The problem is people think you need to be an optimist to get through hard times but really you just need to be spiteful af

Forever, how to put it—like sails on a ship turned outward, bracingly, flushed like downward petals—wind against leaves against waves. Forever, but like tides. In and out and in again. The pull at my navel. The sinking.

Please follow if you’d like to read a book about a priestess who leaves the sanctuary of the abbey she was raised in and is forced into a reality of Gods and politics that differs starkly from what she’d be taught.

Draft one of book is officially complete at 85,000 words. Grateful for the experience, would 100% have written it differently if I was doing it again but it is ready for editing!

If I never finish writing my book I can avoid editing it forever, right? RIGHT??!!?

It was hard today, but I met my goal. Will have to go back and add worldbuilding and fix continuity errors later. Point is…the story is unfolding.

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

Might be the most shameful moment of this Presidency so far. Zelensky vs two of Putin's attack dogs.

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

“You’re terminated because…?”

Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.

DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.
