Timeline cleanse

Hunh. Having an odd moment that only other #creativewriters and #solarpunk s will get. I've got one book in a solarpunk series done, and it's getting finishing touches. Today it hit me: the next book is going to be a sweet, kind, healing story. About reintroducing prairie dogs. Of all the things...

Okay. While I'm on a music binge. THIS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=93DA... When I was a little kid, my great grandad from Donegal sang the original. It was the song that made me understand his history. This version, for this time, makes me want to raise my head and my hand. #noice #nofascistusa #iceout

If you need some fire today, give this a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-66...

This Langston Hughes poem is relevant af.

Where you see evil, stop evil. #resist #noice Artist made the original post

@theonion.com is so worth the subscription for this

Counting a little win today: I got a great critique on my current solarpunk manuscript, and this is the first time in my career that my reaction was 'oh AWESOME this fixes that annoying weird story element, let's write!' and not 'oh no so much work so much fail'. Good brain! *pats* Art by Laya Rose

THE ARCHITECTURE OF US — what survives the body We are not built of breath alone. Our #bones hoard centuries— load-bearing memory, ancestral weather, the stubborn calculus of standing upright after history tries to fold us. Flesh improvises; skeletons remember.

This gave me CHILLS.

Hey #writingcommunity, which are you liking better these days: BackerKit or Kickstarter? What's your experience? #writingcommunity #artsky #authorsandeditors

A little story of men with big guns, big tear gas canisters, and little...well you get the idea ;) www.closertotheedge.net/p/the-dildo-...

As part of the season, I begin a work of light on Imbolc. Through the year, I burn candles in bowls. The wax from each bowl is saved in an out of the way storage area when the candles burn down. Come Imbolc, the wax begins the process of becoming next year's candles. #circularsky #witchsky

Here's a scene from the upcoming work, The New Deal Book 1: Make The Deal

*wicked grin* When Aidan gets assigned to turn Unit 1407 around, he had no idea that he'd find the love of his life in <redacted>, his own strength, a found family, and a life worth living. More than that, he had no idea he'd be part of the community <redacted> actions that take down the Corps.

Hm...okay it's both easy and REALLY HARD. Easy to avoid ruining each book, but hard because the selling point is 'spoilers, things get better, communities win, and the fash-corps come down in the end.' My series is all about writing what I fear for our future, and then writing our way out of it.

Heya #QueerWritersChat! ! I'm Olivia. Biracial, bisexual, blue streak in my hair. Under my own name I write illustrated ethnobotany. Under O.E. Tearmann I write about escaping dystopia. Right now I've got a hopeful queer get-out-of-cyberpunk series out, and I'm working on a YA solarpunk.

Heads up #writingcommuntiy #booksky! Amphibian Press is closing due to changes in the owner's life. So if you know a press that would like to pick up a complete spec fic adventure series with strong LGBT rep and a punk rock vibe, I'm looking for a new press! Link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZ7MLYP

This is the way.

Q6: #WeeknightWriters If I find a new publisher by May, I'll offer them a new YA solarpunk series, book 1 completed and cover supplied. If not, I'll run a Kickstarter and self pub in July.

We're all trying to get by, in our own way. And if your way involves books, strong tea, and secret meetings with the old gods in the mossy end of the forest, so much the better.

Q4: What can you do in the next week to make your life a little more pleasant? #WeeknightWriters Get enough sleep. Get out for a walk. Watch some edifying and uplifting documentaries And then get to the keyboard and start changing the world!

Q3: Let's cheer things up a bit! What has brought you joy in the past week? Remember, no joy is too small! #WeeknightWriters I watched David Attenborough's Wild London, and the way cities are beginning to be multi-species habitats full of life and wonder expands my heart ❤️

Q2: #WeeknightWriters This week's a big struggle. My current publisher is closing down. So if you know a small press that would like to pick up a complete spec fic adventure series with strong LGBT rep and a punk rock vibe, I'm looking for a new publisher! Link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZ7MLY...

Q1: How are you holding up this week? #WeeknightWriters I'm mixed, but oddly optimistic. A lot of change is happening, and that feels daunting. But it's exciting too. There's a chance for new opportunities and new friends around the corner.

A triad for the turn towards spring. #witchsky #imbolc Art is my own

Imbolc, if you translate it out of Irish, means 'in the belly' (though some like to translate it to 'butter in the belly') The name pinpoints the reason for the celebration. Now the first lambs are born, the first fresh milk of the year is flowing, and the cows are in calf. Life revives. Art is mine

Brigid's Charm Art is my own.

Brigid's table is laid for the turning of the year. Milk for the fullness of life, hazelnuts for the knowing and whiskey for the inspiration. A cauldron full of possibilities in the form of this year's garden seeds. Her crosses, old and new, are laid. The door was unlocked for Her before dawn.

May Imbolc bring three things The wit of the bard The strength of the craftsman The tenacity of the smith To imagine the work To begin the work To see the work through May there be a flame within you that is undying #witchsky #imbolc #candlemas Art by Miss Wondersmith

Happy #Imbolc, ushered in by Brigid and her hare. Nature is stirring, there’s a full moon. The winter is ebbing away. The seeds scattered last year are waking up. Pat yourself on the back , you’ve made it through another winter.

Tonight is Saint Brigid's Night, and tomorrow is Imbolc, the day of the Lady of the Spark. It's the night to feel change in the air, the day to feel spring stir beneath your feet. Let the fires be lit. Pour the milk and whiskey. The winds of change are blowing. Art by Elaine Bayley

The days are dark. But dawn will come. Today the year is turning. Seeds in the earth are stirring. People are raising their heads. Time for change. Artwork: Sowing Stars by Valera Lutfullina

#nokings #iceout Denver marched tonight to say one thing: ICE OFF OUR STREETS!

Oh indeed. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

For my friends who are saying 'can I just go live on an island somewhere...'

Freedomsaur is not amused.

#nokings Robin Hood has a message for you.

when I said I didn't know how we would defeat fascism in America but I knew, however it went down, it would be uniquely American... this is it... youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

Pay attention to the stories you are being told. Pay attention to the stories you are telling.

There's something uniquely soothing about watching documentaries on the frigid Artic with a cup of hot tea and a blanket. (image credit Planet Earth III)

I know most of yall already know but another share can’t hurt rn www.patheos.com/blogs/tempes...
