I live, work and play in Northern California. I’m kid tested, and cat approved.
Just a gentle reminder to myself that in these weird times, resistance is love.

Someone once told me that every writer has a subject that underlies everything they write. It can be love or death, betrayal or belonging, home or hope or exile. I choose to think my subject is love, and most specifically love for the glittering world of non-human life around us ~ Helen Macdonald

Whispers curl in toxic dusk

do not ask
if you are not free
to continue
my heart
is not desirous
to clamour
for a love
already assigned
nor does it serve me
to covet
a man
not apportioned
to be mine
I extend
a vicarious joy
its colours brighter
than a palette
of #jealous hues

Four panel comic. Comic panel one shows an otter peeking its head above water, raising a hand. Comic panel two shows the otter diving back under the waves with a splash. Comic panel three shows a cat on on some rocks by the water. The cat thinks “holy crap.” Comic panel three zooms into the cat’s face. The cat thinks, “A MERMAID”.
