Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"
I am one of those people! Hill’s auction-sourced sterling and refurbished jewelry sales paid for me to take a metalworking class in April. All your purchases are helping queer people bring more beautiful wearable art into the world.
(And also, y’know,?pay rent and buy cat food.)

Our many aging cherry trees, originally a gesture of friendship by pre-war Japan, blossomed last week. Lovely, but: global warming.
I’m super excited to have my novella Bright Phaedra coming out in August 2026 with @thinkinginkpress.bsky.social
It’s a sci-fi reimagining of the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus (and an Ace love story) set in the near future and a mythic past ⭐️

A pink moonstone ring on my index finger! You can also see my wedding ring, which is a green garnet set in gold alongside a gold beaded wedding band.

thank you so much Hillary and team 🌸💖

Wheezie toasting self above 90-year old steam radiator. I’m about to turn the boiler down for the night. When this blissfully warm surface eventually cools, he’ll join me upstairs for a snuggle.
Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
This is actually so terrifying.
