Happy Monday! Yesterday was Juneteenth! I hope you had a good day.
I am back on my usual nonsense: the newest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will make its appearance here on the website on Wednesday.

This past weekend, I went to the Oddities and Curiosities Expo!
I’m not super into taxidermy (I haven’t eaten meat for something like 16 years), but there were vampire hunting kits, cryptid paraphernalia, antique and gothic fashions, and so much great art. I’ll have a post up on Instagram today with some more pictures.
Thank you for being here. Have an excellent week.
