Ok, just watched "Dust Bunny" with Mads Mikkelsen & Sigourney Weaver, because I hadn't heard of it until today. And it was FABULOUS, so imaginative, & now I'm so pissed I didn't hear about it when it was in theaters, because it is JUST the kind of original work I want to support!! GAAH!

Had such a blast at @orcacon.bsky.social today. 🥰 It's such a warm, welcoming space! I met some great people, played some really interesting games, & I don't think I've ever laughed so much on a panel.

It just hit me that it's one week until @orcacon.bsky.social! Can't think of a better way to ease into a new year. I'm utterly stoked to be paneling w/ fellow author @sandrarosner.bsky.social about the Psychology of D&D. Using #TTRPG as a therapy tool is hot these days!

Someone said, "There's no such thing as bas sex or bad pizza." They were, of course, wrong. But there's no such thing as bad eggnog. Store bought or scratch, spiked or kid-friendly, it defines the season for me. So if you're waiting for a sign to drink some, here it is. Go forth: get your 'nog on.

A friend of mine "liberated" this old tree root that had grown into a chain link fence, & I LOVE it! It's like a cross between a wizard staff & an anti-zombie defense!

I get really immersed in movies, I'm easily entertained that way. But no matter how good the film, the moment something crashes into the water - a tower collapses into a moat, the train derails into a river, Godzilla gets nuked at sea - I think: "Some poor fish just got traumatized."

Celebrating the anniversary of Star Trek's first episode, 59 years ago today (TOS, obvi)! Definitely disregarding the fact that it's a work night so I can binge a few episodes. And DEFINITELY thinking of how to celebrate the 60th anniversary next year!

The amount of enraging, heartbreaking, & trauma-triggering BS in the world right now is insane...especially because it is human caused, which means it is also human preventable. And. *You have to take care of yourself.* You DO have power. Breathe. Recharge. Collaborate. Then do what you can.

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

Time has passed, & my World Con adrenaline has faded, allowing the Anxiety Gremlin under my bed to start poking me in the middle of the night. "Hey! Remember that thing you said on that one panel? CRINGE!" But the dopamine has NOT faded, so I just laugh & roll over, relishing good memories.

Someone is very, VERY happy I'm home from the Con. She's holding me hostage with purrs.
