Day 5 with EclipseCovid

Skull has swamp inside!

Day 3 of my cute nostalgic Covid journey:

My face is on upside down and my skin can taste time

Eclipse was amazing!

….aaaaand I have COVID.

At Moosehead Lake for the #solareclipse !

Y'all, I love my local library, Bangor Public Library so much.

I went there today to pick up a book I had on hold, The Future is Blue by Catherynne M. Valente. The librarian at the desk and I chatted for a couple minutes about Valente's books, and it was so awesome. We were both smiling. ❤️

The Orphan's Tales by Catherynne M. Valente

Not related in any way to any of the books in the picture here, but it's a beautifully written captivating nesting doll of stories that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Only a few days left in the Locus fundraiser and it's still short of it's goal. Go donate, pick up cool rewards, and support all the work that Locus does. (Also, one of my readings is posted on the site, along with readings by John Wiswell Catherynne M. Valente AiJiang || 江艾 || is a dawn owl 🦉 and more.)

Note: a massive ugly storm is incoming tonight, we may lose power AGAIN and there will almost certainly be no school tomorrow.

I may well disappear for a couple of days into this mess.

Or it could be nothing. This winter, either is equally possible.

My five year old has been having a bit of trouble remembering the word “graduated” lately, so whenever he talks about me being all done with school it goes…

“But Mama you have already dominated school!”

Sure have, bud.

Catherynne M. Valente: 'I have a question and it’s real damn urgent.

Why do my infant son’s pants have full pockets and mine don’t?

WHY? WHAT’S HE GOT TO CARRY? THE KEYS TO THE PATRIARCHY?' 😂

The ice storm over the weekend has more of the state out of or with intermittent power, school out, ice everywhere.

GOOD THING MY JOB DOESNT INVOLVE ELECTRICITY IN ANY WAY.

It is cold.
