My Response is:
Perhaps the world has forgotten
the simple pleasures of laying back
watching dragons in flight.
children still dream of them,
so easily as if the dragons
are solid and real...
so why have adults forgotten?



Fireflies , smores, and that time I might have accidentally kinda started a faerie war by Alex Nonymoous
It takes a special kind of evil to be a mean girl at an autistic summer camp, but Faith Harris has been excelling at that ever since she first arrived.
Whenever that was. Despite her obsession with Faith, Lots and the rest of her cabinmates can never seem to pinpoint exactly how long they’ve known her.
Still, Lots is going to enjoy this summer. She only has a couple of years left until she’ll have to leave camp and the friendships she’s made there behind, so she’s determined to make the most of it.
Even with camp attendance dwindling. And her best friend signing up to spend a lot more time away from Lots than they’d previous discussed. And the entirety of Faerie declaring war against her cabin after Lots accidentally annoys Faith into revealing her true nature.
Yup, this summer is going to be perfect.
My Thoughts
my son bought me this for my birthday. he was super excited about it. the author is pansexual and autistic. and they write characters that show queer and autistic traits. I honestly felt seen . the story was so much fun and it was something that was truly rich characters.

my response is ( though late still )
according to the constitution
the definition of citizenship
is either one born on this soil
or one that follows the rules
and takes the tests to gain
the green card to become one.
if you stop them from getting the tests
you stop the legal process for citizenship ...
this country was founded on immigrants
the idea of immigration. the only non-immigrants were born here.
and even those were often
children of immigrants.

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
I feel like the week flies by. I swear I just posted my count yesterday.
I have a couple of new medications.

my response is :
a house with no foundation
falls in so quickly...
so too does the soul
without ego fail.
We need to build
a foundation,
stable and true...
so that with time
we know the ability
to face the truth.
So you found a new book?
Or maybe you just published one?

A new book you have coming soon ?
A piece of Art that you just finished ?

Serena’s response:
in the twilight
of the cemetery
bleeding blooms
give relief to the chaos
of the grieving souls.
Though the bleeding
is but illusionary,
it adds to the feeling
of the graveyard at night.
