Today Health Minister Simeon Brown wouldn’t say whether he thinks abortion is healthcare.

Requested our library to buy this some months ago - it just arrived yesterday. Very excited to read this new book from Sophie Strand. One of my favourite writers and an excellent inspiration with regards to weaving ecology, myth, life, somatics and more into beautiful lyrical essays and books.

So excited to have come across this book - it's on my list to order once I get paid for some upcoming work.

Today is #worldbookday and I’m over the moon to be spending the day parceling up and posting the first edition copies of my new book Mill Dust and Dreaming Bread - Exploring Scottish Folk Belief and Folk Magic to early Kickstarter backers.

Just went for a ride with Skye to Three Oaks and collected a few acorns. Also collected 9 hazelnuts when I got home (Conla's Well and the salmon of knowledge, anybody?) all added to my altar - a mix of mainly seasonal things and ancestors. Spot the peeking pumpkins underneath 😅
Two large oak trees beside a rural road, with paddocks behind. There are small mountains in the distance and the sky is pastel evening colours. A photo of Tūīs altar. There is a lit salt lamp, a vine extending across the table, several black and white photographs, some rocks and pieces of wood, acorns, hazelnuts, and two small dog figurines. On the shelf underneath there are some dark green pumpkins just visible.

If you are a NZ author, I urge you to check the LibGEN database to see if your books have been scrapped by Meta. If so, the NZSA is collecting names (and book titles) in preparation for an international class action lawsuit. #NZWrites #WritingCommunity authors.org.nz/books-scrape...

Stay Calm and Stack Rocks

#rockstacking
Two small rocks are balanced one atop the other, both on another larger rock. There is a river in the blurry background

The storm has an eye, the apocalypse has a heart ❤️

Key skills required to remain in the heart of the apocalypse:

- kindness
- poetic thinking
- imagination
- storytelling
- connection
- great questions
- forgiveness
- humility
- humour

Excited for this!

weekly reminder that i have a book coming out on july 29 called THE MEMORY HUNTERS and it's about museum ethics and who has the right to tell your story, plus memory-storing mushrooms!

Please preorder to 1) support me and 2) lock in pre-tariff pricing

www.charisbooksandmore.com/book/9781645...
The cover of THE MEMORY HUNTERS by Mia Tsai. THE MEMORY HUNTERS is written in white text in three rows, each word claiming its own row. The focus of the cover is a tree branch grown over with red-and-white mushrooms and clusters of ferns drawn in a botanical illustration style; on a dark red background behind are polypores, branches, and leaves traced in golden lines. On the bottom right of the image is "Mia Tsai" in dull yellow text.

#currentlyreading The Fifth Season by @nkjemisin.bsky.social
I've only just started but I think I'll be reading this whole series! Astounded I somehow hadn't heard of this book or author until last week.

This is my Very Handsome Dog, Skye. She is a Blue Heeler x, loves licks above anything else, then tug, then fetch. Recently learnt to swim and has been enjoying her new fun activity

New to this land of Bluesky. Seeking quality accounts to surround myself with... author, writer, poet, dog lover, ADHD, AuDHD, folklore, mythology, adventure, tramping (that's hiking), walking, biking, journey, pagan, druid, songlore, connected ancestry, decolonisation, liberation, qi gong, yoga...

I don't really have a ritual, but I'm trying to build one! The closest thing to ritual at the moment is when I decide to write, I often make myself a cup of tea, set it on the desk in front of me, and don't drink it 😅
