#NationalBadgerDay!

Badger loved to gaze into a moonlit night,
Seeing what he could see in low dancing light.

One glance wasn't enough to take it all in,
And to truly see what was hidden within.

With patience, he studied each shadow, each hue,
And saw more with his heart than his eyes ever knew.

I totally understand and agree. I wasn’t going to ask for your email. If you had said yes, I was going to DM you a BookFunnel link, which is a resource indie authors use to get ebooks out to readers without asking for personal info like emails. But no problem! Thanks again for all your posts 😊

Are you, by chance, a reader? Your posts always mean so much to me - they brighten my spirit every time. I just published a book with my wife (a queer coming-of-age fantasy called Where the Moon Keeps Her Heart), and I would love to send you the ebook as a thank you for all the goodness you share.

You live in the Bay Area, right? I think so from a post you did a while back about a protest. European Sleep Works on Adeline Street in Berkeley sells Oxygen Pillows, which really saved my neck. They come in different thicknesses depending on how you sleep- I think you can try them out in the store.

I am very pleased to share the new cover for my sapphic vampire romance, If the Darkness Had Wings.

Thought-provoking, sensual, and electric.

For fantasy is true, of course. It isn't factual, but it is true.

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.

Walking on twisty paths through waving grasses, shining gold in the last light of the evening sun, leading away into the distant hills. These are the tiny moments in life that bring the hugest pleasure, for those who stop to look, to watch, to notice.

📍 Peak District, England

A twisting path leads through heather spilling over an old stone wall, with a distant view of trees and hills beyond.

Yes, the world is hard, the universities are in trouble, AI is taking over, and fascism is rising: but don't let that stop you from making your life and home an oasis. A place where books, dreams, reason, and kindness can be safe. 🌙

Sometimes you find a little sunny spot & it reminds that times may be challenging & wickedly hard, but there is beauty even if we have to look a little harder...

There's a place for you in this world.
There's a place for you in this country, this city, this neighborhood.
And there's always a place for you in the forest, among the mossy hollows and dark dells, and the creatures that call it home.
