@honeybjackson@DifferentUnity Keep going! I haven’t published a book but I’ve talked to a lot of ppl who have— doing it themselves and doing it through a publisher. I’m happy to talk about it, I’m hoping to publish a book someday too
Freedom passed into light on Thurs. A good boy🥹🐕✨
Our family gathered w/ him on Wed. Daughter’s family returned home from vacation playing in the cool AZ mountains. This souvenir gift in hand.
The Freedom stories we shared connect to this mug now. TY4 your care🩵#MugMonday
Meaningful change can feel excruciatingly hard, embarrassing slow & messy. People/systems who try to tame what is wild, are misleading💔
Understanding, wisdom, healing unfold from Love, a gentle persistent nudging toward truth😌
Be reassured, we’re good🩵 #SundayFlower
ASU has now turned on the sprinklers to deter pro-Palestine protesters. Protesters are putting bags and items on top of the sprinklers to stop them from spraying.
Would love if you gave my latest newsletter a read -- it's about what a local community center receiving extremist harassment, building safe spaces, and delicious vegan tamales - The Elusive Safe Space https://t.co/r0WuoVKXRh
How much do I love this mug? A lot.❤️
Yes, let’s bring about positive change, revolutionize systems to provide care & a greater good for all 🖤
And the person or task in front of us now, however small or marginalized, matters. Love washes the dishes. 🩵 #MugMonday
Sometimes takers get all the attention. Stories old & new focus on wrongdoers.
Yet life is filled with unsung people of goodwill. Un-influential in the background, unnoticed, feeling helpless, doing right🩵
Little ways, kind & caring. Hope pointing to Light ✨ #SundayFlower

People ask me, “Justin, how did you manage to write three slim books in only 33 years as a writer?” And the answer is simple: Write. Every. Year. It doesn’t matter how much; it might be just a few sentences. But I NEVER let an entire year go by without writing once or twice.
“The spirit of the age laughs in vain, and is itself only a ripple to pass, or already passing away.” —Fairy & Folk Tales of Ireland edited by WB Yeats
“I come from a tradition of Irish artists where I am principally concerned with affecting my society. ... Artists are supposed to act as an emergency fire service when it comes to spiritual conflict..." O'Connor told The Times in 2012. h/t @DifferentUnity for the beautiful art <3

In 2020 I found @rejectionlit & they published a piece of my flash fiction (my 1st) & it was a huge encouragement— when I saw @lexicola’s novel was their first book I was THRILLED 🖤 Lexi & I talked about indie publishing & much more for @BOMBmagazine https://t.co/UHRCcBLt94
