I think of you, Yaroslava, and your video love poems to Kyiv. Thanks for amplifying, Felicity. It's what we're doing here on Bluesky, in part, isn't it. Holding onto the love of art, culture, books and everyday kindnesses in the face of poisonous cruelties and the gluttony of power.

I love this poem, simple yet devastating.

Come to the Smorgasbord for a Taste of The Weight of Snow andΒ Regret! I'm over at Sally Cronin's Smorgasbord Magazine today. I am so grateful for Sally's help in learning how to market and promote my books. I'm also grateful for the books she's written. She tells such heartwarming stories, including the revenge stories when the villain of the piece gets his just dessert. (Sorry about the puns.) I've closed comments here.

We had a dog that knew W-A-L-K meant walk. We then tried O-U for out. That didn't fool her either.
