Rachel Pollack is still with us as I type this. Here's an Interview done in 1994 by Erik Davis with me and Rachel for Gnosis Magazine. We were in NYC to work on the Vertigo Tarot together. It's the only time I can remember that the two of us did an Interview:

Neil Gaiman later told me that this three-way discussion with SF writer Rachel Pollack was the favorite interview he had given.

My friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.
@neilhimself Please do pass on my love if you are able 💜
@neilhimself Thank you for letting us know. I presented at a few tarot events with Rachel over the years and we always had so much fun. She is an inspiration to so, so many and I feel so blessed to have known her and that she was always so supportive of my work. I haven't seen her for a few years but my thoughts have been with her a great deal, knowing she has been going through so much. What a legacy and what a remarkable woman. She shall be so missed. 💜🙏

So very excited about the new version of my solo show, Quintessence, directed by the wonderful Susan Luciani and also her new two-hander, Shadowless, in which I will be playing a mysterious shaman. Devon folks, get ye to @PloughArts in May!

Following the success of Edie's War which premiered at The Plough last year, writer/director Susan Luciani returns with QUINTESSENCE  'Quintessence' by Emily Carding (+ 'Tales From Set' a talk by Susan Luciani)

“Emily Carding is one of the UK’s leading Shakespearean actors“ THE STAGE QUINTESSENCE, written and performed by award-winning actor Emily Carding, features an AI robot programmed to re-start humanity after an ecological disaster on Planet Earth, with the complete works of Shakespeare as its guide to the human spirit. Originally commissioned by the London Science Museum, the play debuted at Brighton Fringe festival where it won the fringe review’s Outstanding Theatre award. Susan Luciani directs, bringing her signature epic-scale stylised visuals and soundscape to the production.

As part of my nightly devotional work I draw three cards, one from each of my decks, and layer them.

Just love today's card combination!

The Star from Tarot of the Sidhe , The Moon from The Transparent Tarot and The Artist (one of the seven new archetype cards) from The Transparent Oracle

I'm enjoying mastodon so far but wow, all the comments about how white it is are extremely right. Almost all the other trans folks I've found have been white, and I know that isn't representative of the real world or even likely mastodon as a whole. I'd love to hear more from trans and queer POC (and POC all up, I've just been connecting with a LOT of trans folks).

Can anyone boost this to help me find more voices to listen to? Or recommend some hashtags? I don't even know how best to tag this.

Reunited online with my #zoomingshakespeare chums for a slightly belated #TwelfthNight. My Sir Toby had one charts hit in the 70s, spent all his royalties on booze and drugs and is now using the shadow of his fame to manipulate poor Sir Andrew into believing that hanging out with him and funding his bad habits is the coolest #actorslife
#Christmas is afoot in the Carding household 💚
