Mmm turbulent times indeed. It's Sunday, come and sit for a spell... #witchyreads #spells #magic #witch

Happy Saturday! Have you visited your local indie bookstore yet this week? I don't know if the vibes will FIX you, but they'll certainly feel nice.

Just found another witchy book to add to my upcoming release list. Louisa Morgan's The Faerie Handmaid release date is 9/15/26. The one before this is The Faerie Morgana. It was really good. @louisamorgan.bsky.social #witchyreads #witchybooks #magicalreads

I'm going to do a thread of witchy and magical realism authors who have books coming out that I'm excited about. First up is the author that got me reading magical realism in the beginning. Sarah Addison Allen's Paper Ghosts release date is 9/01/26. 📚🧵 1/6

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I see a trip to Pawtucket, RI in my future. All the maps, please! 🗺️

While we are praising maps: www.mapcenter.com

I had replied to the below: Paper maps are great. Never run out of juice, let you see the close-up detail and the big picture at the same time (because they're three feet wide, unlike your phone), and the more you use them the more you learn your way around without them, unlike obeying a machine.

Can’t lie, the fact that y’all were driving with PAPER maps is insane. Even worse, you had to ask random strangers for directions??

I read @kellybarnhill.bsky.social When Women Were Dragon's last week and loved it so much! It's been on my list and I finally got to it. It's one of my top favorite books now. Which now leads me to Happy Mass Dragoning Day! 🐉🌈🔥 #massdragoningday #books #magicalreads

The rays of the rising sun peaking over the roof into the backyard here on top of the little mountain. The sun rays hit the bright yellow green of the myriad of recently unfurled little maple leaves that shiver in the cold breeze, setting them aglow in the morning light. #morning #trees #nature

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

Stand With Minnesota

A directory of places to give to as Minnesota defends itself from ICE occupation

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

Some of the books I'll be reading in the new year. We went to our local pub Bushwaller's and ate too much with our Kilkenny pints. Then on to @curiousiguana.com I call it pub and book day and I try to do it once a month. #books #reading #indiebookstore #pubandbookday

This is easily up at the top of my list of best news I've heard in the last 9 months. Mychal is definately the person for this too📚🌈❤️

🎶 Take a look, it's in a book 🎶 🥹 After nearly 20 years... Reading Rainbow is returning to motivate, help, and encourage kids to become avid readers with new episodes, new friends, new projects, and of course... new books! Make sure to follow the rainbow 📚🌈 #FollowTheRainbow

If you enjoy witchy fiction this was good. It felt like the right book at the right time, and similar to how I felt when I read The Once and Future Witches in Oct 2020. #witchybooks #witchyreads #witchystuff

Birch leaf with rain & lichen #autumn #fall #lichen #leaf #naturephotography

I had a quiet stay in a cabin last week. Saturday night it rained and I got some nice autumn pics on Sunday morning before leaving. #autumn #fall #lichen #leaves #naturephotography

One of the mushrooms I found after it rained yesterday morning. #mushroom #moss #summer #nature #photography

I’m loving Spring edited by Melissa Harrison. I got the summer, autumn, and winter ones as well. It’s great that there’s a mix of writers from our past and present. There’s a wide variety of different types of writing. All the covers are really colorful too. #books #naturereads #spring

Trail and trees as far as the eye can see 3/3 #trail #spring #trees #forest #nature #photograhy

The trail wanders on 2/3 #trail #spring #nature #photography

I have a trail I’ve loved for decades. There are spots I know not just by sight, but by feel. I can’t explain the feel, but I know it by memory. If I could only ever go on one trial ever again it would always be this one. 1/3 #trail #spring #nature #photography

Took this today in between the rain. Love the way the ivy grows up the base of this catalpa with lichen and moss all over it. #tree #ivy #moss #lichen #nature #photography

I took this rainy picture of the maple out one of the top sunroom windows yesterday. I messed around with the color saturation, black point, and brightness a bit and ended up with this abstract. #tree #rain #green #photography #abstract

New leaves on the maple glowing in the sun. #maple #tree #spring #nature #photography

If you haven’t heard anything by Ludovico Einaudi, let me introduce you to his work. This is my favorite song, and I love this video as well. #calm #relax #piano #instrumentalmusic #natureandmusic youtu.be/sR2W2scFS4Y?...

It’s a ‘90s evening: boots and flannel sitting on my back porch swing listening to Tori Amos’ Cornflake Girl and hearing crows flying around and cawing to each other at the end of the song. #90s #toriamos #flannel #boots #raisingirl

Just a little of the periwinkle starting to bloom. #periwinkle #spring #nature #photograhy

Yay, first violet of the season among the magnolia petals. #violet #spring #nature #photograhy
