Feeling relief and a small sliver of hope that the Supreme Court isn't hearing the latest challenge to gay marriage

Love to deal with crazy fatigue all day (as in can-barely-walk fatigue) only to not be able to fall asleep 😑

Dealing with intense fatigue today and it’s like my head is haunted. I don’t have real thoughts, just ghosts of them

Dealing with intense fatigue today and so I started a rewatch of AHS: Season 1 and I’m so obsessed with all of these women. I know this is trash but I love it #Horror #HorrorSky

Being a writer is crazy. What do you mean this is the thing I love doing more than anything but I keep procrastinating? #writing

If you're in the Twin Cities area, I'm having a lil book signing and celebration of the 1 year book birthday of "Queering the Runes" on Sunday. If you haven't attended a Queering the Runes workshop yet, I'm also teaching! Register here: thefuturempls.com/collections/... #HeathenSky

Former shelter worker and former homeless person coming to you with a stern warning

Honestly now I'm thinking a lot about the art of adaptation, how you can change things between the mediums (like, from book to movie, etc.) but there need to be certain things that remain the same. I might have a blog post or something brewing about that

Ok now that I watched Frankenstein I need to rewatch 2024 Nosferatu. There was just something *off* about Nosferatu when I saw it in theatres, but it's so stunning visually that I want to watch it again. I remember not being a huge fan of the script, and felt that casting Hoult ... #Horror

AI feels not only like as humans we are collectively failing the Stanford Prison Experiment only with an extra gross step where those of us holding the line are also being mocked and ostracized.

The sexual tension between working on my book and writing new classes 🫦

As soon as “Frankenstein” opened on a ship caught in the ice in The Arctic I was like “holy shit it’s actually a MOTHERFUCKING ADAPTATIONNNNN” The movie was so good. I will be thinking about this for a LONG time

I get to go see Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein in movie theatres tonight and I am VIBRATING out of my skin excited #HorrorSky

Honestly Sahan Journal is so good and important. They've put out a detailed, interactive map of the 2025 Minneapolis Mayoral Race. Having lived in Mpls for nearly 20 years I can eyeball this and already see some trends sahanjournal.com/democracy-po...

Sending out my paid sub-only newsletter this afternoon. This time I'm walking through a passion project spread from "Lessons from the Empress." The cards I got? Judgment, The Tower, Death 😬 No wonder this is only for my paid subs this is a lot to handle! Join here: sirivincentplouff.ghost.io

😂

HELL YEAH MAMDANI!!! (Still waiting on Mpls mayoral results, ranked choice voting is awesome but it is slow)

Wrote a small (micro) reflection on Lore Books as today is our last day in business. If you wanna read it, check out my Ghost site: sirivincentplouff.ghost.io/out-with-a-b...

HAPPY NEW FLORENCE + THE MACHINE ALBUM TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE

My best friend’s brother is a trans man and he died tragically this week. she’s raising money for his funeral. Pls help me help their family. www.gofundme.com/f/honor-tann...

Romantasy authors stop referring to fae as "males" or "females" challenge level: impossible. I kind of understand where it comes from (fae aren't human, therefore not "men and women") but damn I hate it. If I ever write romantasy I'm queering the hell outta this

The card I pulled from the Woodland Wardens deck today is “satisfaction” - or the turtle and coriander. It’s been an extremely hard week personally, and this card is challenging me to understand that satisfaction is still possible. That I’m not a failure. My homework: list things I’m proud of

HEY GREAT NEWS! I am trying out Calendly for 45 min tarot reading options. Check it out - November is wide open so far! cassandra-snow.com/specialreadi...

Of COURSE as soon as I make a big transition from Kit to Ghost Patreon announces a newsletter feature 🫠 I still want an open source option that pays me more, so it's fine, but the timing is just so frustrating

The online live course THE BASICS OF ANIMISM begins today. The lectures will be recorded and available for those who can't make it :-) Enlist through linktree or website.

Welp, I've already had two job search crash outs so here's hoping THAT'S outta the way

Many food banks also accept & distribute cat and dog food. Many rescues & shelters also have food pantries. (This is also important, because many people will cut back on quality & volume of food they eat. In order to keep their pets safe at home.) ❤️

If you have the money, donate CASH to food banks!! If you want to donate food, think about donating food that might be harder to access or allergy-friendly foods. Even switching up donating almond butter instead of peanut butter is helpful because of how common peanut allergies are!

"We resist the imposition of AI musicians by supporting local musicians. We go to local shows. We get together with friends to imperfectly play instruments and sing songs. We resist the rise of AI authors by uplifting the local storytellers in our community."

It is hard to make art while fascism is on the rise, but it is also imperative to make art. I've been thinking about the need to slow down, take my time, get embodied during my writing practice, and not to put too much pressure on the quality of my work

Writing my next paid newsletter diving in to the tarot spreads in my first book "Lessons from the Empress: A tarot workbook for self-care & creative growth" and this one's a doozy. I pulled a quick 3-card passion project spread and got Oops! All Major Arcana 😬 Sub here: sirivincentplouff.ghost.io

Today has been a day of many horrors of navigating health insurance and so as a treat I am reading the book about the dangerous crow boy whose job it is to destroy plastic

I took Captolia's Brand Archetype Quiz and I think I broke it 😅 I got 33% Magician, 33% Sage, and 33% Innocent. Follow me for whimsical knowledge seeking and transformation! If you're curious, learn more here: www.thedigitalwitch.com/brand-archet...

Created a new Pinterest account yesterday because I felt like a fresh start. Immediately turned off the AI. Pinterest is like my comfort blanket. I was so sad when I started seeing AI slop everywhere on there. So glad they gave us an option to turn AI off, and I hope it stays that way.

Finally, here's the application for our 2026 cohort for people who are seeking an appointment or to run for a local library board seat in their community: forms.gle/RuTxVLjvnX8K... - We are having a virtual open house in early December for folks who want to learn more.

I do nawt want to go to work today. I want to stay home and write. Funnily enough, when I AM actually underemployed I can‘t write because of the money anxiety. Vicious cycle innit

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

One thing I've been thinking about a lot lately is what it would actually take to orchestrate a general strike. And maybe it's just my water/earth sign combo that has me answering resource distribution. Let me explain.

Folk horror has long connection with the seasons, so I can't wait to present a second running of DARKNESS IN THE FIELDS: MIDWINTER this December! And a great line-up incoming too... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/darkness-i... #folkhorror #folkhorror #events #midwinter

This is important! Markey is running for reelection against a “generational change” Democrat whose position on trans rights is cynical wishy-washiness. It matters that his response hasn’t been to “moderate his position.”

Happy No Kings Day to all who celebrate Stay safe out there

I've recently moved my newsletter to Ghost, which will replace both my personal website and my former newsletter. I'll be continuing my series revisiting Tarot spreads from "Lessons from the Empress" on the paid version as well as on my Patreon. Check it out! sirivincentplouff.ghost.io

I don’t know how but in the last few years Twilight somehow became a comfort watch? Weird but ok

I need to practice baking Lussekatter before December. Santa Lucia Day is a really lovely new observance I’ve taken up in recent years

Cleaning + Blasting Bronski Beat is a vibe lemme tell you

Today's the day! I'm switching my newsletter from Kit to Ghost! Check it outttt: sirivincentplouff.ghost.io

Man, I am tearing up so much about the release of hostages and potential ceasefire in Palestine. It almost doesn't feel real. But I am feeling tentatively hopeful.

Today’s vibe: Doc appointment am, Johnny Cash on the speakers, cleaning house

At this point I've tried to listen to TLOAS three times and I just keep getting the ick. The conservative/alt right pipeline is just too clear here. This album feels icky with the ICE raids in Chicago, Israel's atrocities against Palestine, and more. I just don't care about billionaires in love.
