Frankenbutch as Severian from Book of the New Sun for more OC Halloween costumes.

A woman built from various parts Frankenstein style holding a massive sword with a dark cape explaining who she's dressed as and that it's because they're both from the Southern Cone and there's odd business with brains about.

Since I’m ending the night 💤 posting transgender, non-binary, demisexual, and intersex musical artists for the next while … let’s start with opera singer and trans activist Holden Madagame who is basically slaying this Clara Schumann number.

G’night!

Paperback interior formatted (5 x 8 with 13 point font bc it’s a smol novel and it’s hard to format the spine if it’s too thin, plus I can’t handle tiny font so I don’t do that anymore)

Tomorrow I’ll do the paperback cover (already designed—just need to fit to size).

Progress!

Just completed FINAL EDITS for Disposable Magic & made my epub. Huge thanks to my editor & marine biology fact-checker @amphipodgirl.bsky.social

November is looking good for launch once I format the paperback.

Cephalopod-on-cephalopod romance with trans themes & ecoterrorism, coming your way soon!

Disposable Magic by Dani Finn, showing a large octopus and a tiny one looking at each other in an underwater bubble with black ooze dripping down on them from above.

This is not medical advice, I’m not a physical therapist, etc but I don’t think it can hurt you assuming a certain level of arm strength (& you can start with something lighter like a regular hammer)

Obviously you want to do it regularly, but even one set like this makes a difference (and reminds me to keep doing it)

My old PT taught me this one trick I still use whenever my elbow gets wonky from too much computer time:

I take a 5-lb sledgehammer, put my elbow on a table, and slowly do 10 reps side to side, like I’m arm wrestling.

Same on the other arm

Back & forth to 20 or 30 total

Immediate relief for me
