I haven’t written much here lately. But, it’s partly because I’ve been writing poetry for a collection I’m pulling together. I haven’t had writing flow so easily in ages, so whenever it hits me, I go right to it. I’m sure more posts will be forthcoming!
I’m not going away. Ever. 🏳️⚧️ I love who I am and I love my sisters, brothers, and chosen family. Fuck all who try to come for me.
Always have loved Tears for the Dying, ever since hearing them in Bad Girl Boogey. This cover of Jolene is fantastic.
I miss my guitar. I’m watching videos of garage bands and remember jamming and just making sonic poems. Hmmm…maybe time to look into getting another guitar?

Finished reading: The Virtues of Underwear by Nina Edwards 📚 I heard about this from a podcast. I think the author was on and talking about the material I think the podcast had all I needed but still a cute read.
Happy birthday to Agatha Christie. Her novels were so important to me when I was younger and just out of university. In a complex world, her cozy little mysteries took me away and made me think, smile and worry. I bought or borrowed so many of her Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries!
Finished reading: Heretic by Catherine Nixey 📚
4.5 out of 5 rating
An excellent resource though it would probably be better as a reference than stand alone work. It’s got so much detail and includes many references.
I liked it more than her first book, The Darkening Age, in that it didn’t feel like a disconnected series of rants (even though her rants were correct). This book feels more polished, and it makes it better.
A new week, newly re-energized. Fall is here, one of my favorite seasons. Crisp air, changing colors, often beautiful skies.
It’s been a hard week, but some things have rescued me from the abyss. One was a single word, the power of which can’t be underestimated. Another was seeing micro.blog posts by people I follow. It’s so amazing to see them look at the world we live in and react thoughtfully to it. There is hope. 🩷
