Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. The first time I heard about it was in 2016 when Jeff was the Trias Writer-in-Residence at Hobart-Wiiliam Smith College and we were living in Geneva, NY.

It's such a beautiful night. I just have to be outside and take a walk.

Currently reading GIRL WARRIOR by Joy Harjo. This passage especially speaks to me today.

The cats of Gozo. Orange cat was spotted at a Neolithic structure. I wanted to get a better photo so I put my purse and cap down. They immediately sat in the cap!

Second cat lured me with their charms while I was eating lunch. Yes, yes...I gave them some fish. OK, I admit it: more than some. 🙃

Here in Valletta, Malta with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social and @goblindegook.bsky.social (photo by Luis). Guess which one is me? 😉

Hello, Malta! My first time in your beautiful country and I'm so happy to be here. Looking forward to meeting the writers who will be attending my workshop on Saturday.

We bought some terrific chocolates. These are the passionfruit dark chocolates. Yum! 😋

I promised you chocolate shop photos today and I'm hoping this does not disappoint. Only took photos at one shop: Cedric et la Chocolaterie. There was a line & I hesitated but @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social encouraged me. It was worth it!

Today I am planning to photograph the windows of chocolate stores. So excited! Stay tuned for more. But in the meantime, enjoy this beautiful display of fruit.

At Utopiales, @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social is being interviewed by Jerome Vincent. The audience is packed. SRO.

This beautiful cheese shop almost had me in tears. The owner was very knowledgeable and explained so much about each cheese when we asked. Yes, yes, too many were purchased, but how could we resist? Honestly, I consider this an art form (just wait until I share chocolate photos).

One of the sights I am enjoying at Utopiales.

Here's @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social at Utopiales in Nantes, France talking about writing weird fiction, one of my favorite subjects.

Excited to share the French edition of Sisters of the Revolution. Isn't it beautiful?

Look what just arrived! The latest novel by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I can't wait to dive in. (Also, I've been told that I *may* be a character in the book. I hope I don't come to an unfortunate end 🙃).

I have to break down a bunch of cardboard boxes today. Luckily I am equipped with this cat paw box cutter that my son @kennedycasting gave me.

Hello, my friends! Look what I have! This magnificent book by Marty Cahill was released a few weeks ago. I pre-ordered it but wasn't able to pick it up until today. I can't wait to dive in. Congratulations, Marty! 🎉🥳

Many have told me they miss my 'On The Turntable Now' posts. You're in luck! I plan to resume very soon. These may become part of a larger project. Music soothes my soul and reminds me of who I am.

Walking the circle this morning and the birds were out of control! Maybe because there are storms predicted for this afternoon.
