Yes, peeps, it is me again because $2.99 is a STEAL for the ebook (w/ bk 2 next month, no less!)

Writing The Witch Roads in 2022 reignited my love of writing after a rough period when I thought I should just quit. All else aside, this book is about finding joy in the small graces of the world

Kate Elliott @kateelliottsff.bsky.social · 3d

Illustration of a white skull partially obscured by colorful mushrooms and plants. Different fungi sprout from and around the skull, including red mushrooms with white spots, yellow fan-shaped mushrooms, gray cluster mushrooms, and orange bulbous mushrooms, with green and purple plants filling the background. A ribbon at the bottom of the skull reads “ADMIT ONE.”

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

Fairbanks is one place I have in mind if I ever committed to moving to Alaska. I know the Denali range is pretty far south, but it’s the aurora I’m obsessed with. This doesn’t hurt my consideration of what I had read was a pretty purple district.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.
