Today’s unexpected mission: finding a new home for my novelette “Away From the Machine”. By making that story open-access I was thinking of human creators/collaborators… 🤦

If you’re celebrating Independent Bookstore Day today, both of my books are available at Bookshop.org or you can order them through your most beloved indie bookseller! I hear the unholy A-Z is running its own book sale today but we are far too smart to fall for that ☺️ bookshop.org/contributors...

I’d add to “supporter” “& tacit accomplice.” As a progressive human I struggle to find anything to say to my Republican representative about the current attacks on our rights that won’t make him think “Mission accomplished!” But there are 20,000 #MSwarriors in Wisconsin and all those people vote!

On the blog: the conclusion (?) of my series about my 2.5 year experience applying for SSDI, written mainly for people with #MS but perhaps more generally useful, especially where taxes are concerned! thefairyofdisenchantment.wordpress.com/2025/04/13/t...

Tarot has long been an integral tool in my writing and life but I have to give a shout out to @megjoneswall.bsky.social for always bringing community into an otherwise personal practice. This latest workbook has everything I love about her approach & vindicates my own minor-arcana-heavy practice 🖤

Thanks to @publicdomainrev.bsky.social we can all enjoy the obsessive entomological genius of Ladislas Starevich! My late mate and I were so lucky to see this classic several years ago with the Hot Club of San Francisco playing a live score… 🦗🪲✨ publicdomainreview.org/collection/c...

I’m glad too. And frustrated on yet another level by the dark ages we’re being sent back to. One of the first things I’d investigate is how many cases of adenomyosis feature a severe reaction to hormonal BC cuz I’ve been there. This article is definitely refueling my fight for answers.

I probably follow more photography accounts here than anything else & as a devotee of storms have to say my favorite is @lorigrace.bsky.social. Wishing all the chasers a stellar season!⛈️

Added 6 new albums to my collection this #bandcampfriday & the absolute highlight was the listening party for this release. Thank you @alabasterdeplume.bsky.social & @intlanthem.bsky.social —without going into the griefspace I’ve been existing in, everything about this music is balm. 🙏🏻

A new post on the Fairy since it’s been a while for a lot of things including any new poetry at all… thefairyofdisenchantment.wordpress.com/2025/03/06/m...

Dropping everything to let my eyes pet this for half an hour or so…

Gods & ghosts, what a high bar @porkbellypress.bsky.social sets for micropresses! Just 👀 this hyperpersonalized package presentation! They had me at hand-stitched, but these books (@robertokaji.bsky.social’s “Texas Flood” & Tina Mozelle Braziel’s “Rooted by Thirst”) are literal enchantment.

A beautiful review of ‘the Beast’ has made it to World Literature Today and I’m just speechless. This is a journal you pretty much need an institutional subscription to and my prime objective is to get the book into as many #LIBRARIES as I can, so I fervently hope it catches the right readers!

Sentry Kindness. Gentleness. Empathy. These things are fires shining in the forest night. They must be tended, but in tending them we are illuminated. We become a target for things that thrive in darkness. So, as ever, love is risk. And, as ever, worth the danger.

A belated intro post! I write poetry and dark romantic fantasy informed by nature, magic, science, music, queerness, and life with chronic illness (MS, depression). I’m also a visual artist; my familiar is a frequent muse. 🐈‍⬛ Some sample pages from my novel & poetry debuts:

Thanks I was needing sign inspiration for the President’s Day day of action (Feb. 17, noon, your nearest Capitol) 🐕

Trying not to let my mind run on the prospect of Elon Musk having access to my SSDI (the likeliest part of Social Security he’d get away with cutting) by focusing on the new growth on my plants and the fact that Claudio can coexist with them peaceably. #caturday

Agreed; excited the way only word nerds can be. I just spent the exactly right amount of time at the intersection of “carmine” and “cochineal”. ♥️

Good night Marianne Faithfull, who now rests in “That spot which no vicissitude can find.” My favorite album of hers will always be “She Walks in Beauty”, a labor of love & survival. Beauty was what she made it, all through her life. youtu.be/c0KPacNDY84?...

It’s so nice to be able to buy ebooks from Bookshop now - and yes I looked for my books first 😅. For some reason the Fairy is not available (yet?) but the Beast is! bookshop.org/beta-search?...
