BLOOD publishes today! 🧛🏻♂️🦇🌕🩸 I’m feeling as if I’m on a rollercoaster, speeding (and looping) through several different emotions, the most prominent of which are fear and incredulous happiness. But I’m also proud of BLOOD and can’t wait for you to read it or listen to it.

Shout out to @dancarpenter.bsky.social who, when I told him the next thing I'd written was 140k words long, was like: yeah, sure, why not.
This is a bit mad, and I'm terribly fond of all the weirdos that live inside the mist, where you can never be sure which side is up and which is down. 🌀🌫️🌀

Things are powerfully bad right now, bleak business in and around every corner, so I feel like I need to counterbalance just a little, just a touch, with a daily nature pic for a while. So today's pic is a cheeky little red-eyed vireo in a magnolia tree. Photo by me.
