10/10 recommend this book that broke TikTok law. I beta read it and have to say itโ€™s phenomenal.

Side effects may include existential corporate crisis, desire to quit job and become a space llama farmer, and/or phobia of coffee.

Guess who isnโ€™t stressed about the state of emergency my county declared for snow.

Try to stay warm out there yโ€™all and find joy where you can. ๐Ÿ–ค Maybe take the snow days to read or write a book ๐Ÿ˜œ

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the first panel shows little baby Green, sitting alone in an empty void, looking disappointed but not surprised.
Green, narrating: When I was little, life was bad. I thought it would be bad forever.

Next, adult Green is floating through an empty void, not attached to anything.
Green, continuing to narrate: But that passed, and I learned that nothing is forever. Everything is only temporary.

Blue, appearing out of nowhere, grabs Green by the tail, gently holding on to stop him from drifting away.
Green, still narrating: And then you were there. For good.

The foxes settle down to play some kind of a board game. It's unclear which one of them is winning.
Green, narrating: You make me want to believe in "forever".

I'm having a jolly of a time experimenting with how I can inject colour into my pieces, breaking out of my usual routines.

artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.

A year ago I worked the disaster response for hurricanes Helene & Milton, only to be declared an enemy by the President for being queer and researching equity.

So I wrote a book. And I became a teacher.

Nice try jackass, but Iโ€™m still kickinโ€™. ๐Ÿ–•

They'll tell you that the arts and humanities aren't practical and then read poetry at funerals and weddings, cry over films and search for meaning in ancient philosophy.
Surviving is one type of practicality, knowing why we bother is another.

Person: wow, you're a writer? It must be tough to come up with stories
Writer: it's not really. The story grows and demands to be poured out. Like a hive of bees living in your throat until you scream
Person: *backs away*
Writer: how come I'm not invited to more parties

I love this book because it so beautifully tells the story of found family and loving one another as they are. Lost individual learn to use the broken shards of their hearts to build a mosaic together.
