A Revised Web Page, an Event with Friends, a New Project Launched Into the World, and a Many Voices Open Mic are Acts of Resistance!
These past couple weeks have been rough...but I'm still here...still resisting....still finding joy.

Breakfast, a Writer's Group, and a New Publication are Acts of Resistance
It’s Sunday night and I’ve had the kind of weekend I love, full of connection and conversations big, small, and in-between.

Lansing, Michigan, 7:50-8:02 a.m., 3 degrees 🥶 I woke wanting to see the sunrise. Whenever I've worried the world would end, it hasn't. The world won't end today. Every morning, the sun rises. Joy is an act of resistance. A sunrise is an act of resistance. What's YOURS?
Sunrise on Lansing's Michigan Avenue, facing East.

Sharing an article about Zee the Goblin’s art in Ink Free News! I’m a little late, but I remembered today! So glad to have Zee in my life and as part of SwampFire. They create art and community in ways that move and inspire me, AND they make an excellent pot of tea!

Anweiler Reacts To Life With Art
When I was 4, I said, ‘I’m going to be an artist.’ I’ve had other ideas since then, but I’ve always returned to that,” said Zee Anweiler. “I would tell my younger self that art is a reaction to life.”

“The first time Sammy and I met Hell’s self-appointed mayor Odum Plenty, whose real name is John Colone, we were waiting for Screams to open so I could buy her ice cream at the Creamatory.” — “Go to Hell: A Love Story” At the end of a semester, writing for myself feels exactly right!

Thanks again to to IUSB for hosting @bonniejo.bsky.social and me, and to Natasha O'Hara who concludes, "every story has its own unique perspective, and whether you choose to shape that into fiction or non-fiction, there’s something powerful about writing from a place that’s deeply familiar."
