Sometimes I get sad, and then remind myself that we live in a time that "Sapphic Science Fiction" is a real genre, and I don't feel so sad anymore.

I got a walk in today at the South Puget Sound Wildlife Area in Lakewood before the rain rolled in. The tree is an old Garry oak. #pnw #wawx

Visited the Travilah White Oak yesterday.

What a beast.

2 eggies fertilized a little late, and one ran out of gas.

We are looking SOLID for our day three fertility update.

13 eggs -> 12 mature -> 9 fertilized

Fair warning:

If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow.

My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.

We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

I am extraordinarily more angry these days than I used to be

And not in a good way

Knowing things really aren't going to get easier ir better and I'll just live in pain and then die builds resentment in a big way

Oh well

Pinpointed two excellent looking independent bookstores nearish me, and I'm off to a good start of doing my bookbuying a little more thoughtful this year.

People love to talk about what a disappointment Star Trek voyager was for its lack of serialized storytelling, as if Picard didn’t live an entire separate life in one episode only to never mention it again.

I think having my egg retrieval today was a great way to close out the year.

My butch cooter flying in the wind, gay nurse anesthetist BSing with me about whether or not Janeway was right in murdering Tuvix, then falling asleep to the *good drugs*

And getting bagel sandwiches afterwards

In 2006, I got fed up with my extended family asking about my dating life.

So I did what anyone in 2006 would do, I created a fake FB profile, pulled some stock photos, and made my own bf

Jim and I had a meaningful courtship for 2 years

He's still on FB, and I get reminded of his bday every year.

2025 feels like barely beating a end-of-level boss, and then rolling right over to the next level where all the monsters have leveled up

no regen, no health potions, no stat improvement.

Just "Here, do it again, it's harder this time though because you're exhausted and don't want to play anymore."

The entire thesis here is "hey, do you realize how many people could choose to not use labor from human beings if they instead used the extruded meat product trained on labor from those same human beings?"

Oh. OH YES. THIS IS HAPPENING

My WIP is a sapphic biopunk adventure, and The THREAD is the implant tech that does the most thematic work

The Thread It is a subdermal implant that acts as an IFF (Identify Friend/Foe) between huntresses. In most cases they use it to communicate presence and intent.

I failed spectacularly at getting my workshop into usable condition this year,

But I did finally fix up the workshop chair I'd been meaning to re-upholster.

(Still finding uses for old uniforms...)

I think my new writing window will be 9-10:30pm

Over the last 3 months I've statistically written much more than that, (my guerrilla writing tactics have been unexpectedly successful)

But as I go into the new year, maybe my editing could benefit from a bit of structure.

My family may not care about my actual writing, but at least they acknowledge that I'm writing.

For someone who neither enjoys people nor food, like me, the holidays are a special hell.

Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is the complete and utter collapse of the entire AI industry, to include the fortunes of those involved in it

Please and thank you

Because I’d like there to be some semblance of a world left for my niece and nephews in

I honestly don't know how Steven King wrote anything while intoxicated. All I want to do is take a nap, and I'm one cocktail in.

Have you seen what she wears??

Forget about it.

Have you ever been with a warrior woman??

With the last installment of Stranger Things almost upon us, I'd like to give a shout-out to Barb.

May you rest in peace.

The producers did you dirty. Of all the people that died in season one and came back, you deserved it the most.
