New instance, new #introduction:
My name is Maika. I'm a #writer & #photographer based in #PDX where I'm surrounded by #cats, a couple #snakes, and a few #spiders. (More than a few spiders, to be sure, but most of them are tiny housemates who usually excel playing How Not to Be Seen, which is in their best interest because cats.)I'm #queer, #trans, #nonbinary, & #neurodivergent. I'm part of the mastodon.lol exodus, but I find it unreasonably daunting to write about myself so I've been procrastinating around this #intro for months. You'll find a more thorough #AboutMe at https://liminalflares.com/about
Workwise, I'm a social media director in the field of #grief education & grief support.
I'm also the creator & narrator of the #LiminalFlares #podcast (https://liminalflares.com/) - atmospheric #storytelling of #eldritch #literature (#ShortStories & #poetry) amended to be #GenderInclusive and bedecked in unearthly music by #TheParlourTrick (https://theparlourtrick.bandcamp.com/) & #eerie ambience by my dear sib, Meredith Yayanos.

You know how a song gets stuck in your head? I tend to have a number of things haunting my mind at once, including #poetry, often the work of #EmilyDickinson.
In a special mini episode of the #LiminalFlares #podcast, @theremina and I offer up a few shadowy wisps of my mental atmosphere: one of Dickinson's bewitching poems, amended to be #GenderInclusive, plus a New Year's announcement about our show.
Listen to the entire episode wherever you get your #podcasts.

Did you know that Bram Stoker's #Dracula (the #GothicHorror novel, not the swoonworthy 1992 Coppola film) originally began with a chapter that was cut before the book was published?
It was posthumously published as the #ShortStory #DraculasGuest, and now you can listen to part 2 of our #GenderInclusive revision of it wherever you get your #podcasts. 🦇
Wondering what the #LiminalFlares #podcast is all about? Check out our first episode, "A Prelude at the Threshold: https://mastodon.lol/@LiminalFlares/109462646482643486

"Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore..."
—Edgar Allan Poe, from #TheRaven
One of the ravens of Coyote Wall in the Columbia River Gorge for #PhotoMonday / #FotoMontag
Shot with a Pouva Start, using LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 120.
("The Raven" was the first piece of literature that I amended to be #GenderInclusive for the #LiminalFlares podcast, which you can listen to here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-raven-by-edgar-allan-poe/id1651897918?i=1000585066387)

@joel I created and launched my podcast, #LiminalFlares (in collaboration with my phenomenal audio engineer @theremina), which is all about creating spaces for #nonbinary / #genderqueer people using eldritch, public domain literature, and normalizing the use of #GenderInclusive language.

Time to lose ourselves in the wintry wilds of #GothicHorror courtesy of #BramStoker. Nothing says cozy winter listening (or cool summer listening, for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere) like #GenderInclusive #GothicFiction.
If you like your #hygge haunted, haunting, and NOT heteronormative, then you're already home.
Listen to the entire episode wherever you get your #podcasts!

What's better than a fervently sensuous #Victorian gothic poem with #queer subtext? One that swaps that subtext for beautifully open queerness!
For ep 7 of the #LiminalFlares #podcast I amended Christina Rossetti's #GoblinMarket to make the language #GenderInclusive, removed any ambiguity about Laura & Lizzie's relationship, and made on of them #nonbinary.
Use your headphones if you've got 'em. The audio #witchery is strong with @meryayanos.

Grab your headphones, gird your loins, and welcome to an unabashedly #Sapphic & #GenderInclusive rendition of Christina Rossetti's #GoblinMarket.
Ep 7 of the #LiminalFlares #Podcast is out now! It's an exquisitely decadent aural treat.
(If you aren't using headphones to listen to our show, we strongly encourage it, especially for this episode. @theremina pulled out all the stops and then found still more stops for this one.)

New instance #Intro part 1:
My name is Maika. I'm #queer, #trans, nonbinary, & #neurodivergent. I'm the creator and narrator of the #LiminalFlares podcast, which you can learn all about by listening to our 1st episode.
It's unlike any that follow: a personal intro, why we're here, and what makes us more than another #podcast of #spooky tales, to say nothing of our phenomenal music & audio engineering by @theremina.#GenderInclusive #Genderqueer #LGBTQIA #Eldritch #StoryTime #TheParlourTrick

What if there were a place where you could listen to haunting tales, bedecked in unearthly music without smacking into language that breaks the spell of the fiction by pretending people outside the gender binary don’t exist?
#LiminalFlares is a weekly #Podcast of bedtime stories from beyond & in-between. Join me, Maika, your #queer, #trans, #nonbinary narrator, as I read pieces of #eldritch literature amended to be #GenderInclusive.

It's #BandcampFriday and I wrote about the very first time I listened to what remains one of the most haunting and magical albums I've ever heard, A Blessed Unrest by The Parlour Trick, aka @theremina, who is also the lead musician and audio engineer extraordinaire for the #LiminalFlares podcast: https://liminalflares.com/a-blessed-unrest-ful-bandcamp-friday/

Welcome to the horrifying conclusion of #TheYellowSign, in which the #CosmicDread peaks, but that dreadful heteronormative exclusion is blissfully absent.
Listen to ep 6 of #LiminalFlares wherever you get your podcasts or at liminalflares.com. It's our best yet. I'm fairly certain @theremina is pioneering a combination of audio engineering and necromancy in this one.

Have you found #TheYellowSign? Let's hope you don't. Time to immerse ourselves in some early #CosmicHorror courtesy of #RobertWChambers. EP 3 brings all the fun of #CosmicDread and none of the dreadful #heteronormative exclusion. Listen to the entire EP wherever you get your podcasts or https://liminalflares.com/
With that, my @Mastodon catchup is done. Part 2 of The Yellow Sign comes out this Thursday!

Our first episode is unlike any that will follow. A personal story before #eldritch story time begins: an introduction of myself, your narrator, and an illustration of why I created this haunted and haunting, #GenderInclusive #podcast in the first place. Listen to the entire episode wherever you get your podcasts or at liminalflares.com and find out what makes us more than just another podcast of #spooky tales.

“As I gazed at the black-and-white landscape of the Plateau I realized that sorrow is an important word for defining the world. It lies at the foundations of everything, it is the fifth element, the quintessence.”
