IMPORTANT: if you misgender me, but then correct yourself, I consider your correction to ALSO be an apology! No need to feel guilty, ashamed, or say "sorry." It's important to focus on the positive momentum (using the right pronoun), and celebrate that success together. Doing so creates a positive association with the correct pronoun in your mind, which will actually increase the likelihood of using it again in the future!

It's almost Mother's Day; and if your relationship with your mom is toxic please know that your feelings are valid, you're not alone, boundaries are healthy, and I love you.

WOO! 🤩 My NFT is now available - https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/83745358463599117096127916057217380781053415610120457603871034552953627213825​​​​​​​ - this exclusive digital token will only be minted ✨once✨, and has the hyper-rare status of being the first NFT I've forged 😳 Check it out, if you're freaky like that! 💖

So I made an NFT (if you're freaky like that 😉) - it goes on sale in a few days and is made with characters from Oh My Gods! - a neopagan comic strip I started in college, with a run of 7 years, and +2000 strips 💖 it was a wild, beautiful ride, and I feel blessed for all the joy it brought into the world (and 7 children, too!)

In college I created 'Oh My Gods!' - a neopagan comic strip. 7 years later, after +2000 strips, I released an Omnibus (print & digital) of the entire collection. Today, it's also available on Kindle! Wee!

Ooooh, now THIS is interesting! Way to go Marvel for continuing to raise the bar on what comics can be - ESPECIALLY with such an important tentpole in your collection!

With #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons adding in warp pipes (a movement-based quality of life improvement), giving residents the ability to store more items at home, and adding extra pattern slots I am starting to hope for a future where we see even more quality of life changes ✨🙏🏻✨

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.”
