The poem flowers without meadow screenshot against a blue green and white Aurora Borealis in a starry sky. The text of the poem is as follows: in the galactic dark of blooming the halo of old constellations stains the hollow shells of blossoms spilling open into gold-dosed light seeds become stars like the wasp devoured in the beauty of the fig

So excited and grateful to share that my poem from Eye to the Telescope’s Plants issue is nominated for an Aurora Award! Wela’lioq to all for your kind consideration 💙🌸

I love you all, freaks and perverts

Trying to write books for everyone seems to me a surefire way of writing bad books. I’m not interested in writing books for twats. I write books for the cool and nice people whose company I know I’d enjoy if I met them in real life. I’m entirely comfortable with twats hating my books. Bring it on.

A vibrant, eye-level woodland shot framed by two large, dark tree stumps covered in tiered, light-brown bracket fungi and patches of green moss. In the centre, a Pieris shrub erupts in brilliant flame-red leaves, transitioning to green further down. The foreground is lush with bright green ferns and low-lying foliage. Sunlight filters through a canopy of bare and budding branches in the background under a clear blue sky, creating a bright, hopeful, and magical forest atmosphere.

A Garden Within a Garden.

Bright rays of sunshine filtering down to ground level to illuminate the lush, green moss growing at the base of a tree, the moss is dappled with droplets of condensed moisture.

Symmetry of scale, where a tiny patch of fern moss seen close up, looks just like the whole forest seen from a distance 🌱🌳🌿

“All authors are using AI now”

Not true! A lot of us use crippling childhood trauma.

throw back to last spring, when I found this little guy guarding a trail outside of Nanaimo. hope you found your way home, pal.

If you steal from this book to feed An AI made from peerless greed May boils burn upon your skin And worms bite you from within.

Okay, I get publishers affirming that the books we've produced are human-made, but have we also considered bringing back medieval book curses??? Just saying.

An orangish gilled mushroom flaunts itself from under a moss covered log. Chachi the husky looks over, head exposed from the same log. Bare trees and grey sky fill the background

the hardest part about separating the art from the artist is how i seem to have glued myself to this macaroni picture

All of the money ever made by all of the harry potter books and movies and games and all the things ever said about them all rolled up into one and multiplied by a hundred thousand is still not worth the life of a single trans kid.

Closeup of pink plum flowers in the very mossy plum tree. The moss has this beautiful silvery green.. a little bit like sage.

Happy Spring Equinox 🌷

At the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Minneapolis, they’re throwing out ICE whistles shaped like dicks.

Two of our crows waiting patiently for books, er, I mean peanuts. 😁

Our Little Free Library and Tumbled Rock Emporium gets a lot of foot traffic. Word must have gotten out because now we have wing traffic as well!

Collage picture of a mossy tree trunk, a wet snail shell, grumpy faced fungi, bright yellow wet celandines, a yellow daffodil with a fly and a white hellebore with more flies.

Still a bit damp (and I’m sure the fungi are looking even grumpier) 😂

That is between me and my shadow.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at.

Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.
