I spent most of today reading Acts of Speech aloud to do proofreading. At some point over the summer (not on the day I was aiming for in my annual goals, AKA eleven-ish days from now, because I don't know what I'm doing), the poetry book will be self-published, and I'll finally have a copy … Continue reading Verses from my Teens

Some Updates
I have three blog post drafts going right now. Two have existed as drafts for longer than expected because they are proving more complicated than originally envisioned. The third is a short thing related to coping with the pandemic, which I will probably delete. This post is better due to being a bit more useful … Continue reading Some Updates
Divination: Looking Back at 2019
Annually on the new secular year, I do what many do: a divination spread that outlines what I can expect in the coming year, the good and the bad.

The distinction seemed nonsensical to me, a way of slicing up and fragmenting a fundamental position about Gods being many and … Continue reading Theological Thoughts, Collated, at the End of a Gregorian Decade
Light-Scattered Fire Upon Us
For Acts of Speech, in the "public" (not performance) section, I'm writing a few poems that focus on intersections of myth, modern astronomy/cosmology, sometimes philosophy, and the Gods, with the core idea that on some level, the physical things I am discussing are symbols that can easily and smoothly connect to stories and concepts that are … Continue reading Light-Scattered Fire Upon Us
The Commonplace Book Tag (and some comments on reading Platonic texts)
So, I've started a new tag on this blog called commonplace book. Whenever I share a roundup of quotations from what I'm reading, it will have this tag. I'm consolidating various types of content on this blog, which is exciting to me because it will have somewhere stable to live. Within the commonplace book tag, most … Continue reading The Commonplace Book Tag (and some comments on reading Platonic texts)
