Holy crap, folks. Okay, so first, because it’s most MOST important and this blog is for me to remember dates and times things happened* as much as it is to share with others, this past weekend there were nationwide protests about police brutality, systemic racism and government-sanctioned murder. It’s amazing to watch these protests unfold,Continue reading “Day 80, with Nebulas, Protests and Curfews”

Day 67, with Last Normal…
A meme is going around on the socials, asking folks what their last Normal Photo is in their camera roll. :side eyes: Um, apparently I am Not That Interested in normal? 99% of my phone photos for 2020 are in the apartment, of animals and plants. 90% of the ActualCameraTM photos are of animals andContinue reading “Day 67, with Last Normal…”
Day 41, with 50 yrs of Earth Day
It’s weird that I can’t go out and enjoy the burgeoning spring on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, but I get that the weirdness is also poignant and poetic. I’m not the best steward and I should learn more skills in that area, and figure out how best to protest misuse given my physicalContinue reading “Day 41, with 50 yrs of Earth Day”
Day 34, with Exhaustion
Yesterday morning my voice was ragged and low, what Jon calls my Kathleen Turner Overdrive voice. I sounded like a massive cold was in my throat and lungs, snot not there yet but oh-yeah incoming. And I was TIRED. Really darkdeep tired. I was seriously debating calling in a sick day. But people need, andContinue reading “Day 34, with Exhaustion”
Day 24, with Inspirations
CW: Coping or lack thereof, discussion of a death unrelated to COVID-19 It’s funny how many tiny inspirations a person can pull from their immediate surroundings when trying to cope with a mass trauma event. I’ve been through more than one, and normally I get my coping juice from being outside or with blooming thigs.Continue reading “Day 24, with Inspirations”
“A Real Catastrophe”
Lin-Manuel Miranda was right. 44.5 IS going straight to hell. He’s the real catastrophe. Between that awful, evil statement about Puerto Rico today and this article on Vox, I might explode from rage. And I don’t even have any relatives there – just an ex-coworker from there. I can’t imagine what folks who have family/friendsContinue reading ““A Real Catastrophe””
Transgender Day of Visibility
Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, and there’s something I’d like to do that cis folk don’t often do. I’d like to let people know about my pronouns. I prefer they/their as pronouns but I don’t mind she/her at ALL *. I’ve seen a couple of comments going around saying “if you’re not sure aboutContinue reading “Transgender Day of Visibility”
We Take Care of Our People
Excuse me while I indulge in some comic book geekery. I have to admit, I was never a Captain America fan. I came to comics when comics came to TV, where Wonder Woman, Hulk, and Spider-Man were visible and adored. The late-70s movies for Captain America weren’t interesting and didn’t tap into the 1940s FDR-lovingContinue reading “We Take Care of Our People”
