To the moon,
Who loves so selflessly,
That it wakes up to darkness every night
For the waves that rely on its pull
And the mad dreamers who rely on its light

@katebitchell.bsky.social (Kate Mitchell) did a great job on the cover art for my debut poetry collection in 2023. Though my cover is a digital illustration, she usually does stunning prints.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Now more than ever it’s critical to think about how your time and money is being spent. Meta, X, etc. will suffer from having inactive users. Business will suffer if you stop spending your money (as seen with McDonald’s/Starbucks boycotts for 🍉).

Your words are spells. Be careful of the negativity that seeps into your language. Guarding your thoughts and the words you speak is one of the most basic forms of protection. #witchsky

If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.
