Song of the Week

Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer, “Tam Lin” (Child Ballad 39)

Good morning! Today’s my birthday. I hope you’re having a good day.

I met so many cool people at the Fall Fon du Lac Spirit Fair! I get a small break this week, and then it’s off to the Scorpio Market in Madison on November 9th. Then I think I’m done for the rest of the year.

If you backed the Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot Kickstarter, I am happy to report that the decks have been ordered. I’ll let you know as soon as I get any updates.

The newsletter will come out on Thursday the 31st, so if that’s something you’re interested in, put your email address in the box at this link. Then be sure to check your inbox for a confirmation.

I appreciate your patience as I work to finish Journey to the Water. I’ll be back on Friday with an update for you.

Petitions I’ve collected this week:

Via No Business With Genocide: Pressure Congress to help end the civil war in Sudan

Via USCPR: Block $20 billion in weapons to Israel

Via Action Network: Protect journalists & press in Gaza

That’s it for today. As always, I appreciate you. Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Anaïs Mitchell, “A Hymn for the Exiled”

Good morning!

Not much to report this week. I’m working on Journey to the Water, and if you haven’t already, check out The Well Below the Valley and The Tarot of the Gates, two candidates for my next serial project. I’m hoping to get a secret third thing out soonly, and then you can all vote.

The Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot has reached its first stretch goal! If you haven’t pledged yet, I highly recommend that you do!

Petitions for this week:

Via Not Another Bomb: Kamala Harris, Pledge to Enact an Arms Embargo

Via Demand Progress: End U.S. support for the war on Gaza

Via No Business with Genocide: Pass the Rohingya GAP Act, Pass the Azerbaijan Sanctions Review Act, Pass the Uyghur Policy Act, Help end the genocide in Sudan

That’s what I’ve got for you today. Take care and have an excellent week.

Anaïs Mitchell, “Wilderland”

It’s Monday again. Summer has packed up and gone, and October has arrived with its thin gray mornings and rich, sunny afternoons.

There is less than a month between us and the election in the US. Have you checked your registration? Do you have a plan to vote and keep yourself and others safe?

If all goes well, I should have another chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up this week. See you then!
