Song of the Week

Hozier, “Francesca”

Good morning! I’m back!

The Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot Kickstarter was a smashing success. Thank you so much to everyone who pledged. As soon as I hear from Brooke, I will let you know when you can expect your decks in the mail.

I will be working on Journey to the Water until it’s finally done, so you won’t hear much from me. I’ll stop by on Friday for an update.

This month, I’ll be attending What the Hex: Season of the Witch on October 20 in Cudahy, WI, and the Fall Fon du Lac Spirit Fair on October 26. Links lead to their respective Facebook events. I hope to see you there!

It’s October 7 again, and the bombs are still falling and the hostages still haven’t been returned. Tens of thousands are needlessly dead.

Via USCPR: Tell Congress to stop arming Israel

Via Win Without War: Urge President Biden to de-escalate this crisis

Via AFSC: Tell Congress to prevent regional war

That’s all I’ve got for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Sir Sly and Lizzy Plapinger, “Inferno”

Good morning!

If you’ll be in Southest Wisconsin this weekend, the Kenosha Book Festival will be this Sunday (the 28th) from 10-3 at Studio Moonfall! For the address and more information, that link will have everything you need. I’ll be there, and a whole bunch of cool independent authors will be also.

If crowds aren’t your thing, I’ll also be at Studio Moonfall for an Author Night on May 24. More on that as we get closer to the date.

I am THREE chapters away from the end of the first draft of Journey to the Water. Gods willing and I don’t get Covid again, I’ll have that finished up this week. In the meantime, I’m still posting chapters, so you’ll get a new one on Patreon tomorrow and last week’s chapter will be up here on Wednesday. I appreciate everyone who’s taking this journey with me. At one chapter a week, it will be 3-4 months before the whole draft is posted, by which time I should be close to finishing my edits.

I don’t have very many petitions for you today, but here’s what I’ve got:

Via Demand Progress: Halt weapons transfers to Israel

Via Save the Children: Protect Sudan’s kids from conflict

Via the Friends Committee on National Legislation: Tell Congress to invest in peace

Also, it’s Earth Day! I hope you can get outside sometime today.

Thanks for being here. Have an excellent week.

Sage Francis, “Black Out on White Night”

Happy Monday!

For my US friends, we’re three weeks from the election. Make a plan to vote.

I’ll be back on Wednesday, if my time management is adequate this week, with another chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door. We’re finishing up the haunted house in this chapter, so I hope to see you then!

ETA: Chapter Five will go up late on Thursday. Thanks for your patience.

Have an excellent week.

Loreena McKennitt, “Dante’s Prayer”

It’s Monday again.

With the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a lot of bad things are about to happen in America.

But they haven’t happened yet. Contact your senators and demand they do everything in their power to prevent another Trump appointee to a lifelong seat. Phone calls are the most effective; the Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

Be prepared to march and keep an eye out for events in your area. Wear your mask!

Check your voter registration even if you’re pretty sure you’re registered. If you’re not, you can register here. At this stage, the best defense against voter suppression is overwhelming numbers. Due to Coronavirus, there will be a shortage of poll workers, so if you’re low-risk you can volunteer (and even get paid in some places): more information here.

I’ll compile more resources as I find them. I’ll also be back on Wednesday with the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, for a bit of escapism.

Keep fighting the good fight.
