I'm glad we went, but how long will this last us? How long before any of us at the bottom can't afford food? Or until there's nobody inspecting the meat, making sure food is safe, tracking bird flu? What does that even look like?

I mostly live off of eggs, chicken, and fresh salad vegetables. I want to stock up on meat, but we have a tiny freezer. We didn't even buy all that much, and we each spent over $300. It was ludicrous how little that much bought us.

Thank you!

I'm certainly up to doing more Zoom calls either as a consultant, or for a group. There are some things I just can't teach virtually (singing and chanting techniques, or facilitation techniques that require a live group) but we can talk through some things for sure.

I certainly would love to teach more classes again if I can do it in a way that brings in enough money to be worth my time (and almost always, traveling and teaching put me in the hole financially).

I really, really miss teaching on topics of leadership, facilitation, and the rest of it. Pretty much the only teaching I'm doing these days is at Pagan conventions, Mythicon, or events like Gen Con or other geeky events where I can focus my topics on a geeky community vs. a Pagan one.

I honestly didn't know how I was going to keep going with as much of a struggle as it's been lately to wrangle my brain.

I've been waiting about eight months for this appointment, so that was excruciating all on its own. I'm grateful this was the actual assessment.

I love your work! Absolutely in love with your swoopy art nouveau lines :D

We definitely need events here on Bluesky!

I really hope that Bluesky eventually allows for slightly longer posts here. Brevity, not my gift.

The important tasks that would bring in money so I can, you know, pay bills.

With people jumping from Meta products, and with how poorly vending events have done the past year, it's terrifying right now as an author/artist/creative.

This is a link to all my books, so my fiction and nonfic is there as well.

You can buy signed hardcopies from me here. In other categories I have my original art, as well as prints and stickers of my art.

I always have a ton of projects in process. I'm currently working on about 6 different novels, though I've got one paranormal romance that's on the verge of being finished and sent to beta readers. I've also got a good twenty paintings in progress at the moment. :)
