It's always fun when a new group of readers start the series and are going through and talking about it at around the same rate =] Seems like for this batch, Stripes and her motmot bodyguards are the most popular. A motmot art by @toadalled

The Crackling Sea variant cover

Did you know patrons got a special variant cover of The Crackling Sea where Grenkin has his iconic eye patch?

It's true! And the ebook version with the eye patch is still available at the ebook and up levels at https://patreon.com/kvalenagle

As a bonus, you help out a trans author during Pride =)

"What would a Pride Parade be like in Belamuria?" Well, it would definitely involve Cielle flying around in the various pride colors. That much is for sure. Naya and Biski would run a plumage-dyeing station for trans peafowl and cardinals to get the right colors. Whisper and Flicker would be there, and Flicker would tell everyone who would listen that she and Whisper are "Summer Friends." 🎨 @artoffleeks

As of right now, there's 2,525 left to go on the fundraiser, and it looks like I'm going to need all of it after all because my lodging plans may have fallen through. So, please, if you can, share this around or kick in whatever you can, because there's only a few days to go and I have to make sure I can make it through this. Thank you.

Flashback to the time I complained that pride flags didn't have gryphons on them as @stupidshepherd made the entire world a better place to stop my yowling =]

Native Yard Life Lessons: Rabbitbrush

Had a lot of good advice from friends in my lifetime, but for this year in particular, I can hear Andrew saying: "At some point, every human being has to ask themselves how much rabbitbrush they want in their lives, and if they really want rabbitbrush there."

...now I want to write a story where aliens abduct a dozen raccoons and go down to the stasis chamber to find their new acquisitions have escaped and are crawling through the UFO breaking things.

I really want a science fiction story where aliens come to invade earth and effortlessly wipe out humanity, only to be fought off by the wildlife.

They were expecting military resistance. They weren’t counting on bears.

I revisited the little flock of pride gryphons! I'm so excited for bi people cause honestly that one came out so cute, anyone repping these feathery little bundles is gonna get so many compliments.

You can check out my gryphon buddies on Redbubble and Teepublic! (Repeating pattern is only on Redbubble!)

If you have a question about a flag not shown please read this before commenting! I appreciate it.

My goodness, I was looking for something in my media folder and stumbled across this photo of maybe our first table at a convention ever. We had copies of Eyrie and Ashen Weald... but not Starling yet! Must've been maybe July-ish 2019?

I haven't really started feeling better on IVIG yet, but I decided to take today and see if I can get some writing done. I get depressed when I can't write, and I've been able to write through some tough medical stuff with a little (lot) of trial and error. So today is all about writing.

(When I was on SCIG, dose increases usually involved 3-5 weeks of exhaustion, so here at the three week mark, it's not too unusual. I also don't know if 8 weeks without antibodies is affecting things... or even if IVIG works like SCIG in that regard. Either way, I miss being able to write, so let's see if I can figure out a way to make this work yet.)

A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:

Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.

Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.
