I am OnyxRose, and this is my new home base! I am so happy you found me! Both the site and the newsletter were conceived to further my vision. Take your time while you look through the site. Browse leisurely. In these tabs you find creativity (one hopes), truth, visibility, depth, softness, and persistence, as well as life lived at many intersections. I understand, that especially in these times, artists need to step up, speak to the resistance, keep morale up, speak truth in whichever way possible. My way is through my pen. I hope I can do it justice!!!

I finally did it!! I made the jump to beehiiv from Substack!!

Almost everything that I have published on Substack can be found here. I will still be doing lives on Substack, and dropping notes, as well.

Everything else, all fresh and new content will be dropped here. New musings, new fiction, new poetry, new essays of me digging into my brain, metaphysical stuff ( pulling cards, talking about crystals, orisha, and more…everything new.

As I have written before, all longform content will be loaded here instead of Substack.

I will be writing a compilation-type newsletter, Dawn’s In Trouble, Must Be Tuesday.”

Connect your email, and you’ll instantly get a CRM with enriched customer insights and a platform that grows with your business.

The title is a reference to the tv show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show is very near and dear to my heart, hence the title. Do you know who first says this line in the show. It’s___. Wait, did you actually think I was going to give it away that easy?? Nah. Buffy is so much fun!! Like BtVS, this newsletter will contain “monsters of the week.” It will also touch on current events, goings on, queer news, and all sorts of goodies, for the previous week, and what may be coming up the next week.

I want you, dear reader, to enjoy. Meander through the pages. If you don’t have time, come back and enjoy. The browsing is intuitive and set up so that if you are tired of one category, you can change to another one quickly. There is enough information to digest in small chunks. When you are ready for more, it will be here. Continue to enjoy the content. While you’re at it, hit that subscribe button. It will ensure that you continue to get my content! It also lets me know that you appreciate the emotional labor (labor of love for most writers) that I continue to pore into this page, and my writing. The subscribe button is highlighted in pink(On Wednesdays we wear pink. Yay!! Today is Wednesday, and my headphones are pink) to make it all the easier to find!

Oh yeah, I am a nut for certain tv shows and movies. There will definitely be ruminations, and discussion (from my mind to the page), torn to pieces, and put back together for enjoyment, both yours and mine. Oy with the poodles, already!

Some flags/pics to rep my existence!

Honestly, there are up to eight more images I could put here, but you get the idea. My writing is informed by my disabilities and ailments, intersecting with gender, sexuality, family life, and a host of other crossroads-type intersections; meeting, divulging information, then ducking back into the shadows to be retrieved another time. I hope that you enjoy a peek into my world!!!

Á bientôt!
