Here's the deal. Trying to focus on being less terminally online and getting more work done. I'm not *leaving,* it's just this is why I don't post as much as I did before.

I've got 3 different books (monograph, bio, novel) in the works. those words don't write themselves!)

With the mission over and the mechs back in the hangar, the dolls had gone off for their debrief and the filing of after-action reports to their Handler. But once the paperwork was done, they all reunited in the hab, sisters by oath under Mommy Actual's care.

Little surpassed their esprit-de-corps.

All that talk of "no mind" in swordfighting texts from the early Edo period just underline my feelings, as a tachi-class combat doll, that for me, bimbofication is part of the deal 😘

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

Daily bunny no.3106 doesn't like the dark
A bunny descends into a dark basement with a flashlight, hoping to fix a fusebox or breaker box. It is a rainy evening, and presumably the power has gone out. A bat hanging from a pipe greets the bunny.

Thanks, Casey-- it's a strange irony that I know exactly where I'd belong, and I've tried to build a career and life that would take me back there for 20 years now, and it still hasn't managed to happen. But I'm not about to give up!

Did you know Wolverines love belly rubs?

... I mean of course we do, who doesn't? We're angry death weasel trickster gods, not monsters.

I get asked this a lot, so let me again answer for the record: if you say you're a combat doll then you are a combat doll. Simple as.
