I like that sometimes cats are feral gremlins and sometimes they are liquid and sometimes they are fine fellows looking very dapper and sometimes they are loafs of bread, always seamlessly transitioning from one to the next.

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks:
this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important!
You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

Transmasc authors I've really enjoyed lately are Isaac Fellman, Ian Haramaki, Nino Cipri, and Kit Mayquist. Oh, and me. I enjoy myself lol.
Not to be vulnerable at like 4am, but dude, I'm so fucking tired. I'm so tired of seeing some of the best transmasc lit I've ever read get completely ignored while people recommend works by cis authors where there is one transmasc in the margins--

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

Okie I think if we can get some traction today or tomorrow I will be able to get long term housing by Tuesday. I'm so reticent to ask her more help, there are so many people hurting right now. Even just boosting would make all the difference in the world 🖤🖤
Hi y'all I very prematurely closed my old gfm and I've started a new one. Things are quite dire and it's looking like I'm going to need to hire a lawyer which I can't afford. Your help would mean the world to me truly.

Traveling through the forest at night is a treacherous undertaking - One made all the more difficult when performed without the benefit of navigational aids beneath a starless sky as the moon renews.

Alice was a friend, a mentor, and a guide to so many in the disability community, and especially in the realms of disability and technology and disabled-led design.
This one hurts bad, but some of her last words were "Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."
Gonna try to hold that.

It's been going well, but I'm beginning to sense that I'm focusing too much on the writing and not enough on talking about the writing.
SO I think it may be wise to try to put what energy that I do have toward that for a bit. Community is massively important to me.

Such an idea is beyond flattering and I would be happy to invite others to play in the worlds I've created, so long as they do so in their own words.
It's an honor when someone takes interest in what I've written or created. There's still a part of me that finds it mind-boggling.
