Whilst I’m in my photos of the National Museum in Copenhagen, you’d better have this 360 of the Gundestrup Cauldron. Found in 1891 in a Jutland peat bog, there are more questions hanging over this silver Iron Age vessel than answers…only its shocking beauty is uncontested. #FindsFriday

My new short story, MESTRA, comes out as a standalone this September! I rediscovered this myth from Ovid while working on my Persephone novel, and it absolutely electrified me. In case you want to pre-order, thank you from the bottom of this author's heart, links are here! linktr.ee/madeline.mil...

The cover of a new hardback short story edition. Rich red background, darker at top and bottom, brighter in the middle. A gold outline of a sparrow-ish bird flies upwards at center left, with wings spread, trailing abstract gold curlicues from its tail feathers. Block letters at top read: Madeline MiIler Author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Song of Achilles. Block letters at bottom read Mestra, A Short Story.

What happened to those people who were dressing up as bread eating orcs & hanging out at The Drunken Goat tavern or whatever??? I want that energy in 2026, not whatever the fuck this is.

I understand why the Margaret Atwood quote is being paraphrased, but the full quote is worth a read. It comes from a 1982 piece on writing the male character. It’s not just about differences in fear and it’s definitely not about silly little women who might naively annoy unstable men.

Why are these fir trees floating in a lake? These are Christmas trees pursuing their second career creating fish habitat. Fish and wildlife managers are improving fish management using trees. This is a great use of our trees after their retirement. Read about it at Our Trees, ourtrees.substack.com

I’ve unfollowed a lot of people over the last month. I don’t disagree with them and it’s not personal. It’s just that constantly seeing commentary on the American political hellscape is a bit overwhelming for me.

Center is the wool card (44) from the Mabon Seasons of the Witch Oracle deck. The card is surrounded by stones, a vase of dried flowers, a golden grasshopper, a small spell bottle, and a pentacle charm.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety: 🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins 🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage 📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active
