Okay, that was some serious pre-Halloween goodness. The corn maze murder mystery, the u-pick pumpkin patch, and the u-cut flower fields were a blast! October is off to a great start!#halloween

Going with Scarecrow Casual for this evening’s corn maze. I’m also practicing my spooky face…I feel like I’m letting my goth past down. #halloween

I know it soothes him, but it seriously tickles. Also, I am just realizing I have hobbit feet… #dogsofbluesky

They’re psychopaths. Seriously. This is way past normal.

The rain has stenciled fallen leaves on the sidewalk. #autumn

At Trader Joe’s post morning workout to help Benjamin have a better evening (his schedule is crazy today). It’s a simple equation: Halloween Beer + Halloween Candy + More Mushroom Tacos = Happy Hubby.#husbandgoals #halloween #october See? I can do math when it matters. Take that, Mrs.

7 am workout feels like it’s coming insanely early this morning, and I really feel like half-assing this session. But my PT is a hockey-playing deer hunter who came to work right after a hockey puck broke his nose—so I’m not expecting any mercy. #fitnessgoals

I think I’m in love with this jacquard shirt jacket.

Literally the best thing I’ve ever made and the best freaking tacos I’ve ever eaten—and it’s not even close. And that avocado-mint-tomatillo salsa is next level. Scroll through for process pics and to see how worried Leia was when I shredded those beautiful King Oyster Mushrooms.

This is how you do it!

Today's meditation is all about the wisdom that comes from surviving hardship, the drawing of boundaries, and the necessary inclusion of logic and intellect when confronted by someone else's strong emotions. #tarot #tarotmeditation

Just one question: Is her face on purpose? #lindsayhalligan #fuckmaga #resist

Almost 2 pints of Mango-Habanero Taco Sauce made this morning. Vegan Taco Night, anyone? How about tonight? #vegan #mexicanfood

I cannot express the joy that comes from a freshly made pint of the flavor bomb that is Smokey Chili Oil. After it infuses for another 8 hours, I’ll strain and refrigerate it and probably do a little dance. #cooking #cuisine

Officially the best Lasagna al Forno I’ve ever made—and it’s freaking vegan. #lasgana #vegan #italianfood

The traditional post-poetry reading/pre-hurricane Lasagna al Forno (vegan version) ready to go into the oven for lunch. Is that a thing? Well, it is now. #vegan #hurricaneimelda #poetry

This sleepy girl right here. #dogsofbluesky #princessleia

Fucking monsters.

Vegan Dan Dan Noodles with Sesame-Garlic Kale. Not too shabby. #vegan #vegancuisine #szechuancuisine

Finally watched The Wicker Man (1973). Good film, but wow is Edward Woodward’s character annoying. I was squarely on the side of the islanders within the first 5 minutes. Plus, everybody loves a bonfire, right?🔥 #halloween #thewickerman #horror

And so it begins…the War on Halloween. And before my grandmother is even out of her grave. The very nerve! #everydayishalloween #halloween

It’s finally cardigan weather! Well, at least until Wednesday… but still. #autumn #sweaterweather

My newest poem is up at Second Coming. I’m honored to be part of this important project. #poetry #resist https://open.substack.com/pub/secondcoming/p/second-coming-no-246-september-22?r=1e5wwp&utm_medium=ios

The roses are complete show offs this morning. They know autumn is nearly here. #rose #flowers #autumnalequinox #bloomscrolling

So much this.

Just had a wonderful evening with 2 of the best people on this planet, Bobbi Fitzsimmons and Carolyn Faulkner. I made roasted beet soup, ribboned root vegetable salad on a tahini yogurt base, roasted butternut squash lasagna, and pumpkin snickerdoodles with chai lattes.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom signs legislation to ban face coverings for federal agents.

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

My friend Alysia Abbott’s beautiful book about her father has been turned into a beautiful film with Sofia Coppola at the helm. Get this one on your radar. Fairyland begins its release rollout in October. #films #booksky #LGBTQ

Sibling Rivalry Press is proud to host the Arkansas Queer Poet Series. Its mission is to highlight LGBTQ poets with a connection to our home state of Arkansas. We’re thrilled to welcome two additions to AQPS - JC Andrews & Toni Garcia-Butler! ❤️ #poetry www.siblingrivalrypress.com/arkansasquee...

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

I’m beginning to think that he and Schumer are owned by the Republicans. I know Fetterman is.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

Fascism running rampant in our country.

Announced yesterday: my poem “The Immigrant and the Buck Moon” was awarded one of 4 LGBTQ+ writer’s residencies at The Desert Rat Residency in the Coachella Valley next year! I couldn’t be more grateful.🏳️‍🌈 #poetry #lgbtqpoetry #gay #desertratresidency

If I had any doubts born out of some romantic notion of tradition about the need to free Britain from its parasitic monarchy, they are gone. Charles and Camilla putting on this opulent, disgusting display for America’s Dictatorial and Fascistic Hitler-wannabe leader has left no doubt. #nokings

Not sure how I already have 20 new poems that are keepers (18 of which are under submission or already published) after so long away, but I am beyond grateful. It feels like I’m home again. #poetry #thelunaticsgrimoire

This morning’s cut is less of a meditation and more of a promise of social gatherings, camaraderie, happiness, family, and sudden windfalls. And, most importantly, petting dogs. Yes, please. #tarot #mediation #neopagan

WARNING: THIS LITERARY JOURNAL CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY/QUEER POETRY including SEX, LOVE, RAGE, HUMOR, SPIRITUALITY, FUCKERY, and JOY. ASSARACUS IS BACK! #gaypoetry #queerpoetry #gayart #vintagegay #queerart siblingrivalrypress.bigcartel.com/product/assa...

Looks like the radiology mascot at Wilmington Health has had better summers.

The manner of a man’s death, however brutal, does not absolve him of his actions and words in life. Also, release the Epstein Files. #resist #notahero #epsteinfiles

It’s Monday. Call your senators and reps, especially those who voted to suppress the Epstein Files. Tell them you will not vote for people who protect pedophiles. Tell them that people who cover for pedophiles are complicit in pedophilia. #resist #epsteinfiles #impeachtrump #lockhimup

Finally (and just in the nick of time given the state of the world) I can actually “clutch the pearls” the next time I hear shocking news. Freshwater, but still. #pearls #manbling #gay #kompsos

This is the man the nation lowered its flags for. This is the man Trump will award the Medal of Freedom to. This is the man they want to build a statue of. This is how far we've regressed. This is how far we've fallen. #resist

What a long and horrific year last week was.

Don’t call it a comeback (Assaracus = October!) #gaypoetry #queerpoetry
