I know that this doesn’t apply to most of you, but please spread the word to anyone you know who DOES live with vertigo or someone who has vertigo. This is not the last thing I will get to tell you about from the vertigo arts project–-this is just the beginning of the cool stuff we’ve been doing.

We will draw on some of the complexities, difficult symptoms, and feelings that characterize vertigo & related conditions. You will be given some prompts to work with, but you will be encouraged to write at your own pace, using forms or technique that are most comfortable to you. >

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 23 at 1100 a.m. CST (5 p.m. GMT). This workshop is FREE TO ATTEND with funding provided by the Impact and Innovation Fund of the University of St Andrews, Scotland–but we do ask that you register in advance! For more questions or to register, please email ar220@st-andrews.ac.uk >

Exciting news! I've been working all year on a vertigo arts project in collaboration with others in academia, physical therapy, puppetry, and dance. Now the first part is out: I'm running a creative writing workshop for people who are directly or indirectly affected by vertigo. >

The day has finally arrived! Thanks so much @kiwifruitbird.bsky.social for this amazing cover. This book is now available for pre-order. Find the links on the dedicated page (linked in the below post).

So... Here's a thing. I enabled "expanded distribution" on Amazon, which means you don't HAVE to order through Amazon.

The Last Fifteen Minutes A marionette opera and short film about having dinner together before a giant kaiju steps on you.

If you are into musicals about queer people in a shitty apartment trying to make it in a gentrifying city before they die, have I got a musical for you. But instead of five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, I figured I could do it in fifteen.

Oak Flat is under threat! Oak Flat is a sacred site to nine Indigenous tribes. #Trump wants to hand it over to a major foreign-owned mining company that would destroy it forever. Stand with our Indigenous nations and say NO to this environmental and human rights violation. #SaveOakFlat

As month end approaches, I have to post our reminder that we gratefully accept kokum gifts that help us and many others survive right now. I live on a small pension raising teens and it helps so much to have beautiful souls who care about us. It is a lot to overcome alone. Love to all this day💞🪶

In his Final Book Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said European Americans would rather Throw Away Democracy Altogether & Embrace “A Native form of Fascism” to Preserve their Power.
WE ARE LIVING IN THAT PROPHECY TODAY.

Next year's WorldCon is in Los Angeles, and the theme appears to be Westward Expansion or possibly Manifest Destiny. The guests are referred to as Pioneers and the venue as The Frontier. This year the awards were swept by Indigenous writers. The choice is stunning in its ugliness.

It’s live!
