The Left & The Right & Russian Propaganda Misinformation can spread like wildfire, whether you’re on the left or the right.

Whether you’re on the left or the right, you’re in a bubble. Your algorithm is designed for you, so when you’re on Instagram or TikTok, you’re in a bubble. I don’t care how great that bubble feels or how much you agree with it — the reality is, it’s still a bubble. #bluesky #usa #trump #right #left

Hypatia’s Fall (Part 3) Extended Edition Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

Hypatia touches the Apprentice’s arm and lowers their weapon. She slowly backs away and disappears. The six of them begrudgingly disperse, the glow of burning buildings rising behind them. #usa #bluesky #trump #pen #love #books #hypatia #news

Ego-Non Grata Death to Womb to Rebirth

Persona non grata: a person who is unacceptable or unwelcome. I would like to come up with a new phrase, ego non grata. For this transformation to happen, my ego, at least for the time being, must perish. As melodramatic as that sounds, it is the truth. #ego #usa #sun #love #bluesky #hope

Dear Ophelia, I judged you too harshly. Dear Ophelia, I judged you too harshly.

Some women are taught that holding their breath is noble. If holding my breath makes me noble, then I’d rather have a scarlet letter on my chest and be able to breathe. #bluesky #ophelia #love #hope #usa #uk #sky #books

Do you remember? (Regaining My Life) I am just now remembering what happened… five months of lost time.

Slowly but surely, I see light shining through your cracks, beloved. The light is almost as beautiful as your soul. I wish I could hold a mirror up to you so you could see yourself the way I see you: strong, resilient, and capable.

Samhain & Halloween This year, Samhain is from Friday, October 31 to Saturday, November 1, 2025. If you have Celtic Irish and Scottish heritage like I do, your…

While these #Celtic festival traditions may seem amusing, there was also a sense of letting go of one’s grief. One might write down what was weighing heavily on their heart, throw it into the bonfire, and ask an ancient ancestor for guidance and protection. #halloweenparty #halloween #boo #usa

Appearance & Responsibility Elizabeth I vs. Donald Trump Trump has always been fascinated by royalty.

Trump has always been fascinated by royalty, especially the British. From his penthouse in New York to the gaudy way he has treated the Oval Office, anything gilded — real or fake gold — seems to define his style. #nokingsday #bluesky

Your apathy and your sense of being overwhelmed are understandable, but as hard as it may seem, apathy in this moment is unacceptable.

It’s Time To Call The (Left) In Will the Lack of Nuanced and Lazy Thinking Be the United States’ Downfall?

Instant gratification and democracy do not mix. They never have, and they never will. Sorry to be blunt, but America — and yes, even the left side of America — needs to take this pill. #vote #usa #america #democracy #hope #writing #humanity #bluesky

(Queen Pose) Don’t let your Crown Fall Has anyone seen my lipstick?

When one feels like they are in purgatory, the best way to venture out is to look up at the sky, put on your imaginary crown, and walk tall. There may be a time when the façade cracks, but reapplying your lipstick never hurts anyone. #usa #writing #humanity #bluesky #books #LOVE

As I walk through this world at the present moment, my heart is heavy with many questions I cannot answer, or at least not yet. My mind started to wander today, and a memory popped up from when I was studying ancient #Egyptian #poetry many months ago. #love #usa #wrighting #hope #iseeyou #pen

Charlie Kirk, Jesus & Allie Beth Stuckey (Hate Wrapped in Faith) Dear reader, please read to the end. There is hope for the future.

The #American Heritage Dictionary defines #McCarthyism as: 1. The political practice of publicizing accusations of disloyalty or subversion with insufficient regard to evidence; and 2. The use of methods of investigation and accusation regarded as unfair, in order to suppress opposition. #usa #books
