So I did a thing I've been wanting to do for a while. I opened a Red Bubble w/products featuring some of my favorite inspiration/advocacy phrases.

Today is #GivingTuesday and I wanted to highlight rural and underrepresented PBS stations that could really use your help, especially after losing federal funding this year.

Title Page: Bloody Kisses and Love written by max_servant. Tags: Vampire Greta, Human Carson, Blood, Implied/Referenced Sexual Assault, Implied/Referenced Killing, Alcohol Use, New York City, Paranormal characters, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Meet Cute, Lesbian Sex. Summary: Vampire Greta was fine being a protector of women and having affairs that were temporary. It kind of came with the whole “being a vampire and living for centuries” thing. Until one fateful night, a chance encounter rescuing a pretty little blonde, leads to her finding the love of her life Carson Shaw. When she meets the human, she mist decide if she is really satisfied with her nomadic existence, or if she is ready to build a life with someone whose lifespan will definitely be much shorter than her own. TW: brief reference to an attempted sexual assault, brief description of a killing of a bad guy, neither explicit, but proceed at your pace and comfort level. Prequel to “Carson’s Silver Bangles”.

Honestly I think that is a good plan for Greta. If they are going to be together through this, keeping Carson’s routine stable is important.

Carson better her word!!!!!!

I thought this was perfect discussion, esp in light of recent events.

New poem on Substack inspired by video. This baby’s defiance has lit a 🔥 in my ❤️.

A few lines from poem.

What is peace
To a violent nation?
One that snatches babies
From their mother’s arms.
At graduations
At schools
At work
On slave auctions blocks
In court.
