News is coming to me via friends on Facebook, and via Fancyclopedia, that John Varley, who wrote Millennium, Steel Beach, and the Gaea trilogy (Titan, Wizard, Demon) has died. He was an excellent writer in the Campbell/Heinlein tradition, and I dug him a lot in my teens and early 20s. RIP.

A lifelong education in mental seek and find leaves a burnout the shape of a mammoth's daymare. Yet I feel myself ascend on occasion. The specifics of trauma are a cluster of fogs but they dissipate in the love I'm gifted by the dancing circle and my gratitude for self. #emoetry #vss365 #poetry

Twenty years ago, I was telling my parents: "That's not special effects, by the way... that's what Bush actually said." Nowadays, I ask everyone, of most of the footage or video content that's shared with me: "Is that... Is that... Do you think that's real?"

UPDATE! 🌹🎉 I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99 Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy! #Fantasy #Author

The beetles and roaches that once crawled on my prone body are now liberated from their march. I have risen from my death bed of thorns. Pale hands trace the outline of old friends and wave them goodbye. I drink coffee as I think of paper planes with poems writ on each one. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
