Alaska is a wilderness of expansive and unexplored beauty. Raven spends some time there while sorting their feelings for D, their red-beanie wearing, overalls sporting ex-girlfriend who tends to vanish with the northern lights. - "Together Like Hands on a Clock" - Jo Telle

I wrote this story about dealing with/being in denial about grief during Clarion West 2023. I’m so glad it found a home and I’m so thrilled Tales & Feathers is that home. Hope y’all enjoy it.

Please donate and share this post to help with my surgery recovery! 💜

While I am grateful to be getting surgery, part of me is worried that I’ll be recovering from surgery while my rights are stripped away from me. Needless to say, I could use all the help I can get to ensure a swift & healthy recovery. Please give what you can and know that I am eternally grateful.
