My "Forest Tales" is in there, and I've read a few of the others in there. This is a great way to find new stuff to read!

The site where I've had some of my poetry and a short story available to read for free is closing down soon. It'll take some time with everything going on in our family, but I'll figure out somewhere else to do it. Maybe my blog. Maybe my ko-fi. You know, since those already exist.

I've got three writing projects that probably feel abandoned. We just need to get through this move! I swear I'm going to come back to you, my beloved stories and poems! I'm really missing my writing these past couple of weeks.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I needed something to help me push through pain and somehow relax last night, so I drew this whole thing with one long line. Started in the bottom left corner and finished in the top right.

White square filled with a very long, intricate squiggly purple line. It took hours to draw.

With everything getting packed for the move, I'm restricted to drawing on my tablet. Not usually how I do it. The sensory experience is an important part of drawing and painting for me. Right now, though, this may be what I need. It all feels chaotic, but there's really too much order.

See, I made a BIG mistake... I thought I could write a drag queen as a character with very little story of their own, mostly just there for a small and vital role in the plot. Please stop laughing. The character has already educated me on how wrong I was.

I feel the need to confess something. Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (1959) is brilliantly conceived, exceptionally well written, a modern masterpiece of a novel, perfect in its precision, an instant classic. Wouldn't change a word of it. I hate it SO MUCH.

Wow... I'll be real honest. The drama over the T. Kingfisher BG3 book is why I don't get into fandoms. I don't want to be involved with people who love the same things I love with the same passion because it's going to go like THAT someday. I prefer to keep to myself and love things.

I need a break. Packing art supplies is making me cry. I mean, they're going with us! I'll unpack them and use them again! The process is really restricting safe space, space to be myself. I know I'll use the supplies. I also know it probably won't be in the next couple of months.

Perhaps there is somewhere far away from here that's better. At times I think I can hear it calling out to me— as if the very wind through the trees beckons. Yet the closer I get the further away it seems. And I'm left shivering in the darkness where a promise used to be. #sensewrds 271

There seems to be a coordinated talking point among the EA folks that the "standard" approach to "AI" on "the Left" is "AI is just stochastic parrots so no need to worry about it". (Sorry for all the scare quotes, but y'know) >>

as a hater let me acknowledge something ai is good at: producing irritating discourse at scale this is usually because, like "ai" itself, people are talking about different things like they are one thing so let me disentangle, with statements numbered for easy disagreement

The oldest leaves on my dwarf lotus plant are turning brown, but new green leaves are still opening every few days. If the plant survives us moving, we'll go through our first winter together. If it doesn't... well, I learned a lot this year and will start again next year.

Dwarf lotus plant in a pot with 6 inch diameter. Lots of leaves! Some of the older leaves are turning brown, but most are a vibrant green.

I often say Star Trek raised me. I found the original series through reruns while I was in a hospital bed after having my appendix removed when I was in elementary school. My doctor was great with kids, but I kind of wished he was Dr. McCoy. So much of my love of water comes from growing up

If you’re looking for a short story for Sapphic September, my little fairy tale might be right up your alley! Maybe check it out if you like ladies, magic and found family. 🔥♥️ 🔖 story: mybook.to/WDd0F 💌 itch.io link: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/fire-at-her-... [ #booksky ]

kindle cover for fire at her fingertips by rebecca crunden; picture is of a hand holding flames

Your earliest memory is the heat of a fire – the way it feels like it belongs to you, the way it smells like disintegration and destruction and hunger. A hunger you know well, for your earliest memory would not be complete without the gnawing in your gut and the way your father looks at you, tells you to stop crying, screams at you to be silent. His tyranny orchestrates your earliest memories, alongside your stepmother’s silent shame. It’s always you and it and that. They never gave you a name. Names were for things people wanted to remember, and your parents would prefer to forget you. But fire screams, too.

Their entire dynamic on the sitcom only makes sense through this exchange. Frasier is a petty bourgeoisie small business tyrant, Roz is his employee who puts up with his tantrums because labour law and union power makes them toothless, and each accepts this tension as the basis of their friendship.
