I write worlds I want to live in, where community, love, and justice prevail… and who doesn’t wanna live in a queer utopia?

My latest cozy corgi mystery is available only on Kickstarter. Campaign ends Friday March 13th: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tho...

From long experience in N.C., I like to remind folks of the following lessons from fighting our enemies: be relentless, be uncompromising, attack their money and put not your faith in politicians.

When it comes to the South, national queer/trans media tends to veer between doomerism and exultation.

By now you've probably heard that several prominent anti-trans Democrats lost primaries on Tuesday. This is, of course, good. But it ain't the whole story.

I made this one, simplifying it from a longer multi-fold pamphlet design. And it includes my local area hotline #. If you have a local immigrant’s rights or 🧊 watch hotline, I suggest using that.

The pamphlet: signalfirespdx.com/media/files/...

I’ll try to post mine when I’m at my computer.

A small wood box filled with colorful rectangular whistles. Whistle instructions on lid: form a crowd, stay loud.

It’s another good day to help our neighbors.

(I’ve been dropping off these whistle kits at cafΓ©s & bars around town. For this project, I suggest hooking up with local 3D printers and buying key rings in bulk! I got this round of whistles from romance author @mostlybree.kitrocha.com & co)

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

My friend Thorn writes cozy mystery novels when they’re not writing transformational spiritual guides. Sometimes a cozy mystery is just what you need. These involve clever Corgis who solve mysteries. You know you need some of that!!! On kickstarter now.

War is Nothing But War

I have nothing

To say

About war…

          (Drones fly)

Except it is always

Most devastating

To those

          (Bombs shriek)

Simply trying

To live.

It is always

Most profitable

To those 

           (Tanks roll)

With the least

To lose.

War is Nothing But War I have nothing To say About war… (Drones fly) Except it is always Most devastating To those (Bombs shriek) Simply trying To live. It is always Most profitable To those (Tanks roll) With the least To lose.

Reprise of a poem I wrote 4 years ago:

I have nothing
To say
About war…
(Drones fly)
Except it is always
Most devastating
To those
(Bombs shriek)
Simply trying
To live…

As you prepare your breakfast, think of others
   (do not forget the pigeon’s food).
As you conduct your wars, think of others
   (do not forget those who seek peace).
As you pay your water bill, think of others
   (those who are nursed by clouds).
As you return home, to your home, think of others
   (do not forget the people of the camps).
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others
   (those who have nowhere to sleep).
As you liberate yourself in metaphor, think of others
   (those who have lost the right to speak).
As you think of others far away, think of yourself
   (say: β€œIf only I were a candle in the dark”).


Poem set over an image of hands cupping a candle
