Literally sitting here most of the day reading and writing comments, looking through stuff that’s been posted, and my fiancé leans over and goes “good for you, babe, being in the community again.”
And yeah, it is good 😌

This 2018 episode covers the period in the late 1820s when north Georgia became the site of a gold rush that predated the California gold rush by two decades. It's also tied to some of the darkest parts of US history regarding the treatment of Native Americans.

I’m out of the loop everywhere, work is a mess, and holiday anxiety has me by the effing throat rn.
But I did get to wild a sword like a ballet dancer today. So. Not all bad.
Yes, we did do small theater The Nutcracker in the woods today. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

116 years ago a bunch of working class women changed the world because they got together and fought for their rights. Their fight is still our fight.

How is it that no one in the wedding process wants to address my fiancé? Only me?
Not our vendors.
Not our parents.
Literally everything comes to me. He’s not even CC’d on it. It’s all my responsibility because I’m the bride.
I would like to not be the bride. I would like to be “the couple.” 🙃

I actually came up with a holiday themed name. I actually did it. I was mildly festive for 5 minutes and I did it! 😂

There is a place that splits the worlds. Primordial. Innate. Organic.
We have felt it since the dawn of time. In marrow of bones and velvet sinew. A small, bright spot in the very water of our brains.

I’m going to sit here, planning a story with 22 chapters, over 140k words, knowing it’s going to just gather virtual dust.
