From my archives for #SCAPE day.
I got to travel to Iceland for the first time in 2021 right after vaccinations were available. The national parks were very empty. This is a fall morning in #Thingevellir National Park. #UNESCO world Heritage site.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

I need you all to show up. I want us to have a thousand people there if not more.
Got to use a pink compound bow at the archery range and some dude tried to make fun of me.
What I said: I'm secure in my masculinity.
What I thought: of all the loaners, this bow is in the best condition. Yoink.

“Eat Your Heart Out” drops on March 14th. Sapphics, choice cuts of meat, unhinged relationship chaos, and medical school drama. It’s got it all!
Elizabeth's essay really delves into the way our culture fails to see women's voices as authoritative, important, or deeply relevant -- and why that makes it so hard for women to be as read within the horror genre.

"This is Kate Heartfield's masterpiece. The historical fantasy I've been aching for since Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Reading Mercutio was itself a fever dream that was both grounded in its gorgeous 13th century detail, and also left me gasping at all of its fantasy elements. Heartfield long ago set herself on the stage of historical fantasy authors, but Mercutio takes the spotlight." - Jordan Kurella, author of The Death of Mountains
A few days ago @jordankurella.com sent me this endorsement for Mercutio and I've just been holding it like a precious thing in my palm since he sent it. When the doubt and anxiety comes in, as it will, I'll remind myself a writer and person I admire greatly said this. Made a little graphic for it.
(this is why DS9 is so great and worth watching in this era because Major Kira goes from being a resistance fighter/terrorist to being an official in the new government and is absolutely punched in the gut and torn in all directions by how hard and complex that is.)
once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling
DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE
In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
Woo, good news!

Depends on the recipe, and what texture I'm in the mood for.

No new pictures.
Where are you at mentally?
No solution either. Just an acknowledgement of how much boredom helped kickstart the hobby and how challenging it is to cultivate that now.

Well, hell. That is an effective pitch for a certain target audience.
It’s me.
I’m that target audience.
(Oh, and hell yes. There’s an audio version. Credits SPENT.)
I like "wrath the roots" as a turn of phrase.
This year we should be supporting our fellow artists and writers as much as possible. Help us continue to give independent creativity a space to be celebrated by reading Locus Magazine! linktr.ee/locusmagazine
"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner
