Even as I am, this world is too loud.

A world without sound.

I did an Art trade at Furswap last week for some of my paintings for pottery made by the immensely talented @shebatty.bsky.social. Apparently “imperfect seconds”, “difficult children”, but they are perfect for me. Thank you for bringing the beauty of your creation into my life.

Friends who make you feel like this <3

"Hi!" came a voice among the six doglike creatures. All of their mouths remained closed— it was hard to tell exactly where the sound was coming from. "I'm Sophiranifani. It's nice to meet you!" 🎨 @rishiyote.bsky.social 💜

no you can't be a coyote we're going to church [ #art #characters #sketchbook ]

It’s time for the wolves to come out and play! 🐺🌕

Bumpersnoot was a lot of fun. I loved being just a creature among other creatures and met lots of cool critters. @coyote.tel’s set made a big impact on me. I got a chance to meet & chat after. There’s a thirst for Therian art & music separate from furry & I am glad to see others being part of this.

Did a little art trade with @mothsprout he prints one of mine, I print one of his (one I had written a poem for) in a gold/copper metallic giclée. I had a spare 20x28” frame and here are the results.

Wren (dirtsecret) is a dear friend, an inspiration to so many of us and is a beautiful, generous, sharing soul, she needs our help, let all of us who can step up for her. gofund.me/d901a517

I’m vending at Bumpersnoot tomorrow & the next day at Furry Swapmeet Saturday down on Cap Hill at the Quality Flea Center… I hope to see some of you beautiful & gloriously incandescently weird & beastly little critters creachurs & cryptids this w/e. Lets be reckless, sniff butts, wag tails & bark!

Adjusting to the effects of 17 days alone is gonna take some time. Went out today & was a mess. Ate salad in the church labyrinth gardens, broke bread with seagulls, told a crow who came over for bread about my worries & concerns for the future. Crows are good listeners. Seagulls are good eaters.

This image reached me and granted me a myth and a benediction in a moment of ekphrasis. Have a story…. about these things I see and feel.

1st day back at church in 15 days. I’ve been ill with Covid & missed the past 2 services. It’s a joy to be welcomed back & taking Eucharist. Tonight, off to Compline & resume my regular rhythm of worship & to the work I’ve been sent out to do — which is, AFAIK is to be good, kind & not an asshole.

To my trans siblings: I wish fervently that you all get to live to tell the stories of your elders — as an elder.

I always look forward to Sabbath (Fri-Sat Sunset) a time to eat slowly & simply, to rest, to enjoy creation & our labours. Have sex, meet friends, do the things that we love. The Sabbath is a subversive idea that we do not need to work for rest & that we are not made to live under any pharaoh’ yoke.

Tonight I made a thing. I haven’t found a flute holder for a microphone or cymbal stand like this anywhere. Not one that holds a wooden flute with a wireless microphone on the end of it and so I made one and it works really well and it looks pretty rad too.

In ritual, in nurture, With child held close I invoke, I guard I sing the work of love is not always gentle, but it is a holy thing I growl & howl not in anger, but as a warning: here I stand this child is mine to protect. I give all I am, I give warmth, I give tooth, so they may live & understand.

ya'll get me on this one?

Two cool shots from Therion in May — someone in the audience took of the performance of me channelling… well something brooding, creaturely & maybe a little lonely?

Eating disorder came back with friends

:3

What if we brought an evening of ambient musics, local therian & trans poetry capping off with another performance of Lykaeon, to a forested location central to the city of Seattle around the Harvest Full Moon (Sept 7th) accessible via public transit & pay what you can? Would y’all vibe with that?

There isn’t always a logical why to feeling the way we do, just that we do. #furryart #furry #therapythoughts

Short and to the point retellings of some of my favourite Greek myths. 250 pages. A whirlwind tour of the Golden Fleece, Theseus & the Centaur, Orpheus & Eudyrice and dozen others plus in addition some lesser read stories. A small tome that can fit in shorts cargo pockets or a handbag. Comfort food.

I had a beautiful day today hanging out with creatures who became friends. We all sat down on a blanket in the sun making kandi. I bought enough of my teeth used on Lykaeon’s Necklace leftover to share & make a little ankle bracelet. With glass beads, teeth & stone. When done, Critter wanted one.

New drop new drop You know where to sniff it out

She seems to be keeping good company

Thank you so much! We needed the whole slice of everything that evening/night/morning threw at us.

Performing Lykaeon w/stories, poetry, monologue & music @ Terror In The Woods which became a transcendental Therian Trans Pagan & Queer night I’ll never forget. DJs & staff put on a show with community, pack & ritual. Our beautiful bestial audience brought love, warmth & howls 💜🐾 Pix credits in Alt

“What the Creek Said”

You were amazing and what a pair of yeens and wolven we make. Thank you for being in my orbit, your howls joined the chorus and helped uplift an energy like no other that I have experienced. Truly a specia, magical moment. Thank you. 💜

Ill be selling prints at the show tonight. They help support my work as an artist, a poet, a therian, a musician and performer and as a creaturely creative. I will also be selling my prints at the Furry Swap Meet the following day: bsky.app/profile/impa... terror-in-the-woods.hellhound.industries
