I started painting to transmute some of this chaotic energy. I used to junk journal back in 2020, so I wanted to try something new. I call this one "hidden flowers". #paintingthepainaway

Hey friends, the kindle version of my book, Teach Me to Forget is $2.99 right now! I wrote this when I was in an unhealed place over 10 years ago. I hope anyone who reads it finds hope in its pages, finds a part of themselves they may not show, like I did. 🦋 You're loved, never forget that. ♥️

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I’m learning #astrophotography! I love it so much. I just got a new lens which I’m totally nerding out on! Here’s a few pics I took recently. Lightroom helps make them even cooler looking. It’s been such a great creative outlet for me lately.

I had the Moderna version, flu and pneumonia at the same time. This Covid shot had the least amount of pain and side effects. I was relieved, the last couple took me out for a couple days. I think they must have cracked the code lol

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Houston! If you don't have the capacity to adopt, fostering is a great way to save a life. (And if you're in a major metro area that isn't Houston, your shelter may be facing similar overcrowding.)
