@zinniaiowa.bsky.socialJames Baldwin sums up the human dilemma in a single sentence.
Life becomes exhausting when we try to bargain with what is essential: nothing matters more than love.
Postponing it will always be an irreversible loss.

@wrinklyspoon.bsky.social"...that love is the fusion in the sun's core. Love is the blurring of pronouns. Love is the subject and the object. The difference between its presence and absence is the difference between life and death."
- David Mitchell, The Bone Clocks (2014)

@zinniaiowa.bsky.socialA serene space for reading is essential.
This afternoon, I’m returning to James Baldwin with "Giovanni’s Room"—a work that was controversial in its time.
It raises an inevitable question: how much has American society really changed?
@zinniaiowa.bsky.socialFar from being merely superfluous, fashion shares with art the urgency of confession.
Baldwin captures this lucidly: the creative act demands telling the whole story.
With every silhouette and texture we choose, we reveal a fragment of who we are.
@junipmothchaser.bsky.socialA little piece inspired by an Ursula K Le Guin quote that reminded me of one of my ocs :)
Featured character: Rain Nelson, supernatural investigator and podcaster
![A person in a yellow raincoat and boots holds their bandaged arms out to their sides in the center of the piece. The orange outlines of a crown, antlers, and cloth wings are arrayed behind them. In the same orange is the quote “[…] I am an artist and therefore a liar. Don’t listen to me. I am telling the truth.” -Ursula K Le Guin](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:fbbigbw7dgdw47e5tkltloua/bafkreib6gncxpe3ypuvoyfuwiopshhxuuhdttjvn3xs2w7luopzuvirhiq@jpeg)
