Gotta redo my website. I commissioned this "logo" for it. I think if I'm going to use it, the rest of the site will need to be really simple. Wordpress is kicking my butt, tho.

I’ve got to record myself reading a poem out loud. The last time I recited a poem in public was 22 years ago. I’m going to listen to a few hours of Michael Sheen frothing Shakespeare at the mouth, and see if that helps my tummy butterflies. Wish me luck, #WriterCommunity #poetry

Whew! I’ve been locked out for weeks! How have you been?

Looking at Funeral Rings and Death Spoons. This is a fascinating lecture!

NICE! These are the girls of Dubbaco, and that "rabbit" is one of their familiars. He's named Fluffers, and yes he has a scorpion tail today, but usually he has eyes all over his body, a wasp stinger, and projectile fangs. Art commissioned by @godweaver.bsky.social

If you see this, post a rabbit 🐇 🐙

My copy of Dark Blooms is home! Really great quality, too. Now let’s read about some horrifying girls!!!

A teen girl missing her savage mother, who'd been banished for unladylike behavior. A young selkie who uses beauty and changeling powers to captivate and capture humans to feed to her demonic mistress. A story about power, identity, rage, and first love bad decisions. www.amazon.com/Dark-Blooms-...

It’s just a fundamental misunderstanding of privilege. They seem to think it means not suffering at all, rather than a categorical exemption
