I'm back! Had to dip from social media, was laid off and got a new job within the last two months. What a world we live in 😓

So stressed that I throw myself into my writing and art just to escape reality

The notes I leave myself. #booksky #writer #editing

Thanks to Distirct, state and federal budget cuts and the gutting of the department of education my job is being dissolved and I'm getting laid off.

Everyone I work with is pissed. I supported my districts unaccompanied/homeless youth but it has to be cut bc there is no money

Hello! I'm an artist whose work blends gothic influences, deep emotions, and a touch of mystic

I highly recommend writing groups! I find it far more motivating to get my editing done when I share my progress with people who are also looking to improve their craft!

I just started reading “Holding It Together: How Women Became America’s Safety Net” by @jessicacalarco.bsky.social and it makes me even more furious that in WA state our Gov Ferguson keeps threatening to veto a wealth tax.

We need to stitch together a better social safety net.

I sold a book three days in a row after months of nothing. I'm incredibly grateful. 🥹 🩷💛💙 #booksky #indieauthors #authors #writingcommunity

I want to follow more small artists and writers! Right now my feed is all sad politics and I want to see more creation and joy! It's you're a small creator interact and I'll follow you!

I read and enjoy my work. I hate editing though 😅 I rely on peer pressure from my writing group for that

Palestinians take part in rare protests against Hamas' rule in Gaza Hundreds of people took part on Tuesday in the largest anti-Hamas protest in Gaza since the war with Israel began. It's a rare show of discontent by the citizens of the war-torn territory.

In a just world this would be a career headstone.
