Howdy, folks! Been a bit since I've posted, but it's my birthday today, and even though Miss Manners frowns upon this, I'm asking for one thing for my birthday - just do as Bill and Ted would do, and Be Excellent To Each Other.

If you’re like me, when someone says DON’T READ THIS BOOK, you rush to get it and read the dang thing. It's about a lesbian vampire, a werewolf, and a non-binary golem rescuing the greatest writer in the world! Check out @benjamingorman.bsky.social's THE CONVENTION OF FIENDS trilogy. bit.ly/1TCoF

Loves, we can't do much individually to stop this, and even all our efforts may not stop this doom train now it's rolling. But I'll tell you what we can do - we can live, we can love, we can do our best to survive. Fight with the energy you have, organize, and support those that are most at risk.

May our dreams of a better and kinder world come true, lovely ones.

Hello, lovely ones! I've been wrapped up with some life things of late, and putting energy into editing and collating my poems. I hope you are all well and staying safe, and that you are finding hope and joy, even in the midst of horrors. Yes, the horrors persist, but so do we.

Back from vacation and steering my brain back into Work Mode. I hope the week ahead is full of the best surprises for you all, Beautiful Ones.

I love a good storm, a pounding rain that cleanses the air and washes the streets clean, but they can also be scary. I think what I love the most is the peace of the aftermath.

Quick update on poetry posts - I'm off on a beach vacation today, so expect sporadic posts at best. Also, I'm shifting into editing mode, trying to see out if I have enough really good poems to collect into a chapbook, maybe 2. As always, be good to everyone you can - including yourselves, loves.

I see you, beautiful ones. Stay kind, be you.

Trying some new things with today's poem, and it's not quite there. Instead, here's one from my last chapbook, "The Gift of Forgetting."

Still poking at today's poem, here's a longish one from my first chapbook. Be good to yourselves, beautiful ones!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Resist and refuse, lovely ones. We have more power than they want us to realize.

The poem I wrote today is a personal one, so I'll share this piece instead:

I wrote this poem 5 years ago and it felt appropriate to post it today, on the 11th anniversary of my father's death. Atque in perpetuum, pater, ave atque vale. Tell those you love that you love them, dear ones.

For those that celebrate, I wish you a happy Easter. For those that do not, may you score some good candy at half-price tomorrow. Be good to yourselves, lovely ones, and be as good as you can to this hurting world.
