"Despair is a black leather jacket that everyone looks good in. Hope is a frilly, pink dress that exposes the knees." @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social
Coming July 2025
It's been fifty years since magery returned to the north. The citizens of the Sharren Accord have enjoyed decades of peace and prosperity.
Giadella Marteen didn't mean to ruin that.

Thousands of years from now... humans have long since left a depleted Earth, and much of what we know about it is forgotten or confused.
But the arts are thriving, and two drama graduates find something unexpected when they make a pit stop to find parts to fix their tea machine...
An Unscheduled Stop: a short story inspired by Orford Ness

Yesterday I was on 2XX radio in Canberra to chat about this year’s Rising Tide protestival.
Had a lovely convo with Annie about decision-making processes that leave nobody behind, and what it’s like to get arrested and how we stay true to the foundations of non violent direct action and civil disobedience grounded in radical love.
The interview will be online for about 30 days if you want to listen.

Some folks seem to think, because I write hopeful stories, I must be a naive waif tripping thru the world on daisy dust or some shit.
Truth: *HulkMeme.gif* I'm always angry. I fight the hopelessness demon *a lot*.
These stories have power because they help fight the demon.
For me and for others.
The sun was slowly climbing over the horizon, bathing everything in warm, morning light. Flocks of docile clouds dotted the sky, a welcome contrast to the angry storms of the last week. All-in-all a perfect start for a haircut day.
With a cup of steaming hot wakeup tea in hand, I went through my morning routine. Energy storage was full, thanks to the storms, and I diverted incoming power from the wind farm to Bearlington, they still had capacity. Two turbines with reduced efficiency and a couple of blades due for their checkups. I sent a message to the maintenance list. Solar output was way down, but we'd take care of that today.
I took a careful sip of tea and scrunched my face. This harvest had extra punch. The startup routine for the drone went through without issues and I loaded the shears and chainsaw before I took my seat, which made the load indicator turn yellow. Curse those cookies. Well, as they say: "fly yellow, it's mellow".
The trip up the mountainside to our solars went smooth and I saw that two drones had already landed. Sam and Juri were chatting and drinking tea when I joined them.
"Pretty early and pretty fast, this year." Sam said, as she drew work areas onto a map on her tablet and sent them to us. The mild and wet weather had made the forest spill into the clearing for the panels, and reclaim what was rightfully hers.
"Jup." Juri laughed and let his hydro shears clack. "Time for a haircut!"
