As flies retreat
mosquitoes start
their battle cry

So, I was working on a picture to upload to Redbubble while listening to Fleetwood Mac (Rumors), and wondered what would happen if I pulled a tarot card as a story prompt. I pulled the Queen of Swords (an intelligent strategist who can also be described as a cold-hearted bitch) and this happened:

In case you are a creative person who likes the aesthetic of the tarot without the desire for the woo-woo, I assure you, tarot is not just used for fortune telling. Go ahead and grab that cool deck you saw, you can use it for creative prompts for art or writing, or for journaling and introspection.

Another tarot inspired short fiction, 468 words. What would you do if you found out you were married to a monster?

Black swallow wort is harmful to monarch butterflies. In my area, seed pods are almost ready to pop and spread. Remove it from your property if you can! nyis.info/invasive_species/swa

Everyone is going to cope with the news in their own way, and what they do may not work for you

Given this, now is a great time to consider cultivating columns organized around favorite hashtags

You could create a column focused on art, humor, music, foodpron--whatever makes you happy

And give THAT your attention until the US news settles slightly

That way you can see some of your favorite peeps without the provocation

Initiation Song from the Finders’ Lodge
by Ursula LeGuin

Please bring strange things.
Please come bringing new things.
Let very old things come into your hands.
Let what you do not know come into your eyes.
Let desert sand harden your feet.
Let the arch of your feet be the mountains.
Let the paths of your fingertips be your maps
and the ways you go be the lines on your palms.
Let there be deep snow in your inbreathing
and your outbreath be the shining of ice.
