It's National Read an Ebook day! A perfect day to pre-order my new novella ebook a.co/d/1Y9VEpm (delivered to your device on 9/26!)

Speaking of which I have a Dragon class starting later this month www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/p/dr...

Today I'm thinking about Dragons and Unicorns, and honestly this is where my headspace belongs these days. www.patreon.com/posts/dragon...

The places where you actually NEED grace are filthy and bloody and despairing. Grace is the last cigarette shared in the gutter, the hand of the dying being held by the stranger, the kindness done by the broken.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Just packed up all the books for my first Storygraph giveaway. I hope they like them and review them!!

Feeling starved for beauty so when errands called me to Santa Fe, I decided to see some art! I also got grocery store flowers, because beauty.

Last Chance to sign up for my writing workshop, "How to Write Fairy Tale Retellings" - only a few spots remain www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/p/ho...

This is not a hot take. "Quiet quitting" was just the boundary-setting portion of burnout, and "quiet cracking" is actual factual burnout. Late Stage Capitalism sure doesn't want us to realize we're burned out... let's just make up more stupid names for it.

When I started grad school, my then-husband tried to tell one of his coworkers the field that I was studying for my Ph.D. She tried to wrap her mind around it and asked. “What, like fairies ‘n’ shit?” Yes, exactly. www.patreon.com/posts/like-f...

If you enjoy writing and reading "twisted" or "fractured" fairy tales, then this workshop is for you. Join us for "How To Write Fairy Tale Retellings" www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/p/ho...

Needed this reminder today.

in anticipation of the likely banning of the trns flg—the way things are going—i have made a prototype of a functional performative object meant to trouble & expand the work done by such gestural tools. the picture is hard to decipher; text is in alt. the next version will be more durable.

Last chance to sign up for "Beyond the Veil" starting tomorrow! There are only a few spots left! www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/p/be...

The worst part about having a Ph.D. is when you find a topic that's not adequately covered in the literature, and you immediately think "well, hell, now I've got to write this." www.patreon.com/posts/on-psy...

One thing I do miss about having apps like this on my phone is having a place to just randomly spout the ridiculous thoughts that occur to me. My notes app is FIRE.

Eeeeeeeee!!! It's alive! My self-published collection of fairy tales is now on sale anywhere you buy books. (both ebook and paperback versions are available) bookshop.org/p/books/murd...

What do these things have in common? - A lesbian retelling of Rapunzel with a disabled "prince" - A Cyberpunk retelling of the frame tale to 1001 Arabian Nights - A Sci-Fi Space station retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears - A Sleeping Beauty retelling set during the Covid-19 pandemic

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace. It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate. They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

BREAKING: A Senate committee has just approved a bill to ban stock trading for members of Congress, the VP, and the President. The bill can now go before the Senate.

My next class "Beyond the Veil" starts on August 7th! If you're interested in a panoramic view of myths of the afterlife, you should check it out! www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/p/be...

I've had so many witchy synchronicities over the course of the last month! This is a post starting to dip a toe into why I don't describe myself as a witch... www.patreon.com/posts/on-wit...

Thought it might help some people if I reposted this on here

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Political Theorists call this shit like "Consciousness building", I call it "Showing yourself that you aren't helpless and they aren't God". You actually need to do this. Just sitting around on your ass doing nothing is a great way to feel like there's nothing that can be done.

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word. Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would: — Kick 16 million off their health care — Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes — Hike your energy bills — Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

My annual Juneteenth tradition is to signal boost the Brister English Project. (I usually donate money, but this year is tight.) SO GO HERE LOOK AT THIS. Walt is dedicated to helping the descendants of the victims of American chattel slavery find their ancestors. bristerep.org

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

The Senate Budget Reconciliation bill was changed over the weekend to authorize the selling of 258 million acres of your federal land. The first selloff must be finalized within 30 days, then every 60 days the bill would require more.

Not sure why today is the day I'm motivated to maintain textiles, but the stains are treated, the socks darned, the favorite stripey shirt with a hole on the seam has been mended.

What's the connection between the Monstrous Feminine and the Trickster? Glad you asked...

Fascism has to project terror and violence because in all reality fascism is incredibly brittle and fascist themselves are cowards.

What is the benefit of exploring and EXPRESSING the Personal Myth? This example is powerful. As a teen Eddie found out the man he thought was his father wasn't. He learns the truth after his biodad dies, left to sort through complex feelings writing the song Alive: www.youtube.com/shorts/3VpXb...
