No forests or mountains for running, rather lovely industrial waterfront. Today stumbled upon a disused gasworks, and beside it, sprouting up from darkest Granton like a dandelion through concrete, a hippietastic clutch of tiny houses, some with gardens. #edinburgh #scotland #lonelygoatrunningclub

It's Tuesday, and I'm still fundraising for the kitties. This little nugget is coming to me on a future transport, and we're fundraising to cover the cost for her and others.
They truly do amazing work, and any amount helps. And sharing helps, too!

Hi Everyone,
I donโt often share fundraisers, but this one is personal!
If you have a spare penny or two, please consider donating to help bring some of these cats to their waiting homes.

If the boot fits book cover. A black cowboy in a black suit wearing a black cowboy hat standing near a ranch fence line. there are horses in the background.
Back to the backlist!
20. IF THE BOOT FITS. A Cinderella retelling with a cowboy turned actor and an assistant who might be fibbing about her real job. A one night stand, a missing Oscar statue, and a chance reunion at the ranch. Writing a plus size contemp Cinderella was pretty amazing for me.
Itโs becoming more and more apparent that white people are waiting for Black people or AOC by herself, to save the country. We tried 2014-2020 and we got Black squares. Itโs your turn. You have to go tackle Elon. We canโt do it for you.

Watching agencies jump to interpret "end DEI policies" as "scrub all evidence of female and POC contributors to the field" makes me wonder how quickly y'all would throw me (or anyone) under the bus, and how far you'd throw me, to appease what you *thought* an authority figure *might* want. ๐ค

A man jumping, under the words "Make Time For Joy"
Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

In all her glory! Several coats of Danish oil to bring out the gorgeous grain, plus a coat of furniture wax for protection. Waiting on the mini amp I ordered then we'll let her sing! Her name is Tilly, short for TillyCaster.

Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donโt take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are ๐
