My latest book, an essay collection on queer tarot topics, has:
- Gay numbers!
- Expansive Interstitial Elements
- Wtf symbols even are and why they're all queer, actually

And so much more! Buy wherever you buy books.

The problem, you see, is that the world requires much more money than it used to and the amount of hours in a day has remained the same.

I miss when the internet was generations trolling each other in good fun like when my fellow elder millennial insisted we used to have to keep a hard boiled egg yolk in the computer mouse.

You know I'm serious about The Writing Deadline when I don't even take any books or notebooks to the Room With the Computer with me.

Bit inside my cheek so hard I woke up in pain and had torn a piece of cheek off, in case anyone is wondering how quick TMJD treatment works 🫠

Me: I promise I'm in there working on edits but I also took a call from (my awesome stepmom) to get some soup recipes so groceries will be fun and easy this week

Manny: (stares at me, blinking in "not a professional writer and does not understand the procrastination is a vital part of the process"

ICYMI - I was on Witchlit talking about the legacy of Rachel Pollack and 78 Degrees of Wisdom. It was very fun and we took the problems in her Canon seriously while giving her and her work the respect and love it deserves. Check it out!

MY BABY JUST MET ILHAN AND I WASN'T THERE BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO MEET A SELF IMPOSED DEADLINE. SELF DISCIPLINE IS A SCAM.

MxCassandraSnow @mxcassandrasnow.bsky.social · 12d

Kicked my co-parent and baby out of the house so I can focus for a minute (they had fun plans, I promise) and spent the first 20 mins (checks notes) looking at pictures of my baby.

ADHD + PMDD is crazy because what do you mean removing all distractions does nothing?!

It is enough to just hate cruelty. If they can love for its own sake, we can hate it even more. We don't need to justify it with big words and lots of points made. We know we can and they don't care. Its still not okay to treat people like this, period.

I was a very normal 4th & 5th grader who read absolutely everything by John Muir or Jane Goodall that I could get my hands on. Adding another amazing spirit to the Beloved Dead altar this week is sad but she 1000000% deserves the Sacred spot. ♡

Struggling with Tarot Reversals? It may be time to question the binaries and boxes that now feel constricting instead of like safe sandboxes to play in.

All eyes on South Carolina, where the anti-abortion movement is using the state as a testing ground for what they want nationally

Grew up loving the dictionary beyond reason. Am still surprised when they are on the right side of things somehow.

So when I opened Baby's, halloween costume from my sister yesterday and it was a flying squirrel and a note that said "Remember?!" I could not stop laughing my ass off.

The most haunted house i've ever lived in also had a very weird problem where flying squirrels were constantly attracted to it, getting inside and refusing to leave.
