I've been mostly posting Merv and fAngus stuff lately because my old man usually contents himself with napping in the shade (and dirt, because of course it's in the dirt) where he can see the driveway. This way, he can nap with one beady Shepherd-guard eye open as needed. My boy is always on watch.… Continue reading An Overdue Ragnar Appreciation Post

Romance is a Minefield
So in this morning's neighborhood Face-space group, which is often full of the usual messy racist, classist diatribes by "anonymous123456" users and occasionally punctuated with gloriously kind or wholesome posts, a man seemingly forgot it was not a dating app. His pic was clean cut and suited, his description was vague and well written and… Continue reading Romance is a Minefield
I Am Not an Influencer
So I got this super cool email from my publisher today: he sent it to all the authors for free marketing. The hitch: I'd have to do a VIDEO for DS and send it to the much-better-known witch on social media, who will then post the videos regularly on their socials to market. It's a… Continue reading I Am Not an Influencer
An Unexpected Visit
So, a couple weeks ago I posted I was about to have my first Zometa infusion and cross all the things and all that. The universe put together some, hmm, interesting factors the week after that appointment that led to an interruption in my regularly scheduled programming, which also (annoyingly) led to me missing Paganicon… Continue reading An Unexpected Visit
Friday the 13th Luck
Today is the new infusion day. I've worked extra every day this week so I'm done when I leave for the appointment, because if I have any ick feelings I can go to bed right after. If I'm physically fine, I have the afternoon off to read, write, play cello, or maybe walk in the… Continue reading Friday the 13th Luck
My WHAT Could Die? aka reasons cancer is chronic illness
Jump on the bitch bus peeps, the ride's a doozy. In today's episode of why breast cancer is an unceasing ride of indignities, I give you a few details from an essay I'm working on about the definition of grit. When I finished* cancer treatment six years ago this summer. Wait. Not far enough back.… Continue reading My WHAT Could Die? aka reasons cancer is chronic illness
Witchy Wednesday: Low-Energy Circle
The Cancer and Chronic Illness monthly support group for Pagans (in Minneapolis, at Magus Books and Herbs) had an attendee in February, which was a wonderful bit of growth. One of the topics that popped up was how folk in this crappy club none of us want to be in have insights that outsiders just… Continue reading Witchy Wednesday: Low-Energy Circle
An End, A Beginning
At the end of last winter I bought myself cross country skiing gear. I had a hysterectomy between Yule and New Years in 2024/2025, so there wasn't any point in getting geared up during the season, but I wanted to be ready for this winter. This winter has been a little wild with house renovations… Continue reading An End, A Beginning
Twilight Week Media – Check Them Out
It's the week between Solstice/Yule/Christmas and the New Year, which means it's that weird twilight zone time where nothing means anything, everything is dark and sleepy (at least for me), and work is a series of super productive bursts followed by long fallow periods of brain rot. So far this week I've managed to read… Continue reading Twilight Week Media – Check Them Out
