A day when the gods can’t see me…friend project…trashing AI art and artists Adventures du jour! Today is a day of errands; at the time I wrote this, I was sitting at a tire shop waiting for tires and oil change. After that I did groceries. Now I’m home and getting ready to write fiction. […]

Movement stuff…shifting identities, first via movement, then via the multiverse…using movement to fix exhaustion Adventures du jour! Today’s post is super-nerdy movement stuff and not much else! You’ve been warned. Conscious mind: I have stuff to do! Writing fiction! Class! Letters! Stuff! The rest of whatever goes on in there: HUH. You’re going to hear

Talking to friends…hard triggered…anger…consulting Most Favored Tree, and also laying out tarot/oracle spreads for clarity…”this is human too.” Adventures du jour! Yesterday was a good day and a bad day. Good day: talked to several friends. AHHHHHH so good. My tanks were getting empty and I didn’t even realize. Bad day: got hard triggered and

From winter to spring…Persephone the Goddess…Hamilton the Musical…Picnic Island Park (Tampa)…When empathy hurts in surprising ways My stomach has flipped, which means my internal landscape has switched from fall/winter to spring/summer. (My stomach operates on or around cross-quarter pagan holidays.) So I am abruptly in a much more cheerful mood. Ray, thank goodness, knows the

MLK Jr. Day…anger and change…studying art styles using Midjourney…belly dancing move or what? Adventures du jour! I should be writing. I know this. But my brain is too full right now. If I break off without finishing the thought in this post, just know that I got inspired and hit “post” here without thinking. Today

Bullshit & bandaids Adventures du jour! This one is mostly a ramble about doubt. I tend to take stock of my goals and ambitions a little later in the year (Groundhog Day), but I ran into something upsetting that prompted me to start doing so earlier. I *thought* I had a grip on it, but

Kayaking <3…Getting triggered so hard one can’t let oneself know one was triggered…one’s area of care. Adventures du jour! I went kayaking on Saturday! I keep feeling like I shouldn’t brag up the winter weather here in Tampa, but I won’t really be able to say anything nice about the weather come summer, so I’ll

How to warp a kid’s sense of taste…combating silence: building wittiness. Adventures du jour! I’ve been thinking about my literal sense of taste lately. When I was a wee thing, I sucked my thumb. Which my mother *hated.* She did all kinds of things to try to get me to stop (short of being supportive,

Who benefits from silence? Adventures du jour! I got hit by restlessness last night and went out for a walk to the Most Favored Tree, then had the brilliant idea of calling a friend to talk while I was out there. It was excellent. Afterwards I walked a little further and sang in the dark

The challenges that make everything else seem easier Adventures du jour! New year, new perspectives. (One hopes.) Personally, I don’t do a lot of assessment for the year until February, on or about Groundhog Day/Imbolc/Candlemas. I find it more meaninful for stomach reasons, as in, about then, my stomach goes IT’S SPRING EAT ALL THE
