Make art!
Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The Arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lusy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. -Kurt Vonnegut

In Greek myth, Orion fell in love with the Seven Sisters. To escape, they prayed to Zeus, who transformed them into doves and flung them into the sky, forming the Pleiades, aka the "Seven Sisters". app.astrobin.com/i/rrqtf9 #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

My Google listing is doing very well for referring new local authors to me. A soon-to-be Kingston author reached out to me last week to edit her memoir, and she’s taking me out to lunch on Wednesday to talk about it. How cool is that? 😁

Book 36 of 2026 is a comedic satire & spiritual odyssey meets pop culture by my LinkedIn friend, Sharif Khan. The Sufi Surfer is described as The Life of Pi meets The Master and Margarita, or White Lotus meets Siddhartha. Curious? So am I. 🏄🏻‍♂️ #BookSky📚

🧛‍♀️🌹🩸 New Review! 🩸🌹🧛‍♀️ Her Bloody Vengeance by N C Scrimgeour "This superb tale of a monster hunter’s pact with a vampire to seek her vengeance swaps hopeful romance for amorality & is all the more memorable for it. I desperately didn’t want it to end; life, like a vampire, is a cruel thing."

Okay...so I have now read this absolutely compelling domestic horror/paranormal suspense...not sure what to call it. I agree with @bodaciouscopy.bsky.social 's review. It requires careful reading, but the reward is tremendous. Full of dread. I could hardly breathe.
