I'm off work and my brain is scrampled egg right now so can't get stuck into writing... So I have been doing a bit of art. It's messy and it's shiny and it's keeping me sane. Ish. Anyway here is my space octopus.

You work in a medical setting and you don’t speak to the disabled people for whatever reason, as if they are whole people- those people know it - their caregivers know it. we also acknowledge when you do speak directly to them as if they are whole people, and thank you

Konnichiwa! I got my flu & Covid shots, then in the parking lot a dude asked me if I knew anyone who'd buy his dead father's hearing aids. I suggested the local radio station's call in trading show Tradio. (Maybe I should call in about my books!) 😂

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Disturbing to hear the scientist has rejected all criticism of genetically engineering ducks to have twice as thick layers of under-feathers. They doubled down.
