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

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*

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.

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.

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.
Welcome to #QueerWritersChat!
To start things off, introduce yourself and tell us what you're working on! No links, please!
Next question at :15! There are 10 minutes between questions.

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!

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.

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.
