Hey, Blue Sky has pinned posts now!
I'm Vale Nagle, and I write queer naturepunk epic creature fantasy novels. If you've always wanted a series with gryphons based on sand cats, vampire finches, saber-toothed tigers, giant otters, or hooded pitohui, I'm your author.

I was searching the upstairs closet for a lightbulb and I came across what is basically the "queer Millennial who likes to read starter pack."
Gotta say, I didn't realize I still had any Silver Gryphon t-shirts left. Takes me back to being a teenager =]

On Tumblr, I got a message along the lines of: "Oh my gosh, I didn't know this series went past three books! I used to read these back in middle school and I'm at art college now."
Which made me realize...
-I should promote myself sometimes.
-It's been almost seven years since Eyrie released??

Seeing things like this Tumblr notification is why we indie creatives have to post constantly about our work, because no matter how much we *think* we do, you’ll inevitably get fans who are just learning today that a book came out three months ago 😅

Every time it snows, my cat gives me a face like "maybe the outdoor cats* could be indoor cats* just for one night?" and I always say no.

if either of my attempts had succeeded, I would have just been another ‘male’ suicide statistic
Furthermore these figures are underestimates. If Alice had died at her first OD her death wouldn’t have been recorded as a trans death. How many other child suicides are deaths of trans people who’ve not yet come out to hostile family or came out and were abused, with their identity denied in death?
Thank you GLP for exposing Appleby’s report, a report the UK government repeatedly used to accuse trans people, and those that love them, of exaggerating and thereby ⬆️ the risk of suicide in trans people.
Removing health care ⬆️ risk. Abuse ⬆️ risk. Conversion practices ⬆️ risk. Gaslighting ⬆️ risk.

insane to me that I live in a wealthy country, I was born in a tiny village, and I’ve had a pretty sedate life, and yet in just 46 years I’ve counted more deaths than I have fingers and toes several times over, all because I’m a trans woman in community with trans women

I'm so used to medical stuff being chaotic and stressful since November's Medicaid changes that the hematologist today caught me off guard with how straightforward she was. "They want you on IVIG, which is a clot risk, so they sent here? And you're on blood thinners? Seems fine to me."

"Don't worry... sshhh... it's alright, let's get you inside and warmed up" The gryphon says after he thankfully finds you alive, lost in the northern Maine woods, wrapping you in his winged arms as he helps you to your feet.

Grey heron/sighthound griffon. They're not a character or anything, but are something I've drawn a few times at this point-it's a fun combination, all neck and legs and limbs everywhere

If you are still looking for a Valentine's gift, I have some items in the shop that would be perfect. I just put up a few extra crows and pigeons as well as capybaras and sakura bonsais.

Me: (Singing quietly to myself.)
Woman at gym: "Whatcha singing?"
Me: "Oh! Jesus Christ Superstar."
Stranger: "Practicing for like an all-lesbian performance?"
I cannot stop thinking about this. Who is the Carl Anderson of female singers? The Ted Neeley? Is this a thing people do? Could it be??

I was counting on my Kickstarter money to help pay my rent this month, but it’s delayed. And that means I’m behind on rent.
I hate asking for help (I’d much rather be the one doing the help), but I’m stuck in this position again.
Many thanks in advance to any helpers.

Since December, we've had a Quantum repair guy out here every other week failing to fix the internet, and while the whole bake cookies, meet and greet aspect of getting acquainted with new people who become fascinated by the issue is fun... I think it's time to see what their competitors' charge.

I feel so bad for anyone trying to have hobbies in a cozy murder mystery town like Cabot Cove.
Oh, your Competitive Knitting Team is down two people but Father Brown, Miss Marple, and Jessica Fletcher have offered to step in?
Cancel the competition and never knit again or end up murdered =(
