On this day in 1910, Blanche Stuart Scott became the first American woman to fly solo—possibly by accident.

The throttle slipped, the plane lifted, and history followed.🗃️

Since it's Ace Week (Asexuality Awareness Week), I'm running a book giveaway for my sapphic romance novel Perfect Rhythm, which features an asexual main character, Holly.

Enter the giveaway on my website and win an ebook, paperback, or audiobook copy:
jae-fiction.com/book-giveaway/

Shown is a paperback copy, an ebook on a phone, and an audio CD of Perfect Rhythm by Jae. On the cover is a blone woman from behind, with a guitar, in a cornfield.

That's what I'm wondering. You would rock the unicorn one.

There was a unicorn blowing bubbles.

Come on! That's JOY❣️

Warning: They are warm and humid inside, according to every critter I asked. But they added such whimsy and charm during a time so many of us are on high alert.

Usually, I take y'all forestbathing.

Today, though, it's a mountain morning.

Could there be anything more Appalachian that a protester playing the fiddle?

By the way...

The term "Redneck" can be traced back to our region's workers rights protests because of the red bandanas.

I'll be at a rally.

Meanwhile...

The cat-crew apparently has other plans.

A chilly autumn morning in the mountains.

The nuts are falling.
The cats come calling.

✨ COVER REVEAL 🌭

@cheyenneblue.bsky.social is back with Love’s Inheritance, a tasty sapphic workplace romance full of heat, heart & chaos!

☕ A barista inherits a failing sausage biz, 🔬 meets a brilliant scientist, and sparks fly.

Can they save it & their hearts? Out this December!

Ana K Wrenn @anakwrenn.bsky.social · 7d

Me too. I love that creative crafters exist. What a fun hat 😻😹

The afternoon temps are still way too warm for mid-October (high 70s F, ~ 25C).

At least mornings are for beanies, sweaters, and hoodies.

I nabbed this cutie from an artist friend at our Appalachian #Pride

I wasn't going to buy much of anything, but this one reminds me of Xen, the vixen in The Wilding of Em's Path.

Now, Xen sits on my special bookshelf in front of my personal copy of Em's Path. 🤗

Snagged some delights from
area craftspersons at #Pride

No, I didn't need another mug, but...this one spoke to me.

And just look at my Ice Queen Kitty beanie.

😻
