This Saturday! We're doing another TRANS NERD MEET UP at Zeitgeist (Valencia & Duboce, SF). 12:30 PM until whenever. If you are not cis and enjoy geeking out about anything at all (games, stamps, history, tech, comics, gender studies, iguanas, hip hop, knitting, whatever) you are welcome. <3

I spent my New Year's Eve making a very weird Enterprise

Good morning. This is a picture of a demon. My ex and I found this drawing in an otherwise empty attic of a house we were considering purchasing. It demanded to come home with us. Now it wants me to share it with you. Happy 2026!

Work denied my request for disability accommodations. Can't submit complaint to EEOC as they have less than 15 employees. Thinking bad thoughts today.

@vagabonderro.bsky.social a little birdie told me it was your birthday soon. Many happy returns of the day whenever that day might be! 🖤

My brother got me the Lego set I coveted as a child for Christmas, and folks, it's just as marvelous at 39 (+/- 3 days) as it seemed at 5.

Eating a fabulous Lebanese meal in New Orleans, some of the diners are in hijabs, some are in leopard print booty shorts, and this is what this wretched country could be. This is the only way this wretched country will survive.

Merry Christmas to all those celebrating. Happy Thursday to all those who are not. And I hope this day passes bearably and swiftly for anyone struggling today. Dragon with Christmas Gift, Edward Gorey.

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

Christmas is hard for many. The years roll, the ghosts at the table increase. We’re haunted by the absence of voices, of laughter engines who drank and ate with us. This can be day of remembrance rituals. For what it’s worth, Hooklanders near and far are in my candles today. Be gentle on yourselves.

For about 10 years, when our kids were young, I would do a quick sketch of our house on Christmas Eve after everything would quiet down. This is from 2016...gouache over acrylic, I think. Merry and Happy! #art #landscape #pleinair #sketch #happyholidays

"Rather get paid to kick a man in the balls, receive a foot massage, or get eaten out?" His message read. Actually, buddy, I'd like to be paid for all the unpaid labor I've done for the 'priviliage' of being loved. Or my art. I'd like to be paid for my art.

I am going to need something nice to happen soon or I'm going to lose it.

I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

I've always wanted to get a picture of the sun setting directly above a sanderling I could never land it It's a complex shot since the sun sets above the ocean and the birds are BELOW the crashing waves Even if you get it, you need to get multiple shots for depth of field I came close tonight🪶 🧵

disgusting world. I'll laugh as I see you falling, in this eternal confrontation.

Something I learnt doing the flora survey was that every plant here seems to have a secret twin, sessile oak, midland hawthorn, wych elm, downy birch, annual nettle, smooth sow thistle, red goosefoot, field rose, imperforate st john’s wort, large bindweed, bulbous buttercup, sour cherry

Anyway yeah I think it's really neat and you'd have fun trying it. You can check out the rules here! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A few days ago I asked for a workplace accomodation my ADHD and PTSD. Yesterday I was corned by the president (physically and metaphorically) and the interaction went about as bad as it could have gone. I may not have a job on Monday.

Oh no. Playing scrabble with my parents. Mom got a call from someone and went in the other room. I had a v and an o that I thought could go on an r and an e but I wasnt sure if it was in the dictionary.

Heaven for me would be just an explanation for it all and a choice about how/when I come to life again.

Me: "I could not feel more isolated, lonely, and depressed..." 6 inches of snow: "I love a challenge!"

My most fundamental belief is that we do not have to live like this.
