Image of a tan pitbull laying on a gray and green rug in the sun. She is surrounded by dog toys. The window in the room shows a clear, blue sky, and there are a bunch of green plants in front. The walls of the room are white and have lots of knick-knacks and pictures hung on them.
It’s a beautiful morning, and I’m finally feeling semi-human again post-Norovirus

Photograph of a tan colored pitbull lounging on a red leather couch in the sun. The couch is covered in green, tan, and red blankets, as well as pillows shaped like leaves and succulents, which makes it look very comfy.
A restful morning

A small bush growing out of the stone siding of a tomb
Two tombs against the backdrop of a cloudy blue sky and a winding old tree
A hand holding a stone with a hole through the middle of it in front of a frozen pond
A stone pathway through gravesites, covered in melting ice and snow
A lovely morning cemetery walk and a newly acquired hag stone for Imbolc

Image of a book of writing at a bar, next to a mug of hot tea. The bar has holiday lights of all colors reflecting on the bottles of liquor.
The tattoo on my wrist reads 29/11/14, and here I am, a decade later, writing poetry at the bar, hot toddy in hand, previously a rusty nail or two, while the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre plays in the background, without subtitles.

I wrote about people insulting Elon Musk and his relationship with Trump by calling him ‘Elonia’ or ‘First Lady.’
This approach doesn’t work both because it reinforces the language and approach of bigotry, and because it doesn’t hurt our powerful targets one bit.
We have to learn to punch up.

One year ago I started my Substack. It’s been a lovely space for my musings without the anxiety of a deadline. I’m inconsistent with it, but that’s part of the calmness.

A hand holding “The Idler Wheel” by Fiona Apple on CD, featuring the cover art of a multicolored self-portrait drawn with pen lines. In the image background, there is an aloe plant in a pot, some Yule decorations, a copy of “Out of Time” by REM on cassette, and a Detrola record player.
In serendipitous moments, while walking the dog I found a copy of Fiona Apple’s The Idler Wheel on CD, soaking in a puddle on the sidewalk alongside tossed Polaroids and Christmas decorations. I had to rescue it. It’s one of my favorite albums, and now my vinyl copy has a sidewalk CD companion.
