@julienthepotter.bsky.social please meet my artist pal @poppersthepony.bsky.social! @poppersthepony.bsky.social, this is the person who made the gorgeous coffee mug that you admired!

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

At an elementary school at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne, librarians are scrubbing the shelves. They are removing books that even contain references to slavery or the civil rights movement. This is where "anti DEI" sentiment has brought us. They are whitewashing history.

I now have “The Accordionist’s Friend” stickers! After I add the stickers to my store, I’ll be painting Honey Lee. Giclee prints of this painting are already available at www.etsy.com/shop/whipper....

I’m making these lavender filled sachets to sell in my Etsy store. Backed with Liberty of London cotton lawn, because we all could use some extra Liberty. Repels fascists AND moths!

Sunday is for sewing and potato waffles.

I can hear LA burning All the way from Massachusetts The noise whipping through my porch Slumping over drifts of snow The crackle of a thousand fires A thousand feet hitting the ground running Oh, California! my broken heart.

Weekend: Organized my desktop so I can write, drove and listened to loud music, ate a savory hand pie and drank tea at The Pie Bar, touched up Self Portrait with Accordion, watched a news video with Heather Richardson, and cooked cabbage with sausage. This country is dissolving. I’m tired.

I have succeeded in organizing my desktop files so that I can finish writing my books! I have a separate folder for each book and sub folders for illustrations, finished files, and text. There are some dupes, but it’s so much better. 📚

I’ve been rage-sewing Liberty of London shirts. It’s a good thing I have a fabric stash.

And now to start a needlepoint project for a friend.

Racism, pure & simple

My best friend lives 3,000 miles away in subsidized housing. This is terrifying.

Caterday at the Pink House where sleeping is on the agenda.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

Western Massachusetts…join us! #QueerWriters

Now's the time to channel our ancestor's energy! Lotte Hahm (Germany, drawing by @poppersthepony.bsky.social ) & Bet van Beeren (Netherlands, drawing by Mai Kobabe). Both women owned gay bars & were active in WWII Resistance. From "Resistance: the Fight Against Fascism in WWII" by Avery Cassell.

I prefer the millionaire techies showing their stark, true colors by snuggling up with DT rather than masquerading as inclusive.

A friend and I just started a monthly queer smut writer’s group to read and critique our work! Pleasure and creativity are resistance.

I came home to “Kink Is” and new bookmarks for my books!

My favorite drawing of Annemarie Schwarzenbach (with Erika Mann). From Resistance: the LGBT Fight Against Fascism in WWII. She was a a writer and an activist. Also hot and a train wreck.

Went to my writers group tonight and read a piece about a date that started with us accidentally eating my husband’s cremains in spaghetti sauce, then ended in a threesome. Now am drinking peppermint tea.
