Tech director at today's gig called the scalloped back walls "set sharks". Clearly he wins everything for the day.

Also, I am apparently one of the sound designer's favorites, as they emitted a literal involuntary "eeeep" upon seeing me, then tacklehugged me.

Some days I fucking love my job.
Photo of a theater set build in progress showing a kitchen table with chairs beside a love seat on the stage floor, with multiple platforms of varying heights behind them. In the center of the image is a curved wall, rising out of the platform in the shape of a shark fin, curved toward the right. There is a white cyc visible in the far background.

He can come over here next.

(See also: my collection of Trek 70s fanzine reprints- most (if not all) of the fanfiction -was (is still) written by women.)

(Also, also: some of the greatest novels in the official Trek cannon are by women.) (Looking at you, Diane Duane.)

GTFO with that SFbro-shit.
Meme Aug a line drawing of a man in a suit with one hand tucked into his jacket lapel and the other pointing away from himself. The text reads 'You there: Fuck off. And when you get there, fuck off from there too. Then fuck off some more. Keep fucking off until you get back here. Then fuck off again.'

Find joy today - all moments of joy, no matter how small, are acts of resistance.
Photo of a nighttime campfire with a ring of rocks surrounding it and several logs fully or partially on fire with yellow and orange flames, which provide the only light source. Taken during a family camping trip this summer, because it reminds me of the joy of sitting with loved ones in the woods with a crackling fire, s'mores, and laughter.

Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie posing in front of a red background in red platform shoes with black soles and a structured black dress covered in silver geometric lines like record grooves. Photo of David Bowie from his 'The Man Who Sold The World' album cover photo shoot (same outfit/ setting, different pose). He is reclined on a velvet-coveredchaise with one elbow propped on the back and the other resting on his thigh. His dark blond, curly hair is shoulder length with a side part. He is wearing a pink frock with purple flowers and lace frog closures that gap to show his bare chest and dark Brian leather knee boots, and is holding a long of diamonds playing card while looking directly at the camera. Black and white photo of David Bowie and Iman. David's hair is close cropped and he has a goatee and glasses, a dark, collared shirt, and dark backpack. He is standing in profile to the camera, holding an umbrella over them both, and the impression is of him on tiptoe, stretching up to reach as he places a kiss on Iman's forehead. Iman has a white bathrobe with a dark monogram on the breast pocket draped loosely over her shoulders. Her hair is a curly bob with side bangs. She is standing in profile to the camera facing David, her left hand (with wedding band visible) resting on his upper chest. Her head is bowed slightly and her eyes are closed.

This won't mean much to anyone not from eastern MA, but man, fuck Thomas Koch, his bigotry, and his half-assed (non)apology.

Also, fuck anyone who still wants to equate homosexuality with pedophilia.
Meme with a line drawing of a man wearing a suit, collared shirt, and tie, with one arm pointing across the frame, on a green background. The text reads: You there: Fuck off. And when you get there, fuck off from there too. Then fuck off some more. Keep fucking off until you get back here. Then fuck off again.

Happy #BiVisibilityDay! I've been bi/pan/omni as long as I can remember, and it's never felt more dangerous to be visible. But in spite of, and because of, we're still here. Don't let anyone make you disappear. ❤️❤️❤️ 🩷💜💙
Art by Little Truths Studios of a large rainbow with a sun and clouds over two pine trees on either side of the image growing out of tufts of grass. A group of small human figures are between the two trees - someone on a bicycle, someone walking a dog, someone looking up and pointing at the rainbow, an adult and small waving child. There is handwritten text enclosed between the rainbow, trees, and people that says 'You can pass laws, ban books, tell us we don't exist but we're still here drinking our coffee, singing in the shower, walking our dogs, loving each other'. All text is black and the same size except 'we're still here' is in red and much larger than the rest.

So many big terrible things are happening out there right now. I'm trying to save what little mental health I have remaining by sending some light out into the universe.

So tonight, if you're of a romantic nature, I wish you love like @aliceoseman.bsky.social created with the sweetest of cartoons.
A frame of the webtoon Heartstopper by Alice Oseman, featuring Nick - a tall blond rugby lad - and Charlie - a shorter, dark haired self-proclaimed need- sharing their second kiss. Nick wears trainers, joggers, and a long sleeve tee. He is holding Charlie's face in both hands. Charlie wears a tee shirt, gym shorts, and socks. His hands are around Nick's torso. There are sparkles drawn all around them, and a single small heart just above their heads.

I just removed 3 pairs of glasses from the top of my head and I'm sat here wondering when exactly I became my grandfather.

I may or may not have one pair still on my head. *sigh*
Three pairs of reading glasses of varying strengths lay in a row on a brown leather surface. One pair is black and Grey, one is black and silver, and one is wire rimmed.

Hard same.
A 3 panel comic strip by @emilyscartoons. Alt text grabbed from @pixelfish. Panel one: two people sitting side by side. One says to the other: Let’s not talk about politics anymore, I can’t bear it Person two says: same Panel two: they sit silently for a while. Panel Three: frustrated one of the figures says, “The thing is though…” and person two chimes in with, “Those fucking idiots!” (Editorial note from @pixelfish, seconded by me: idiot was the original choice in the comic - it’s an ableist term I personally don’t use but many folks still do.)

Just finished An Intrigue of Witches (good plot, mainly BIPOC characters, start of a new series) and started Assistant to the Villain (so far, so good - only a couple chapters in)
Cover of the book An Intrigue of Witches by Esme Addison features a large ornate old fashioned gold key as the main subject with the title and author name also in gold lettering. The rest of the cover is shades of blue - a marbled blue background with silhouettes of feathers, lotus blossoms, and the Pleiades star cluster in lighter blue, with an intricate white border like an old fashioned hardcover book. The cover of Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer features the title in large bold white lettering with images of various bladed weapons along the top of the lettering, as well as along the middle of the title on both sides. Along the bottom are figured including a raven, a helmet from a suit of armor with arrows protruding from it at various lethal angles, a glowing jar, books, and a diagram with three lethal targets on the human body marked.

If anyone is wondering, this is how I die.
Photo of a calico cat with green eyes, white face and collar and mixed tortie coloring starting directly at the camera from above. The camera is clearly pointed upward as the ceiling is visible in the background. I imagine this is similar to the last thing a gazelle sees when a lioness drops from a tree onto their back.

A 4-panel comic depicting two humans in the foreground, on the left a human with light skin wearing a red shirt with a white W on it, on the right a human with brown skin, glasses, and curly hair wearing a grey Oxford shirt with a red tie. There is a human in the far right background with light skin and red hair, wearing a tshirt and pants and holding a book. Panel 1: the left human says "Man, I loved "The Rise Of Skywalker"!, while the background figure has "surprise" lines drawn around their head. Panel 2: the right figure says "Really? Wow. I didn't care for it at all." with the background figure looking over. Panel 3 shows the two main figures looking at each other, while the background figure is no longer is looking at the two main figures with interest. Panel 4: the left human says "I can see how one might not, and I respect your opinion." the right human says "And I am glad you found joy in it." the background figure shouts "That's not how it works!" in all caps.

gawrsh! Thanks, friend! It's been a minute, but I'm finally jumping off the ex-bird app. Good to find you!
Drawing by Dureseye of Disney's Goofy, wearing an orange turtleneck, grey vest, and green hat with black band, looking shyly at the viewer in profile with one hand on his far cheek and the other extended toward the viewer with palm turned down as though he is saying "awh, shucks" or perhaps more appropriately, "gawrsh!"
