I made this mixtape celebrating my metal🖤🍺🏳️⚧️ roots in Paul St. in Cork, traumatic teen years and someone I trusted implicitly who died early in the Covid era. RIP.
It's mostly #Goth spirit🕯️🌹 but musically #Rock #Metal and @brigidmaepower.bsky.social #SpéirGhorm FU☘️🌈

This was me/my last night, and at 3am ☕🍺☕😴rolling up the main Player Character for my @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social Traveller🚀 solo #TTRPG game.
I finished Act 1 - Scene 1 an hour ago. 8 pages of text. I'll get it uploaded at some point. Might even type it up! It really cleared my head.🫧🧠☔

I began my solo @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social #Traveller 🚀 #TTRPG last night.
Much more enjoyable and relaxing than video games, for me at least. I sat down with pen and paper (wahey! stationery!) and be creative. I used my brain. I got to write.
Thinking of sharing more of this! 🎲 #Sci-Fi #Pens

The real world? Wet and smelly. Cold. No good music. Cars making noise and being a menace.

Looking at Nollaig na mBan posts yesterday, and catching up today across BSky, The 'Gram, Facebook, etc. it's amazing how much of the messages of solidarity, encouragement, and commiserations for how women have been treated apply to me, a trans woman. And I'm still denied recognition🌈🏳️⚧️☘️

These have come in for media attention the past month. Unfit for human habitation due to maintenance. I was in one 2000ish and they were lovely and cosy. You'd be delighted to have a home like that. I assume new builds will go up. #DerelictIreland #SpéirGhorm

I could be carefully planning out scenarios and uploading equipment🛠️ into the VTT but what do I do instead? Write marketing bumpf for a dodgy robot company!

I sent an email to TDs before Christmas about the Disability♿ Payment, vis a vis cost of living/independence🏠
They deserve time off, as does anyone, and their staff who'd be dealing with me. It's not like it's been a quiet Christmas politically. However I would appreciate a response soon-ish-ey.☘️🌈🕯️

For all our Night-Time Economy committees and plans ten years ago people were blazing trails of creating non-alcohol based, late night facilities.🌙

In these times you can look at those focusing on the local, not even politics, ensuring people have a way to pass the time and relax (I wrote about non-booze late night cafés last year,) And dismiss them as frivolous wasters.

When Warhammer 40k was made in the 80s it was supposed to be satire of where we'd end up with Thatcher and Reagan in power forever. Not a prediction.

Being a sensible Irish woman and taking heed of the Met Eireann weather forecasts of an extreme cold spell I have, of course, turned the heating down in every room as, and this is sound logic, "I'll be running the heating more often so need to keep the bill in check." #Smart 📈

Talking video games the other day with people in the @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social Discord, and elsewhere.
I was saying I've pretty much given up video games when I can play #TTRPG with people. Reading Traveller books, and others, planning out my world and interacting with people is much better!✍️

Me every night, as I'm winding down after a tough day: "I'll just go scream at the void, I think."
Everyone: "Surely it's into the void?"
Me: "No, I'm screaming at the void. It needs to grow up and stop being so voidy!"
I am a normal person. And I post on the internet.

I want to get into the self-pub business for my fiction. I'm looking at about €500 to start, before I get into stuff like Print on Demand for selling at LGBTQ+ markets, etc.
It's pretty daunting. Not least navigating of Irish bureaucracy when it comes to tax, welfare, etc.
Worth it, hopefully!🏳️🌈☘️🏳️⚧️🚬
