Alyus The Amazing

Xena art gifted to me by and my eldest sibling I love when I get gifted art of any kind, but Xena holds a special place in my heart. Thank you!!!

Lovely day to do the rooftop reading at the GetLit festival and Bookfair. There were so many wonderful talented writers and I’m so thankful that I got to be among them. ☺️

FOUND DOG!!! — Looking for a loving home 🐾
My friend Lacey found this sweet little Pomchi wandering near Cincinnati & Rowan and has been keeping her safe while we try to find her family or a good home.
Unfortunately, we can’t keep her ourselves, but she’s an absolute sweetheart. She just had a bath today and is fresh, clean, and looking adorable. She’s been very gentle with kids, gets along well with other dogs and cats, and enjoys calm, friendly company.
She clearly belongs with a family who will love her.
If this might be your dog, or if you or someone you know could give her a safe home, please message me. Even sharing this post helps us get her seen by the right person.
Let’s help this little girl find her people ❤️🐶

I wrote this and read this out loud for memorial for Renee Nicole Good tonight. We came together in honor of a fellow poet and a fellow human that was taken from this world because of hatred. One of the hosts read out the 32 other people who have died at the hands of ICE in 2025 and even though I have read the list myself, the gravity of hearing the list out loud as we stood on the Post st bridge surrounded by the beautiful Spokane River hit me hard. To be there in the presence of so many Poets with so much love and rage was powerful. It was an honor to be able to stand with my community and be able to be so vulnerable and be met with love and support. Grief does not lessen because it is smaller,
but because it is no longer carried alone.
