within their network. They aren’t part of the conversation they think they are. They’re algorithmically isolated from everyone else. Their replies aren’t viewable from the author’s thread because of how Bluesky handles social neighborhoods.
Bluesky’s idea of social neighborhoods is about grouping users into overlapping clusters based on real interaction patterns rather than just the follow graph. Unlike Twitter, it does not treat the network as one big public square. Instead, it models networks of “social neighborhoods” made up of people you follow, people who follow you, people you frequently interact with, and people who are closely connected to those groups. They’re soft, probabilistic groupings rather than strict labels.
Everyone does not see the same replies. Bluesky is being a bit vague with “hidden.” Hidden means your reply is still anchored to the thread and can be expanded. There is another way Bluesky can handle this. Bluesky uses social neighborhoods to judge contextual relevance. Replies from people inside or near your social neighborhood are more likely to be shown inline with a thread, expanded by default, or served in feeds. Replies from outside your neighborhood are still public and still indexed, but they’re treated as lower-context contributions.
Basically, if you reply to a thread, you will see it anchored to the conversation, and everyone will see it in search results, as a hashtag, or from your profile, but it will not be accessible via the thread of the person you were replying to. It is like shadow-banning people from threads unless they are strongly networked.
Because people have not been working with the AT Protocol like I have, they assume they are shadow-banned across the entire Bluesky app view. No—everyone is automatically shadow-banned from everyone else unless they are within the same social neighborhood. In other words, you are not part of the conversation you think you are joining because you are not part of their social group.
Your replies will appear in profiles, hashtag feeds, or search results without being visually anchored to the full thread. Discovery impressions are neighborhood-agnostic: they serve content because it matches a query, tag, or activity stream. Once the reply is shown, the app then decides whether it’s worth pulling in the rest of the conversation for you. If the original author and most participants fall outside your neighborhood, Bluesky often chooses not to expand that context automatically.
Bluesky really is trying to avoid having to moderate, so this is their solution. Instead of banning or issuing takedown labels to DIDs, the system lets replies exist everywhere, but not in that particular instance of the thread.
I find this ironic because a large reason why many people are staying on Bluesky and not moving to the fediverse—thank God, because I do not want them there—is discoverability, virality, and engagement.
In case anyone is asking how I know so much about how these algorithms work: I was a consultant on a lot of these types of algorithms, so I certainly hope I’d know how they work, lol. No, you get no more details about the work I’ve done. I have no hand in the algorithm Bluesky is using, but I have proposed and implemented that type of algorithm before.
I have an interest in noetics and the noosphere. A large amount of my ontological work is an extension of my attempts to model domains that have no spatial or temporal coordinates. The question is how do you generalize a metric space that has no physically, spatial properties. I went to school to try to formalize those ideas. Turns out they’re rather useful for digital social networks, too. The ontological analog to spatial distance, when you have no space, is a graph of similarities.

When doing a psychic reading for someone that tells me they are open to anything I will say, history has shown me that they are not actually open to it.
It’s strange how many people only want a reading for validity of what they think they already know.
