I usually get all gothed up for these but this year, you get regular-ass errand-running band-shirted slightly-sleepy me. Today marks EIGHT YEARS since my ESTROGENESIS (a term I stole from the amazing and lovely @ohtiniestplanet.bsky.social, who also reminded me the day was here)! I'm still here!

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.
Here's the video of it running.

What if instead of going to work, I simply initiated a transformative protocol where I re-center my life around the Three Pillars of: writing, moving iron, and snugging cats (traditional and human-type)?

Release the tapes ;_;
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Vera Drew visited the Criterion Closet a year ago and there’s no video of her talking about the movies she picked?

I've never done karaoke because I'm a disgraceful coward, etc., but in my dreams the perverse rotation would be:
- Rhiannon
- Na Na Na
- Cabaret (wide-eyed heartbreaking Liza version)

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Love to cozily drift off to sleep, only to snap awake an hour later feeling completely wired and alert. A wonderful experience!

Just rereading The Symposium and was reminded of the wonderful fact, which I had forgot, that even the ancient Greeks had drama in their fanfic communities about who would top and who would bottom. All men are brothers, human nature is eternal.

A lot of stories read as if the writer has lost the distinction between subtlety and cowardice and is afraid that writing actual scenes will make them seem artless or ideological. It is okay to believe things and have characters respond to the world in ways other than befogged helpless dissociation.

1. Mushrooms, which I understand is my loss :(
2. Rob Zombie's "El Superbeasto"; I reject the based/cringe binary, but this made me physically cringe, a lot.
3. Not a hot take but "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" is disgraceful. Criminal.

I had my first climate-related nightmare. Someone was just calmly explaining to me how "the autumn that was starting has now been obliterated," that "there was an anomalous wave of heat we didn't see coming and all the leaves instantly died" and they didn't think the trees would come back in spring.

Besides Sleepaway Camp, this begins to articulate my feelings on Silence of the Lambs as well. You can't convince me that's not a movie about the triangulated relationship between a trans woman, a gay man, and a (possibly asexual) lesbian, in which the world outside is of no real consequence.
Yes, Sleepaway Camp is scared of queers but it kinda hates the cishets even more.
'Sleepaway Camp' Was Kinda Heterophobic if You Think About It
Sleepaway Camp depicts heterosexual desire, particularly from men, as being predatory, transactional, cruel, and destructive.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...
