I don't normally talk much outside my boring life, but just to be clear:

I believe in things like all people deserve food, water, healthcare and housing, nobody's illegal, black lives matter, acab, queer and trans people are valid, and punching nazis is good.

So yeah.

Welp. Guess I called it 4 months ago. Le oof.

Maybe not next, but I'd bet Seattle/Portland to be up closer to the top of the list.

Which city will earn their National Guard deployment next? Taking bets.

Black comedy neo-noir with a murder.. close enough, right?

I was digging the instrumentation until that chorus, and then the autotune just makes it sound so flat. So close.

Been listening nearly non-stop the last 3-4 days; This station and DJ are absolutely my jam and has been tons of bangers. As a fellow DJ, I'm doggone impressed. Definitely gonna stay in my regular rotation.

I mean, I literally have a random picture from a few years ago wearing identical coveralls and looking like Frankie (minus hat) and all my friends agree that I was destined to do this cosplay. Super excited!

A picture of Frankie from new show Knights of Guinevere, a strong, plus-size caucasian woman with bushy brown hair, brown coveralls with one strap hanging loose, a white turtleneck shirt, and a purple hat flexing an arm to the viewer, with her eyes closed.

Next weekend I'll be DJing a local SF/Fantasy Convention here in Portland; I've been working on my playlists all weekend and I'm super hyped for this. Even better, my Frankie hat & Boombox plus from @knightsofguinevere.bsky.social arrived today in time for me to debut a Frankie cosplay! Can't wait!

The ability to finally do online radio / streaming legally with proper licensing & attribution is *finally* starting to be affordable and feasible; (the technology has been around for 20+ years, the licensing to do it legally, not so much) and now I'm very much wanting to resurrect my old radio show

I'm gonna give you pointed looks that say "You should get a first aid kit and a small fire extinguisher for your car." With total love and support of course. But still, pointed looks.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

I managed to get *one* a couple weeks ago. But now it's gone off the app. I think they pivoted quick and swapped from Decades to 2000's faster than normal.

Decided to try the Chili Cheese Burrito from Taco Bell's Decades menu yesterday. This thing is evil 'cos it may be the best thing I've ever had. Better enjoy this for the limited time.

Yesterday I got my second belated birthday gift for myself (as well as treating myself after all the sickness I've had the last two weeks) a glow in the dark purple slime drip Spooky tumbler. Yes it's from Bougie Coffee™️ but mainly it appeals to us ghosthead goths. 🎃👻

Me screaming "it's against the law!" won't stop someone who wants me dead; It's not a magic spell. In that moment I would rather count on self defense as the thing I *can* do and wield.

Sabrina the Middle-Aged Butch™ (aka Rivet) @snarkytomboy.bsky.social · 8d

Honestly, your wonder & sense of joy at the world and the season is uplifting. I try to embody a similar energy. I suspect you would be very comforting to share coffee or tea with. :)

I say this frequently - "should" is not a magic power or force field. Too many folks are still stuck doing magical thinking instead of recognizing the existing reality that folks are doing whatever the f they want.

The “but that’s illegal” crowd is going to find out soon what those of us on the academic and research side have been saying for months is true in that you cannot “legally” fight a legal fascist framework when countering fascism is seen as terrorism and illegal

Stephen Miller again lashes out at the judiciary, suggesting federal judges are aiding and abetting domestic terrorism:

Today I managed to double my usual activities for a weekend that I normally would do out of the house and I'm not in as much pain, nor completely wiped out/spoon drained. Perhaps the new physical therapy & meds I'm taking are working.

Sabrina the Middle-Aged Butch™ (aka Rivet) @snarkytomboy.bsky.social · 9d

I got stomach flu / norovirus yesterday, likely from my rolling petri dish on wheels I work in. This fall has been very un-fun so far, because I'm tired of being sick all the time. This sucks.

Follow up Doc appt turned into new bp meds, an EKG and more blood work. Ope. Not fun, but at least this doc takes my health seriously. I can live with that.

Sabrina the Middle-Aged Butch™ (aka Rivet) @snarkytomboy.bsky.social · 15d

Been trying to minimize my time doomscrolling for my mental health. It's helping. Feeling better, being productive, esteem is better. Feeling confident, my esteem is better. Working on fine-tuning my butch/tomboy aesthetic a little. But also damnit, I'm worthy of love, flirting, and dating. Nyah.

Sabrina the Middle-Aged Butch™ (aka Rivet) @snarkytomboy.bsky.social · 15d

I did a quick google and apparently most of the internet and I are actually wrong. Phooey. :(

And apparently I'm wrong, despite seeing this in IMDB trivia even, this is apparently an urban myth that's been propogating for quite a while:

Well, that's the prevailing story in film theory/history that led to Giger's art style / Xenomorph designs, anyway. That's good enough for me.

Finally, autism has arrived

A happy little puppy jumping out of a leaf pile with maple, oak and birch leaves! A surprised woolly bear caterpillar is also going flying. The puppy has a pumpkin on his head and his paws are against his cheeks in delight and excitement. Around him are the words IT'S FINALLY AUTISM!
