Sharing some song art again. It really warmed my heart when someone asked me to sing this song at a zoom filk. #SciFiChat #filk #music

Good food fresh from my garden. Cucumbers and various tomato varieties, with sweet chili sauce for dressing.

I tired myself out doing the recording and mixing, and forgot to share the rest of my song art from my new album, Time Capsule, out on Bandcamp. (wylddandelyon.bandcamp.com/album/time-c...)

There's more music there too. #FAWM #filk #music #scifi

Another bit of song art from the album I released today on Bandcamp.

Here's a little more song art. Friendship is reputed to be light and effortless, like dandelion seeds flying through the air. But that isn't always true, especially at first. There are skills to learn, and for some of us, that learning isn't easy. #filk #neurodivergent #art #music

Here is today's song art. Fosterling is my song for Antryg Windrose, Barbara Hambly's male hero from The Silent Tower. Since I didn't have any suitable photos handy, I painted a tower.

I think it came out ok! #filk #music #art

This song will be on my Time Capsule album, out on Bandcamp Aug 1.

Here's my Bandcamp: wylddandelyon.bandcamp.com

And my most recent Patreon post: www.patreon.com/posts/dream-...

And today's effort at making cover art for one of my songs--I think this song is very much about a neurodivergent character.

Between FAWM and putting a few songs up on Bandcamp as singles, I started making "cover art" for each song.

I sacrificed a few jars and bottles for this song, and I'm pretty pleased with the result. This is one of the songs on my Time Capsule album, comiing out August 1. #filk #folk #music

I've been quiet here lately because I'm working on a new album, to be titled Time Capsule--all songs I wrote before the turn of the century. Here is the photo I found to use to make the album cover. #filk #music #scifi

Look for it on wylddandelyon.bandcamp.com on August 1.

Dreams can become real!

My #SciFy this week:

We resumed watching Andor. I also caught the new #murderbot - related short story about Perihelion and the new Penric and Desdemona story. So much fun!

And recording old songs--for the next Bandcamp Friday I'm putting out an album of songs I wrote a loooong time ago. #filk

Roses in Spring

Thorns surive winter
Spiky sharp against the sky
Leaves start to hide them

No flower buds, yet
But we can see what has died
And get scratched pruning

And me singing! This was a concert at Capricon one year. Probably none of the songs on the new album, though.

This isn't cosplay, this is just me on a shopping expedition, with my new acoustic bass.

Here's me as I might be in KM Herkes' world, where (some) people get their superpowers closer to the end of their lives than is usual in fiction. #SciFiChat

That tiny kitten (about 8 weeks and less than 3 lbs) that I rescued from my porch in Septemer with the infectd eye laceration is now healthy, happy, and as big or bigger than any of my adult cats. I wonder how big he'll be when full grown?

She's so happy now that I took the neck guard off. Last night she purred and purred and purred! The vet said the incision healed really well. I'm so glad they don't expect any more tumors!!!
March 22, 2025 at 9:32 AM
I got my kitty's stitches out, and while I was at the vet, got a copy of the pathology report on the mass they removed from her neck. The results? "This benign mass is completely excised with clean surgical margins and recurrence is not expected." I am vastly relieved.

So I made pretty salad for Thanksgiving.

The cabbage in my garden formed pretty little heads (eventually).

What's that?

What, BlueSky doesn't do thumbnails? Here, have an "album" cover for my song.

I have set up a Bandcamp: wylddandelyon.bandcamp.com

I have two tracks there so far. I’m trying to get at least one track up a month, so if you want notifications, you can follow me: wylddandelyon.bandcamp.com/follow_me

Bandcamp Friday, when Bandcamp sends more money to the artist, is today.
