The spoiled fur goblin got a new blankie, and I got an hour of uninterrupted edits. I don't know why this photo looks like Technicolor was just invented. 😬

Romance is resistance Re-enchantment is resistance Fashion is resistance Play is resistance Anything that keeps us happy and healthy and beautiful in the face of oppression helps pave the road to freedom.

Jaana still has one bud, which feels poignant. When the rest of me has fallen apart or given up, there's still that little bit that keeps going.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I worked on some short stories today with themes close to my heart, and polished a chapter of my second novel, which may be my favourite dysfunctional child.

Reminder to treat your body like a data center:
1. Consume as much water and literature as possible 
2. Upset the local city council with your existence

I once gave a significant other something like this. I won't say what was in it, but I was reading a lot of Anne Rice at the time.

I've always struggled with taking breaks. (Trauma-based overachieving, anyone?) It should not be this hard to make myself sit down and eat a proper meal without working on something.

Bisexuality does not require you to have dated X number of people Y times to count. You attracted to more than one gender? Cool. You count. Anyone saying otherwise is a jerk.

Good Sabbat to all the witches out there. Today, we say farewell to Persephone as she hops on that railroad line to Hadestown. This is the first morning that it's been bearable outside (17°C) for months. Here's a glimpse at the garden, including my rabbit summoning circle. #AutumnEquinox

I know I'm a Luddite, but I never quite understood my degree of ludditeness—my ludditity—until I got a DSLR for work. I don't like this. I want my old Minolta SLR back. It was metal, not cheap plastic. I want film. Photography isn't the same anymore.

Turned down last week: 2 festivals with no budget for speakers 1 writing course with no budget for teachers 1 film project with no budget to option the book - plus they wanted me to write the screenplay. For free. Don't do it, kids. Don't work for free. Because to them, what's free is worthless.

Good morning, lovelies and gentleghouls. I've been in quite a bit of pain for a couple weeks now. I don't know if it's the weather changing or a pain flare from the stress of moving, but it's hard to be productive when it hurts to breathe.

While I would not include Twilight in this list, I think it's an interesting examination of the relationship between women and monsters, which is the premise of my forthcoming book. If you also love monster romance, stay tuned for more information. youtu.be/HlRaJuJC5AM?...

There is not going to be a perfect time to be what and who you are. There will never be total safety, there will never be a road without fear. You can always choose to start now. This is your one go round. Get fucking weird with it.
