Lots of new friends today, so I guess I'll reintroduce myself. I'm just a weird lil guy from the American South. I write queer fiction & play video games. I dabble in cosplay, and advocate for disability awareness wherever I can. 🦾 My cat Toast is the love of my life. See ya around, butterflies! 🦋🌈

I have accomplished nothing I planned to accomplish today but finally, after finding out at the last minute that no one at home has any plans for Christmas dinner, that is at least sorted. 😅

Today is the winter solstice. It also marks five years without my dad. My grief has been an odd and slowly emerging thing, in many ways, taking a while to fully settle in. I think losing someone at the height of COVID, before there were any vaccines even...

I have a new hobby. Been making rosettes for a couple of months and I really need to stock up on findings and trims because I think I might be hooked and I want to make increasingly more elaborate designs.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

Been struggling really hard with creative motivation lately, but I had a really great conversation with a fellow writer friend last night and that always builds me up again. I'll keep doing my best. <3

I'm so tired of having this fight every 2-5 years. And if you think it somehow doesn't affect you, you're wrong.
“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic
they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned
they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned
You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

Well, shit. Guess I won't be renewing my AllTrails account this year...
By absolutely no means use this app anymore. If you're in Washington, the WTA Trailblazer app is high quality. And my publisher, Mountaineers Books, has dozens of fantastic hiking trails books.
Never, ever trust AI shit like this, ESPECIALLY when it comes to PNW hiking trails.
Never, ever trust AI shit like this, ESPECIALLY when it comes to PNW hiking trails.
"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.'
But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

Oh no, this is really sad to hear. My copy of Decolonizing the Mind will remain in my home library forever. This book changed how I think about language. May his legacy never be forgotten.
