Sure, buddy. The real problem is those feminists. And I *should* talk more about how men are witches, too, poor things.

Ah yes, my favorite part of YouTube: deleting comments from men who can’t control themselves.

As a small press we don’t do #BlackFriday, but we have a selection of bundles.

New now: The Yuletide Bundle, perfect for anyone who yearns to sit in front of the fire reading spooky stories.

I think they do, but don’t know how. And me too! My coven life is the product of Witchvox, and I’m sad that younger folks don’t have it! Thank you!

Too many swamp tourists invading his space (me)

Totally understandable! I hope you’re able to get in touch with them—I hate how impersonal and opaque publishing can be.

OMG so cute!

Usually the society‘s journal editor is the one determining how many proofs are necessary (it’s always a balance of speed versus accuracy)—I can’t imagine ignoring a direct request from a society. Absolutely chase whatever contact you have.

Hi! Journals production editor here! From our end, it’s pretty impersonal. We’re usually not even thinking about authors—only speeding up turnaround times. No one would think you were being unreasonable to ask directly. The journal website may list publisher contacts—I would absolutely reach out!

Thank you!

It’s so pretty! I’ve got it in my pen now!

A friendly reminder that wherever you can, given the reality of your situation, fuck all these massive corporations and the billionaire class they support. Give your holiday money to local and small biz, make gifts, whatever. Donate it to good causes. You do have material power. Use it.

Everybody has to look at my gator

Me too! It’s only fair to share periodically!

I am painting and swatching new ink in between baking pie. Happy Thanksgiving, American friends. May you be with people who love and respect you, even if that’s just yourself! You do not need anyone else’s company to eat delicious things and do something you enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Seven Col-o-ring ink swatch cards arranged in two rows, each with a different sample of fountain pen ink, their brands and names written in neat cursive underneath each. The bottles are arranged in the background.

New inks! The Papier Plume bottles were acquired in New Orleans, and the Wearingeul and Herbin colors are the spoils of Fountain Pen Day.

“Alex” drawer set from IKEA, in navy blue, with three drawers slightly open. Inside you can see rows of fountain pen ink bottles and samples.

That’s exactly what I use! Have for years, and it’s great! Holds everything! (And I hope you can find another one cheap—that’s a bummer!)

You can take my survey of contemporary Paganism, plus a number of other awesome seminars with brilliant scholars!

Oh but if your emergency happens in another county (which it will, because hello car crashes and work place commutes and whatever the fuck…I move through three counties in any given day) or the nearest hospital isn’t in the county it doesn’t apply.

Apparently the solution to steep EMS fees—keep in mind this is for *insured* people—is an additional subscription for ambulance access. Honestly just leave me wherever I fall at this point.

A brochure with an ambulance on it advertising a subscription for access to emergency medical care, to supplement your healthcare policy.

Are you fucking kidding me

I know you know better than most! Anyone who has ever been on the other end—event planning, marketing, sales—knows what shits magical authors can be. Woooof

KEEP DOING IT 🌈✨

And we just outright deny it even exists a lot of the time, too. (But the Goddess!)

For me, this has mostly manifested in being constantly asked if man-with-fewer-degrees has verified my history.

Occult publishing and witchcraft authorship is, I can tell you, very much a lot of men. They’ll be quick to point out that they aren’t the majority, but that doesn’t mean they aren‘t dominating the mic and commanding the most influence and money.

Oh and just so we’re clear I haven’t said a word about how much more nonsense you have to deal with if you aren’t a cis man. Lots of writers from the global majority would also like to have an additional word.
