Korean fried rice and chai for breakfast as I read research for lost daughter, my in progress novel about a white teen girl who falls in love with a Filipino soldier during world war 2. She gets pregnant, her family secretly sends her away to a maternity home and forces her to give up her daughter.

Once a week I take my son Benny for riding lessons. His trainer says that her goal is to have him riding independently. She doesn't see his Down syndrome or autism, she sees a boy who loves to ride and who is capable. Best part of my day.

Cats are somehow both the proletariat and the bourgeoisie
They defy all attempts at categorization and just sit on top of the ontological imperative, and stare at you

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Sitting on my porch drinking tea and reading a David Sedaris book checked out from the library is a great way to start the day.

This is my 4th year creating an astrological calendar with my artwork. I look ahead through the year and mark significant astrological turnings, making it easy to tend to the day-keeping ceremony and ritual. It is also a mini gallery of my artwork, holding time with beauty.
