ANDY’S COMING!

This whole “here I am in my antifa uniform” (while dressed in a US military uniform) is a little tone deaf, honestly. Most people join bc of what it can do to advance their own life, and the rest of us joined to support US hegemony. It’s not like we were fighting Nazis in the GWOT.

First (half) day of furlough was actually pretty great. After som came home from school, we went to the local comic shop and the boba place. Talked about his high school & college plans (omg, he’s only 13, where did the time go?). Played video games at home together and laughed a lot.

Holy shit I didn’t even realize it was Trucktober yet. Season’s greetings!

I've read a couple of history books and I can tell you for sure that rounding up your generals, having a drunk yell at them and call them fat, and then stopping paying them that same day is absolutely how you institute durable personalist rule

I’m lifting weights. I’m eating well. I’m getting decent sleep. I’m going to the range with my rifle and pistols, staying sharp. I’m shopping for cute dresses. I’m shaving my legs and growing perky boobs.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

One of the scariest things is watching ambivalent or intimidated people “just following the crowd” when they don’t HAVE to - non-federal flags at half-mast, moments of silence, firing/disciplining ppl who don’t follow the crowd, etc. Enablers, all of them.

Time to grow this ass

On a lighter note, I brought some books from home to my office so I can share with coworkers and clients. I’ll bring more soon. @travisbaldree.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @scalzi.com @aptshadow.bsky.social @marthawells.com

@sarajacobs.house.gov I’ve had no success emailing you from your website. I’ve tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and this happens every time. Is there a good fix for this?

Go fuck yourself, Gavin

Flags are to be flown at half-mast??? For Charlie Fucking Kirk???

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

~thoughts and prayers~

holy shit dawg what the fuck is this security? POTUS, VEEP, SECSTATE, and SECDEF in a barely secured public space?

They said I couldn’t have “any pronouns” in my work email signature, so I changed my profile picture to this and get “ma’am” about 90% of the time. Fine by me but I think they outfoxed themselves!

My trans ass bought a rifle the same day my free, federally-prescribed transgender hormone therapy arrived in the mail. Oh, the irony. Arm the dolls!

I am conducting hiring interviews this morning and wanted to present my best self to the applicants

Someone doused me in an aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burnt. I’m not “mad,” I’m incensed!

It would be a real shame if the contact email for federal civilian DOD employees wanting to volunteer to support ICE got flooded with spam 👀 [email protected] usajobs.gov/job/842956200

Today’s casual fit

My 13-year-old son is on a cologne kick and I can’t convince him that less is more

I cleaned up okay today #sunsoutgunsout #ThighThursday?

Hanmoon or something

Finished #AutomaticNoodle by @annaleen.bsky.social. What a fun ride. If you’ve read any of their other work, or are looking for a cozy short read about communities (& noodles!), give it a read. Available at @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social, your local indie book store, or I’ll share my copy with you!

It only gets better with the word balloon.

I get my HRT from Dr. Trans

Holy crap -- Automatic Noodle is an instant USA Today and Indie bestseller! Thank you so much, humans and robots, for reading this li'l book and making it soar. Now go eat something! Or get your noodle swag at automaticnoodle.website

I made a handy illustrated diagram to figure out what's going on on social media at any given time

The best part of novels about terraforming? The world-building.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

If someone in your work meeting has this notebook, maybe be a little kinder to them bc they might be close to snapping and taking you with them

Yessss @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social

She’s largely thigh, folks

"haha, don't open that door, you'll let the cold in" "Umm, actually, cold doesn't exist, I'd be letting the heat out," I say smugly before hitting the button, jettisoning myself and everyone else on the station into space

See a flex, post a flex

I’m not saying that That Day will solve all my problems, but I will certainly feel really good on That Day

Today a librarian at work told me that an adult patron nicely asked for help explaining to her daughter why “that man [me] is wearing a dress.” Evidently patron had explained that ppl can wear what they like and everyone makes their own choices. 1/

@annaleen.bsky.social I had forgotten that the dog’s name is “Argument” 😂

@laurensanchez.bsky.social lol look at the lineup the NWSL app had

ICYMI I’m writing a book! It includes: - High flying space dogfights - A hardened middle-aged bounty hunter MC running from her past - The Magically Gifted Princess she has to protect - Several of her exes, including a former rival that she keeps having heated encounters with - SPACE PEW PEWS!

If you enjoy what I do, consider supporting me on Ko-fi! Every little bit means the world! ko-fi.com/ohcatrina

Witnesses said they never sausage a mess before

You can read Catrina’s original story on her Ko-Fi! The prologue is ~LIVE~ now, and it’s well worth your time and Republic credits!

He's charged

Comparison is absolutely the thief of joy, and it’s been stealing from me allllll week
