GOFUNDMES FOR LEWISTON SHOOTING VICTIMS

For those of you that DON'T know, Lewiston, Maine experienced a mass shooting on Wednesday. I am not from that part of the state, but the state is very tight knit. You're probably 3 degrees of separation from someone, maybe 5 or 6 if you're really pushing it. The suspect has not been taken into custody because they cannot find him.

These are 16 of the 18 confirmed deaths. 13 were injured. If you can donate, please donate. If you're in the state, go donate blood if you're eligible. UPDATE: suspect was found deceased. I think everyone is feeling an immense sense of relief at the news he cannot hurt another person. That being said, the community still has a lot of healing to do.

Grindle Point Light, Islesboro, Maine. In the summer, Grindle Point Light is one of the only lighthouses in the state that permits the public to climb to the top of the tower. It and the adjacent Sailor's Museum are located right next to the ferry landing, so no need to walk far when visiting (zero cars on this picturesque island.)

Hate Hard, the Beer Poems, and Building the Life You Want

I’ve been going through holes of Reels and short-form videos at night lately, watching people remodel their house or home, decorate for holidays, and then, um, being an Amazon affiliate. At the same time, a lot of the writers I work with are having BIG DOUBT MOMENTS as they query and read Twitter/X and see authors behaving badly or agents behaving badly or people getting yelled at for sucking at…

@codywanweek Day Seven: Modern AU: Rural type jobs (farmer/cowboy/homesteader)

This is from an AU that's been floating around my thoughts that originally started with an idea for a Codywan meet-cute where Obi-Wan owns a bookshop and Cody is one of the Valentine's Bandits that operates in Portland, Maine-- they meet when Obi-Wan stays late at his bookshop the night before Valentine's Day, and catches Cody in the act of putting up a heart on Obi-Wan's storefront :)

The Fetts are a family of (mostly) lobstermen in this AU, so I thought it'd be cute to draw for today's prompt 🦞 (Cody is also a carpenter! I've encountered it a few times and I liked it so much I decided to incorporate it into my own modern AU :) )

reblogs are highly appreciated, and please do not repost my art

LIGHTHOUSES OF MAINE Together at last. This poster features an illustration of all 66 Maine lighthouses. From Whaleback Light in Kittery, East to Quoddy Head, and all the lights in between, every lighthouse has stories. Families that kept the lamps lit through blizzards, life-saving dogs, puffins brought back from the brink of extinction, even cows in row boats. All under the watch of Maine's iconic and historic towers. Each illustration depicts a bit of that lighthouse's history, past and present. Individually numbered, with the corresponding name at the bottom of the poster. -18 X 24 in (46.5 X 61 cm) -Signed -Matte finish BUY THE POSTER
