Devastating
Text of the poem “love letter from the afterlife” by Andrea Gibson; white text on a green background “My love, I was so wrong. Dying is the opposite of leaving. When I left my body, I did not go away. That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, but a portal to here. I am more here than I ever was before. I am more with you than I ever could have imagined. So close you look past me when wondering where I am. It’s Ok. I know that to be human is to be farsighted. But feel me now, walking the chambers of your heart, pressing my palms to the soft walls of your living. Why did no one tell us that to die is to be reincarnated in those we love while they are still alive? Ask me the altitude of heaven, and I will answer, “How tall are you?” In my back pocket is a love note with every word you wish you’d said. At night I sit ecstatic at the loom weaving forgiveness into our worldly regrets. All day I listen to the radio of your memories. Yes, I know every secret you thought too dark to tell me, and love you more for everything you feared might make me love you less. When you cry I guide your tears toward the garden of kisses I once planted on your cheek, so you know they are all perennials. Forgive me, for not being able to weep with you. One day you will understand. One day you will know why I read the poetry of your grief to those waiting to be born, and they are all the more excited. There is nothing I want for now that we are so close I open the curtain of your eyelids with my own smile every morning. I wish you could see the beauty your spirit is right now making of your pain, your deep seated fears playing musical chairs, laughing about how real they are not. My love, I want to sing it through the rafters of your bones, Dying is the opposite of leaving. I want to echo it through the corridor of your temples, I am more with you than I ever was before. Do you understand? It was me who beckoned the stranger who caught you in her arms when you forgot not to order…

Yearly reminder:
A Twitter post by @hollycassell that reads: “The best New Year’s resolution I ever made was to start devouring all my nicest things, and save no small pleasure for an unspecified future. Now I burn the good candles, wear the expensive perfume at home, scribble imperfectly in pretty notebooks. You can’t pin joy like a moth.”

“They carol, feast, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And now so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.”

🌥️🌲Happy Solstice🌲✨

A green fox blue fox comic in 4 squares. The first square green fox says, “I will now torture you” and blue fox replies, “kinky.” The second square, green fox says, “I think you are sweet and beautiful.” And blue fox replies, “wait.” Third square green fox says, “you deserve to be cared for as much as you care for others.” And blue fox replies, “no” And in the last square green fox, now leaning over further into blue fox’s space says, “your feelings and needs are valid and deserve to be heard” and blue fox, leaning way back, replies, “I need a safe word.”

I joined #bookstagram in Jan 2022 -> participated in a smutty February challenge -> my kindle record changed irrevocably-> this is what the group chat leads to -> #coldsweat 🌶️📚💙
Content warning before the start of the story “Cold Sweat” by Vera Valentine because it is a niche smut book involving a step sibling/sentient object (pitcher of punch?!) sexcapade. Includes the final sentence, “Don’t put punch up your Georgia O’Keefe.”
