I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they’ve killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they’d never allow it.
Let’s do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.
Reminder: you can’t be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.
There’s a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.
Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can’t stop it. And you can’t stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.
You need to remember the next part: you don’t have to stop it by yourself.
You’re not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

The computer said my next patient’s name was Lucifer, and that he was a domestic. Not that an unusual name for a pet, I have to admit.

“Come on in. Do you have Lucifer hiding in that box for me?” I say. A gentleman dressed all in black with a rather spiky aesthetic and a selection of piercings comes into my consult room and opens the box.

He places a perfectly black rabbit on the table.

Honestly, I had been expecting a cat.

Turns out Lucifer is his new rabbit. He’d insisted on taking it from a friend who wasn’t taking care of it a few months ago.

Lucifer, for his part, had decided the table was too scary and that his dad’s leather clad armpit was the best place to be.

To my surprise and delight, our new goth rabbit owner is doing everything right. Perfect diet, read up on rabbit health, vaccinating, enrichment, the works.

He even started a vegetable garden to grow treats for the rabbit, or as he put it, “tributes for lucifer.”

I….. I love this …..

look, it’s easy, okay? High Fantasy has An Hero whose Destiny is Sword, and Low Fantasy has Some Schmoe whose Job is Sword.
expanding it to a full matrix: Sword And Sorcery has An Hero whose Job is Sword, and YA Fantasy has Some Schmoe whose Destiny is Sword.
wow, this is an exceptionally effective taxonomy.

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!
The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.
This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.
Here is a short and easy video showing this in action
The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.
You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.
If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!
I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.
If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!
*currently suffering from a horrible migraine. Tries this*
Are you fucking shitting me it works!?
What. The fuck.

These two babies are Bebop and Donnie (Bebop is on top, with the black spot next to her nose). They are nine-month-old Cornish Rex. I met them when they were six weeks old, and just figuring out what they were. Now they’re learning how to be cats. Or at least…they’re supposed to be.
Because you see, a raw pet food company decided not to notify the public as soon as some of their batches of food tested positive for HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza). They didn’t want to start a panic, or taint their company name. If Wild Coast Raw had informed owners as soon as they knew, several kitties would still be alive, and Bebop would not now be at risk.
Bebop was hospitalized last night by her owner, @kikidoodle, when she began to display signs of pneumonia. The progression of bird flu in cats seems to be “fever, elevated breathing, pneumonia, death,” and so Kiki is desperately trying to get ahead of things in Bebop while she still has her best chance.
Kiki has already lost two cats, and a third remains in ICU for oxygen supplementation and constant monitoring.
It costs between $2,000 and $4000 a day to keep a cat in full veterinary ICU. I can absolutely attest to the validity of this GoFundMe: I know Kiki, and I know her cats. This is terrible. This is every pet-owner’s nightmare, playing out in real time slow-motion.
Please help, if you can.
Please boost whether you can help or not.
I just want Bebop to get the chance to be a cat.

Exciting news! Some of my mythology series is going to be on exhibit in a museum in Indiana this fall. It’ll be at the Garrett Museum, as part of Women Take the Walls, from October 10, 2025 – December 21, 2025. It’s probably going to include A Crack in the Labyrinth, Narcissus, Midas, Hades and Persephone, and possibly some other pieces.
I’ll continue to keep you guys updated but I hope some of you can make it!

Now that the holiday shopping season is coming to an end, indie bookstores could really really use your help. Your local independent bookstore is a treasure and a crucial part of the neighborhood.
And you KNOW you need some good reading during this cold winter season as you digest all that turkey.
Buy books, shop indies! <3
