I recently overhauled my website, since my former hosting company (overall great and very inexpensive) wasn't keeping up with the technology I needed to keep my old Wordpress site updated.

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, although I plan to add to it over time. www.kaseymackenzie.com

I've got a new blog post up on my website, talking about the challenges of unmaking autism and ADHD later in life as a creative person.

What's something you've learned about yourself later in life or, if you're still pretty young, the most surprising thing you've learned about yourself so far?
Never Too Late to Learn Something New (Even About Yourself)!
Something I've been dealing with lately is how difficult it can be to unmask both ADHD and autism later in life. Like...trying to heal oblivious damage dealers who won't move out of the evil puddles o...

Continuing my efforts to get back into the swing of things, I posted a life, health, and publishing update on my Youtube channel, Rambling Prose, and I also unboxed some awesome-looking Story Engine prompt cards for storytellers and roleplay gamemasters. youtu.be/b_r2Q4SF3gE

Still alive and kicking, though I've been mostly preoccupied with physically recovering from this second broken ankle and emotionally processing unmasking as a very late-in-life diagnosed AuDHD woman.

Feeling MUCH better and I've moved back upstairs now I can walk and do stairs mostly unaided.

One has to love the sheer poetic justice of this. Such a great karmic gift for Black History Month, too.
Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Me: Starts to talk about something important to me on a vital topic in a Bluesky thread but then remember it's under an extremely famous person's profile and that I do NOT have the spoons to risk going viral right now thanks to recovering from this ankle fracture so deletes it.

Why are so many journalists On Here and There inviting govt whistleblowers to reach out via insecure (work email and Bluesky DMs, among other things) means?

A Black woman named Aliyah was struggling to find work. So, she catfished herself and made a fake profile on LinkedIn named "Emily." Emily had the same qualifications as Aliyah but received 57.9% of interview invites while Aliyah received 8.9%

This is what we mean when we say racism is systemic.
