Just saw advice to newer writers saying being a full time writer is terrible, not worth it, and don’t do it.
I want to tell any creative person: There will always be naysayers. Do what’s right for you.
I’ve lived my whole life making room for creativity and am currently a full time writer who really enjoys it!
Wishing all in this world a beautiful day.
To live in light is to cast a shadow.
Help build the world you want to live in.
Live as if something good is on its way.
Whoa, Mastodon! What’s with the slew of posts with zero #AltText today???
“In a society where the good is defined in terms of profit rather than in terms of human need, there must always be some group of people who, through systematized oppression, can be made to feel surplus, to occupy the place of the dehumanized inferior.“
Happy birthday, Audre Lorde. Your words still sing.
This is your periodic reminder that prison rape jokes are not funny.
(Yes, one was just shared on my feed here).
Prison is not funny.
Rape is not funny.
Wishing you safety and warmth.
A place to thrive in this world.
Wishing a good rest to Bob Moore, who turned his company over to the workers in 2010. 700 workers now own Bob’s Red Mill.
(I call Bob’s oatmeal “The oats of righteousness” as a consequence).
Bob lived until 94. That’s a good run.

You are poetry and power (in motion).
Snow is coming. It’s rare in Portland, OR, so…
Dropped off hot food and tea supplies for humans at the LGBTQ+ run warming shelter, and just prepped provisions for the birds and squirrels.
Stay warm, friends!
Regarding this terrible behavior by Overdrive regarding not letting a parent w a trans kid continue to work remote so they could flee Ohio: https://merida.hair/notes/9odc2ueuu11ku1qr
I definitely encourage people to tell their libraries about it and ask if they can pressure Overdrive and/or find an alternate library portal!
But…. A thread
Humans fill this world with violence, trauma, and heartbreak, every day.
So grateful for those humans who fill this world with compassion, creativity, and joy.
Don’t give up.
This friendly cat wishes all you anxious humans a good day.
A fitting obituary from Spencer Ackerman:

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.” — Anthony Bourdain
Kissinger finally died.
I don’t usually celebrate people’s deaths, but… he was one of the great monsters of the 20th century.
Today is the Trans Day of Remembrance, which began in 1999 to mourn trans people murdered in the previous year, particularly Black trans women.
This year, I am thinking also of all the trans and gender-nonconforming people murdered by acts of genocide and war.…
Thread:
Recognize whose lands these are on which we stand.
Ask the deer, turtle, and the crane.
Make sure the spirits of these lands are respected and treated with goodwill.
The land is a being who remembers everything…

poem fragment from Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings
A professional writer and amateur photographer. I take a lot of walks and talk to squirrels, trees, and crows. I believe in the power of mutual aid to help build strong communities. I write books. A lot of books. Like, really a lot of books. Magic is real. Justice is worth fighting for. Many Gods. No Masters. Queer with a chronic illness.
