If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

Our release for @peculiarityshop.bsky.social was a wild success. Half the items were gone by day one. I still have three weeks to Halloween and spooky stuff I'd love to move.

Don’t forget to fill the survey. The boat & jet ski people will. They have the whole lake & there are so few proper swimming areas.
🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨

Spent the afternoon cooking summer produce and I'm pooped. Zucchini arugula soup, tomato soup, plum anise jam, pickled zucchini, jerk peach hot sauce is done. Quick pickling hot peppers tomorrow, maybe also making a hot pepper relish.

I need to do so much gardening this weekend. Autumn harvest things need to be planted now. Late summer veg needs to be picked (I need to do something with these tomatoes omg). Hydroponics need to be cleaned out and prepped, seedlings need to be started.

It all feels a bit overwhelming.

Weird run today. I felt like I had lots of energy but the legs were lead, one knee was crampy.

Still, gave it everything I had and now it's done. And that's the halfway mark! 4 more weeks until 5k!

Week three complete.
I can't wait to get back on track so I can finish on Saturday next week. Sunday runs suuuck.

This is important and you should read it. The Hugos really need to do better.
Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

Absolutely brutal training run this morning. I have to keep reminding myself that these are the building runs; these are the ones that make you strong.

Muddling through 6 more hours of work when all I want is a snack and a nap. 😴

Finished week 2/8 of my couch to 5k trainer today. Managed to get a little more speed in and I feel really ready for next week's runs. I'm excited to get back to it! I put it off for far too long.

A day late, but week one of my couch to 5k training is complete. Only 7 more to go!

Last week was kind of a bust but I've started my 5k training in earnest this week. I'm pretty excited to get back to it.

I'm dying to drop the weight I put on stress eating through the pandemic, and looking very much forward to signing up for some races again.

Today is it. Starting back on my running journey.

I'll be starting from scratch, using my Zombies, run! couch to 5k training app. (While it still exists.)

Wish me luck.

They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

"About 300,000 deaths, most of them children."

Currently watching and judging people who are talking about getting Musk to work with the Democrats, as if politics were a sport and no-one else in the world existed apart from American citizens.

I've been wanting to tell my widowhood story publicly for years, but I know I don't have the kind of grief story people want to hear.

No community rallied, no family healed, no strength discovered.

I wrote about the gap between grief narratives and reality.
