I loooooooved working with @eirinieee.bsky.social on this art. We explored so many ideas before finally finding this 'blood moon as a chalice' concept. I have plenty of web clients who just need a simple site build, but I adore the journey I get to go on with my art clients. eiriniecarson.com

Just having a chill Saturday morning listening to the Hereditary soundtrack and editing my maternal gothic novel while my children scream for me. My nervous system is fine thanks for asking. #bloodfirebaby

Hi writers can anyone give me advice on residency/fellowship applications- the question where they ask "why our specific residency?" Is there another answer other than BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SPACE/TIME/MONEY & THOSE ARE WHAT I NEED TO STEP AWAY FROM MY LIFE AND WRITE

Listening to my man try to keep the kids out of my room so I can write is so sweet. Like a goalie just tackling them before they can reach the door 🥰 soon they're going to be too tall to fight off

Life imitates art / art imitates life: my children sleep terribly for a week straight and I have to edit my manuscript about a sleepless woman who loses her mind while caring for her child. Just waiting for the shadow creatures now. 🩸🔥👶🏾

This should not be posed by journalists as cost-cutting measure. This is an attempt to gut civil rights enforcement across the federal government and therefore across American life. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan
Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.

My balm for these times is and always will be (as long as they're still here, at least) the redwoods with my old man dog.
