All-patron webchat at 11:11am EST today, chat is open. (Patreon)

Hello loves

Melting America, censorship is stark, my own brain and pen are on fire, the light is hitting the hallway mirror quite gorgeously this morning. Ash took this photo himself. I’m proud.

I got a number of concerned messages after my post last night. Don’t worry: I’m absolutely fine. Just learning a lot of horror and having to face the process of dynamiting some real blackness in this cave. Outside: the light.

The poetic resonance between my personal situation and the situation in the country at the moment is worthy of its own opera. It’ll end with us all in a better place: of this I am certain.

I still believe in that long arc of justice, no matter what my songs say.

Hold fast.

Today’s quickie webchat was billed as a book club check-in but let’s just call it what it is: a hello. We all need it.

This is a short one, just an hour or so. All patrons welcome, bring a coffee, bring a wine, we will touch on what’s going on, the themes of the books as a jumping off point, and feel free to drop anything in the Q&A.

See you soon. Check in here and start chatting with one another. The community is what we make it. Go. I’ll join you soon.
