I'm not very good at remembering to advertise. Don't miss the Holiday Book Blowout this weekend! It's at Westbrook outlets on Dec 20 from 11-4. There will be 70 local authors, live music, small businesses, activities for the kids, and food. I hear even Santa's supposed to be there!

Usually, I believe we can and should celebrate a work of art while acknowledging its creators' flaws. We are all flawed beings. Harry Potter is one of my exceptions solely because JK Rowling uses her income to inflict such great harm. When the harm ends, then we can celebrate the art again.
Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

I'm generally skeptical when people talk about people being able to read people's energies and auras. So, when someone today muttered to someone else about my energy being off, I dismissed it as mean-girl stuff.
Four hours later, I had flu symptoms.
So, maybe there's something to it?

Just for fun, here's a comparison of a tiny squirrel I made three years ago with a tiny squirrel I made earlier today but haven't finished yet. I did not think my style had changed so much!

Last reminder - there's a Book Blast this Saturday at Bridgeport University! Go to the Wheeler Center 10am-4pm to see books sold by 100 local authors! Books range from kids to adults fiction and nonfiction, and books range across genres. I will be selling middle grade/YA fantasy/sci-fi. #books

Last reminder of the two Connecticut book fairs coming up! Stop by, meet local authors, and find some winter reading!
If you're following my post for felted critters, these fairs are also one of the best times to get some felting done, so I might have some new critters after this weekend too!

A few new critters! Okay, not that new. The first one is from the summer. The second one I made a year ago, but I only just now gave him eyes.
The mug in the background is a gift from a friend. I never took it from its case because it feels unearned, somehow.

Gonna ask ChatGPT how to rephrase "Fuck off into the sun you fucking fuck" in more formal language.
Are you terse and informal when speaking to an AI chatbot? If so, you might be getting worse answers than if you used more formal language.

Weird thought regarding the SNAP shutdown: in historic times and in various religions, fasting was used to cope when food was scarce. Could we use a similar mechanism as a protest? Especially if we get places of worship involved.

Hi! Sorry I've been away so long - I had to get away from social media for a while. I'll have some felted critters to post soon, but in the meantime, I'm getting ready for 2 book festivals! The first is in Norwalk next weekend, and the second is in Bridgeport the weekend after.

I'll have something more cheerful when I post next. But right now, I'm just tired of my country - and other countries - becoming a little scarier, a little more cruel every day. I'm tired of tracking wars and inhumanity and tracking whose turn it is to be the punching bag.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
