Honey and Gin

Nothing to see here.

The rain and my headaches would like to curl up, burrito style, for the next several days. Alas, work calls but one can dream.

I just watched this and felt so many feelings. It was lovely and devastating. I cried so much but what a touching story.

Could really go for one of these right now!

I needed to be in the warmth, outside, amongst a giant field of sunflowers. There’s heaviness around and it will all be OK. This was just a reminder that it will truly be OK.

Oklahoma School for the Deaf has opened up FREE ASL COURSES for the Fall season this new school year and anybody can join. The courses close on December 31st of this year (2023) so if you've been thinking about learning ASL here is your opportunity to get professional lessons for FREE

If you're interested, here's the link: https://courses.osd.k12.ok.us/collections

This is a GOLDMINE for information because not only do you get free video lessons by professionals that you can do at your own pace, but there's also graded quizzes as well as resources to educate you on the history of Deaf culture as well as sub-communities within, with links to loads of different websites to read up on Deaf-related topics.

Spooky season is upon us! To celebrate I put together a few designs promoting books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! These are four of my poster designs! Again, these posters are absolutely free for you to print and use!

Schools and public libraries are under attack and need your support. They are facing quiet defunding, book bans, and acts of hate. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected, and show your support by stopping by your local library.

For additional Halloween freebies celebrating libraries and reading, click the link here!

If you would like to see more of my library/activism designs or would like to get these designs on a T-shirt, book bag, or sticker, you can visit my shop here.

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” - Neil Gaiman ✨💫⚡️✨

Surgery was a success!

I got home Tuesday evening from surgery and watched the first two episodes of this brilliant Irish show. I then spent the rest of yesterday lounging and finishing the season. Watch this immediately if you haven’t! It’s so well done and Sharon Horgan is a brilliant genius. I loved this so much and can’t wait for season 2.

Spine Time

In less than 2 weeks, I am getting another Spinal surgery on my L5/S1. It is for a discectomy and mass removal (mass at base of spine) but could become a fusion when my surgeon assesses the damage. With that being said, I will be recovering and refuse to be bored. I trust y’all the most with this request:

What are your book/audiobook/podcast recommendations?? Please give them all to me!
