What ABBA never mentioned is that Dancing Queen is really a figurehead position. All the real power is in the hands of Dancing Parliament.

Being sick sucks, but resting at home has its perks. I'm hoping my sore throat will be healed enough for my friend's Wicked sing-along birthday party tomorrow, but if not, at least my nails are ready. 😊 #mooncat 💚 Serpents of Eden 🩷 Not Today Satan

In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION. Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation. Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

I no longer believe art can save the world, but I believe still that it can save me. So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. 🖤🤍

I feel like I've fallen out of reality. My Aunt Pam died suddenly this weekend. That sentence doesn't even make sense. I was born on her birthday (13 years and 3 minutes apart), and we lived together when I was little, so she's always been in a blurry space between aunt and big sister.

The old year is dying. The new world struggles to be born. Now is the time for silly hats.

On thys NYE, it ys okaye if festivitye ys not thy thing. It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have tinye plans that still seem exhausting. It ys okaye to just be. Be kynde to thyself. Be extra kynde. We are all straungeres heere doing our best. Thou art amazinge.

An acceptance from @moonparkreview.bsky.social was a much better gift than three French hens. 😁🎉

Happy Christmas to my boys, who received all sorts of cool presents from all sorts of friends and family (including $50 a piece from a great aunt), but who gave the most enthusiastic response to this big box that was filled with little boxes of grape Nerds (from me). 🤣 I love them.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Don't miss three great new poems by @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social, all December at www.ADozenNothing.com! Q: Hey Katie, if you could insert yourself as a member into any historical art/literary "scene" what would it be? A: I would drop myself right into Gertrude Stein's Paris salon.

I'm a little late posting this, but I wanted to express my gratitude to @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social and the editorial team at @whaleroadreview.bsky.social for making room for this shapeshifting poem in their fall issue. Find full poem here: whaleroadreview.com/iorga/ 1/2
