Hey! I'm ash.
I make stuff, & get excited about other stuff.
Currently making ARG-adjacent audio fiction, the graphics & ephemera associated with them, & the occasional fan project, & doing a whole lot of yelling about other people's work.
I'm also the entity behind @lawofnames.com

headache week 4.
Gets better when I'm home at least.
Probably need to do something about the work lights. Boss has offered to get me a lamp. May need to look into this.

Wondered why i’ve been waking up every couple of hours tonight with nightmares. Apparently just forgot to take my nighttime meds. Not great.
Let’s see if we can still get a couple more hours of sleep, unlikely as it is.

I had completely forgotten that Envoy training is basically just the Midas Touch re-sleeved.
I don’t think I’m even aware of how much this book affected my transhumanist paradigm.

I wish that migraines didn't also make me emotionally sensitive. I feel like it should be EITHER physical pain OR emotional. Not both.

I do not understand how someone can write such excellent transhumanist fiction and be weird about queer people, among other things.

I’ve finally gotten around to watching all of Altered Carbon. I’d held off both because Woken Furies had such a profound effect on my work, & because the writer is a dickbag.
But now that I’ve jumped in, I am quite enjoying it. Plus it’s really feeding writing Dakota Gold.

Ended up getting about 200 words written before i came home from work which is almost nothing. But NOT nothing, so that’s nice.

But. Tomorrow I need to prioritize finishing DG2E4. I won't finish it tomorrow, but I can get close, if I stick to it.

I ran out of brain too early today. I got stuff done, but not near as much as I was hoping to.
Still struggling to buckle down to /start/ work. Once I get started I can generally stick to it long enough to hit a goal, but it's the starting that's rough.
To be fair, it's cold & dark again.

Brain’s mad again. Putting it to bed before it gets in too much trouble.
(Today was a good day, got stuff done, did something nice, prepped Swedish meatballs for tomorrow. Brain’s just tired and taking it out on us.)

I told someone my legal middle name (which is also my original birth surname) and they thought I was messing with them. It was kind of gratifying.
(It's not like, a secret, the name's on all my fancy or legal stuff, but the reaction amused me nonetheless.)

@ogre.red thinks terms if service are bullshit and licensing for poetry is unimportant because "who would steal a poem"
my advice would be to avoid doing business with this person

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

This will pass. It’s been a long day that includes a really frustrating 2 hours at the DMV. But it’s really rough when you got brought up with the answer to basically everything being “work harder,” but it turned out that working harder just makes you more tired.

And the literal only reason we’re not either completely underwater financially, or still hanging on by our fingernails is that my dad fucking died.
No matter how hard i follow the rules & fulfill my end of the bargain, I’m still always playing catch-up.

Sitting here living with the fear I won’t have a job soon because the government implodes or ends social support programs, owe something like $5k in taxes on money we never actually had, ground beef costs more than nice steak used to, & cut regulations means food spoils instantly.

Feeling pretty defeated today.
Grew up getting told that if I did things the right way, worked hard, & followed the rules, I probably wouldn’t be rich, but at least I’d be comfortable, and mostly happy.
But right now, it feels like following the rules actually makes things worse.
