Journalist. Writer. Photographer. Beginner at the flute. NJ-NY.
And I do my share of cooking. Better for my health than indulging in Popeyes too often (I do love their chicken).
I am also a writer of speculative fiction, particularly fantasy, science fiction, science fantasy. A gamer and LARPer, started in high school and continue to LARP in my silver years at 53. Sometimes I am Shakespearean in my theatrics and comedy.
Since it was my birthday a couple days ago, let's get re-acquainted. Hi there. I'm a tech journalist (editor, writer, photographer) from NJ, but my posts here are personal. I am progressive when it comes to politics and social support. My reposts and likes will reflect that.
Happy World Dracula Day (best I can do are photos from past vampire events).
Today's reminder that Black history includes living achievers, not just examples from a distant past. #BlackHistoryMonth
A little reminder as we celebrate Black History Month. Don't get lost in despair. Get in good trouble. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Hobbit-worthy, holiday brunch before I get down to business today.
Now that Christmas Eve is upon us, Santa's little helpers will be out and about...
Got my solo Thanksgiving plan ready to go. Just need some cranberry sauce. It's an efficient delivery system foe dinner.
Yesterday was a mix of laundry, flute practice, cleaning, and crafting a shiny LARP sword. Today, I pack my gear for next weekend--and make plans to keep up the good fight.
Blessed Samhain. Happy Halloween. May the uplifting of spirits start with your own and the magic that touches you come from within. And if you find yourself in other places and spaces, perhaps that's where you are meant to be.
I got the chance to fulfill a dream today and meet her at an album signing.
A little something to brighten the end of the week. At the signing for "Better Broken" from Sarah McLachlan.
I think at this point, I should give the local Great Blue Heron a nickname. Suggestions?
Trying some mental and emotional multitasking -- remaining outraged and activated, exploring ways I can take a stand against "all THIS" while also listening to the #KPopDemonHunters soundtrack. The positivity of "Golden" can actually fuel resistance and resilience.
From my morning walk, my lucky Great Blue Heron returned. Until the heat breaks, limiting my time outdoors.
Good morning. Wish all of our days could be as simple as making s'mores around a campfire.
Just some of the photos from the Wolf Conservation Center. I booked the visit long before world and personal events according. It was a nice respite before returning to the world.
Spending my Saturday in the company of wolves (with fencing between us) at a wolf conservation center.
Far bigger things than my birthday are happening in the world today, but here's me playing my flute at my local park very briefly. (I didn't consider the background noise when I decided to do this, apologies in advance).
