Keep Hoping Machine Running

About the Author

Daisy, a fair-skinned woman with freckles and shoulder-length curly auburn hair held back by a light pink headband, stands with one hand resting on a tree and the other on her hip, wearing an ankle-length coral-colored dress with textured dots all over it, short puffed sleeves, a tie neckline, and a smock waist

I'm a totally blind queer poet, a radical leftist, a horror fanatic, a voracious bookworm, a crazy cat lady, a half-serious witch, equal parts shimmer and simmer, rapture and rage. I live in a rickety old house in Oklahoma with three cats and I spend my days writing, reading, watching horror movies, and trying to find ways to make money that don't make me want to die. I have a chronic illness and some neurodivergence which complicate traditional employment paths for me.

Creating with words is what matters most to me, and if you would like to read my published writing, you can do so at Corvid Queen and at Lavender Review. This blog is a place for me to think, dream, create, process, play, and document outside of traditional social media models, and I would love it if you came along for the journey. It's not a newsletter and it won't be updated on a schedule, but my hope is that each entry will bring something to those who read it that wasn't there before.
