[dustandhoney]

Name: Patch
Age: 34

I mostly post about:
Quiet living, books with margin notes, tea blends, visible mending, soft rituals, and the small things that anchor a day — light through curtains, a sentence that stays with you, a note Rae once wrote.

My hobbies are:
Reading (especially secondhand or annotated books), mending clothes by hand, brewing tea like it’s a spell, walking in the woods, archiving, journalling, and noticing the in-between moments.

My fandoms are:
Discworld (especially the witches), gentle fantasy, soft folklore, The Last Unicorn, Stardew Valley, and anything that feels like wool and wonder.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Love longform blogging, notice quiet details, have soft rituals of their own, and enjoy the kind of friendship that builds slowly and kindly over time.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Weekly-ish — sometimes more if I’m feeling thoughtful or tea-drowsy.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty masked as “honesty,” bigotry, mockery, or a lack of care for the softer parts of others.

Before adding me, you should know:
I’m quiet and sentimental, I tag generously, and I write as if I’m tucking things away in a drawer. Rae (she/her) appears often in my posts — she’s someone I love, even if I rarely say it aloud. If you like slow friendships and soft mornings, I’d be glad to meet you.

Your journal sounds lovely :) Mind if I add you? Feel free to give a skim through my public posts and add me back if you want, but if not, it's ok!

[dustandhoney]

Thank you so much — that’s really kind of you to say. I’d be happy to have you! I’ll take a little wander through your posts soon with a cup of tea in hand, but either way, you’re very welcome here. 🌿

[grimmrow]

I like you. You seem genuine and down to Earth. I'm adding you.

I'll warn: I mostly talk about writing in my journal but try to comment at least 2-3 times a month. I'm often sentimental too and love the idea of stardew valley. <3

[dustandhoney]

That’s such a lovely message — thank you.
Looking forward to reading along — and no pressure on the commenting. Quiet presence is more than enough.

Sweet!

I appreciate that you have enough public posts that I could sample your journal – and I find it comfortingly gentle and thoughtful. I've added you to my reading list. Thank you!

Re: Sweet!

[dustandhoney]

That means a lot — thank you for taking the time to read a little before adding me. I wanted to be sure I was truly settling into the habit before I started reaching out, making space for company and conversation. It feels good to be here now, with a steadier rhythm — and to be met with such warmth. I'm glad to cross paths.

[earthspirits]

I love tea, nature, folklore, the little things that make life worth living, art, books and writing.

Would you like to add each other to our mutual circle, subscription lists?

[dustandhoney]

That sounds like a kindred list, truly — all the quiet, tender things that root a person gently in the world. I’d love to add each other. Looking forward to sharing spaces and stories with you. 🌿📚🫖

You sound nice. I'll add you. I am a 63 year old retired librarian in New York city, and live alone with m-y cat and my turtle. I lead a mostly boring life but i post every day so you always have something to read. I hope you will add me back.

[dustandhoney]

You sound thoroughly lovely — I’m very fond of librarians, and cats, and the kind of quiet life that isn’t really boring at all when you look closely. I’d be glad to add you back. Looking forward to your daily posts and little glimpses of your world.

Hello Patch, you sound like a sweet and gentle person - I think I would love to get to know you. Your dealbreakers are pretty much the same as mine, I strive to be as kind and empathetic as I can be in this tough world.

I also love reading, tea and walking in nature & I try to notice the little moments as well.
Want to be friends?

Btw, my name is Tina, I am 37 and live in Germany with my cat ^-^

[dustandhoney]

Hello Tina — what a lovely message, thank you. You sound like someone I’d be very glad to know. Kindness and quiet noticing go a long way in this world, and it’s always heartening to find others who move through life that way.

I’d love to be friends. Sending a warm hello to you (and your cat!) from across the way. 🌿📚🫖

[yourivy]

You are very welcome, and both me and my cat are sending a very warm hello back ♥

Hi, Patch. I peeped at your journal and it is LOVELY. I would love to add you. My journal is mostly friends-only, but my media posts are public. I also have an entry here from a few months ago that would give you an introduction.

[dustandhoney]

Hi there — thank you so much, that’s such a kind thing to say. I’d be glad to have you, and I’ll take a look at your intro post with a cup of something warm in hand. Looking forward to reading along. 🌿

[llumdelluna]

I'm Laura, 45yo, from Spain. You sound like somebody I'd love to get to know, I'm a huge fan of quiet living myself, walking in the woods, journalling... and Stardew Valley is my favorite game ever :) You mind if I add you?

[dustandhoney]

Hi Laura — you sound like someone I’d be glad to share space with. Quiet living, woods-walking, journalling, and Stardew? That’s a kindred list if I’ve ever seen one. I’d be very happy to connect — please do add me. 🌿💛

[hauntedrose]

Hello! :) You sound lovely! I'll go ahead and add you, but if you find I'm too rough around the edges, it's okay if you don't follow back! 🙏

[decemberthirty]

Hello! My name is Katie. I'm a reader, a writer, a tea-drinker, and a nature-lover. It sounds like we have some things in common, and I'd love to get to know each other. I've added you because my journal is friends-only. This way you can have a look at it before adding me--no hard feelings if it's not your style. :)

[femgoroth]

Added you, feel free to add me back or not! Totally OK. Love the softness.

[silviarambles]

I love the softeness of you intro. As I said to someone else before, I live quite a hectic life in a busy city, but I try to make space for peaceful moments and for noticing the small everyday things. I'll add you so that you can have a look and see if you'd like to add me back.

[krakendelsur]

Looks like we have a shared interest in sewing and herbalism :]
Would love to be mutuals. lmk if you're interested!

[marycuntrarian]

Hello! I'm an old LJer from long ago coming to Dreamwidth as a newbie! Looking for some friends and I love the way you write! It's so cozy and nice. :D

I also dig Stardew Valley but I haven't played in so long, would love a pc I could play a modded version on someday. Would you like to be DW pals?
