Fort McMurray was too high a price to pay. In dollars, $9B. Jasper, a literal national treasure, is a rich history that we can not replace - but we may yet find out the price to try. Enough is enough. Stop voting for governments that aren’t taking serious action on climate.

Bookend your day w/ writing. It doesn't matter if it's rambly, or cranky, or if you feel like you don't have anything to say. Writing morning & night changes our brain. Reading & writing every day can drastically cut the lag time in becoming who we wanna become.

I think of this Toni Morrison quote all the time. She’s right.

Something I’ve felt was glaringly wrong with my second novel has been peeking out at me from the narrative brush for months and I’ve not only seen it for what it is, I’ve figured out how to fix it. I’m excited to get this resolved, even if it does mean about 5-10k in rewrites.

Can’t post much about my recent silence except that my parents are dealing with serious medical concerns in an overcrowded system and I’m in Power of Attorney caregiver kafkaland. If families with elderly assume they have plenty of time to figure things out, no they don’t.

After steeple-chasing to get POA set up at my parent’s bank, I’ve just found out that access is a week away at least. “Can you confirm the Credit cards have minimum payments going or set it up so that’s happening?” Nope. So I’ll be cash-dumping blind to prevent delinquency :/

Is this coffee my inner voice, or does my flat white have agency?

Mom recovering in hospital, Dad also sick but recovering at home. POA process dragging and can’t take extra time off work because car has thousands in repairs needed and I’m getting shuttled to pay for it now. Who can take the wheel for my family in these troubling times?

Haven’t been very active here of late and probably not going to be around too much longer for all the reasons.

Commuting back and forth from my parent’s town to my own put too much strain on the kid so I’ve had to change rides. End of an era…

Writers only keep their ghosts away by sending them to the page. There’s no other means of escape. #amwriting #editingtoo

If Trump installs his regime, here are a few reminders. If you know anyone trans, you do not. If you know any immigrants, they've been here their whole lives. If someone asks you about politics, you do not discuss politics. Anything and everything that will be used to target

Just doing a once-per-month tweet to keep my handle from getting appropriated on this sewage line while I breathe fresh over over on blooskai. (See my header)

Stopping in to say I’m under a bluer sky. Leaving again, You know why
