Oops! Still learning. Forgot this in promoting! I am so proud of this piece of writing! This is the launch of some characters, dreaming, scheming, or just figuring out how to “be” in this world, wishing reality, were different, indeed. A series, now developing, let’s see where it takes us. Enjoy!
One day, on my way home from an evening of painting—a new technique I wanted to try, I was so flustered that I created this. I seem to have a problem with those in authority these days. I wonder why. #SparkleOasis #TheFairyTaleToldInReverse #SparkleLandUniverse #ArtInMotion #UnexpectedMagic

Still recommending—commentary, —evergreen. Humans—-behaving, in similar ways. I see it. So do you. What are we going to do about it though? I recall when profit-geared Evangelicals preached on the Janitor and the Parking Attendant—treat them kindly. #SparkleLandUniverse #TheFairyTaleToldInReverse

I understand how algorithms work. I understand they sew division, they sew hate. Want to know what I hate worse though? I hate that each morning when I awake, there’s a story about harm—the ones that cause the most alarm, are those about first children, then women and any other minority. #cornell

Last night? I stopped at what I call the FEAR stop now. I’m still working on “taking it back.” That takes a while, once stolen. There’s a photo of the Big Dipper on some of my pages. It was the “surprise” one taken which I some of on that artistic creation. This shot, it’s cool, taken from inside.

Some, reminiscing about “the old days”—want to bring them back. I recall when old people were known to be more kind. I recall a time when young people felt safer around them. Can we bring that back—instead? In my lived experience, categories, division? That popular movie from then—not funny now.

We talk about the American Dream like it’s still “Death of a Salesman”—most days it feels like “American Psycho.” A culture of individualism, fear, and boys raised without a village. Full breakdown found in Notes #SparkleLandUniverse #FairyLore #America #Movies #Cult #AmericanDream #CultureCritique

Conversation is an art — but somewhere along the way, people started calling the authorities instead of using their mouths in open‑use spaces, respectfully, that is.

When I observe the mourning and gnashing of social media teeth, the chatter, the beauteous words, as they describe her soul, so light as a feather. Then, I can’t help but wonder. Why hers, we need her more than the other. Her light, it lead, it discovered. His, it stole, it took what mattered.

I love a good romance novel. I’ve not found one I’ve liked, in quite a while. I’d heard through the grapevine, they want books like these banned. 🧚♂️Snarky Sparkle Fairy glitters and flutters, her glittery wings dusting into a poof! She stomps, her tiny feet, hitting nothing but air. Let them try!

Lately, there’s been a shift. Its almost as if the direction which was more chaotic, is now more in alignment. The synchronicities, they’re multiplying and theres no denying it. Energy is as energy does. In this story though, the beginning is in the ending. I’m writing a FairyTale in Reverse. 9+1=10
