Update on my impending ferality: My wife has been gone less than 24 hours and in that time I've produced an incredible successful nerdlesque show, managed to medicate Matcha twice in spite of her fervent opposition, slept terribly (post-show excitement), and gone to the farmer's market...

Also, her cookies were amazing.

It turns out I needed another @scarlettohairdye.bsky.social burlesque show! It was so good, and inclusive and nerdy and sexy. As it should be. <3 But now my voice is dead. I need to remember to do vocal warmups before the December 6th show, or I'll finish the year mute.

Opened up my Draft2Digital newsletter today, was scrolling through kinda nodding along, and then!!!! [pointing aggressively at #10] THAT'S ME!!!!

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

These period shits are a curse. I'm already dealing with the rise of fascism, I shouldn't also have to deal with pooping five times in a single morning

Therapy as an American transexual is fun cuz sometimes it's just an hour of a nice lady going "that's rough buddy"

Saw these two absolute king-level bros on our drive home and I had to immortalize them:

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know) Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

Our enemies are cowards and we're going to defeat them.

saw this perfect orb at the fair today

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

we're on the precipice of a universal antiviral medication, mRNA technology is out here curing cancers every other month, HIV is cureable AND preventable, renewables generate more energy now than fossil fuels worldwide and and more cost-effective, coral reefs are growing back all over the world rn

If you're thinking about using AI for a graphic, lemme stop you right there. I don't care what it is: it would be better hand drawn by a child on crumpled up notebook paper and scanned into your pc than to use AI.

This boy naps like he washed up on shore after a shipwreck

Went to a Vietnamese grocery store today so I can knock off the "try a new vegetable" box on my 2025 Resolution Bingo and came home with a sticky white yam and an opo squash, which we should be able to treat basically like a zucchini? Looking forward to both, but! ...

I think at times like this we need to come together and remind each other what’s really important: the new baby fanaloka at the Nashville zoo

I still can't believe I get to announce this, but @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social is joining NERDLESQUE RISES! for a live on-stage interview on Sep 20!!! Come on out for an evening of nerdy burlesque and policy questions about weird, sexy art! #Babes4Katie www.ticketleap.events/tickets/the-...

What an expertly called shot

Call your reps. We know that Dems will throw trans people under the bus even without the govt shutdown on the line. They need to hear from everyone but especially cis folks that this is not acceptable.

Talked to 23 people who suddenly have to pay huge tariffs or otherwise cannot get chainmail from Pakistan, yarn from France, retro computers from Japan, metal music from the Netherlands, DVDs from Germany, cosplay supplies, sunscreen, etc. www.404media.co/its-just-a-m...

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

I have serious concerns about the way business is conducted in the mainstream porn industry, but I am absolutely not willing to align myself with anyone who thinks that means porn should be banned, and especially not with anyone who thinks the end of the internet is a fair price to pay for that

Mx. Pucks A'Plenty is The They Them Yas Queen of Burlesque, The Michelle Obama of Burlesque, and Seattle's Own Mxtress of Thiccness! Our swashes are truly buckled that they're joining NERDLESQUE RISES with a Spanish Jackie number from Our Flag Means Death! www.ticketleap.events/tickets/the-...

this is your annual reminder to please take off your hetero-imitative frogskin and dance to a lesbian/gay spirit

Say it with me: "You can do anything in Seattle" (I fucking love it here)

Matcha kitty I love you but jesus jumping christ on a bicycle could you PLEASE leave me the fuck alone

FYI, fellow Washingtonians! The Department of Health has issued a standing order to let people get Covid vaccines without a doctor's prescription! The order itself functions as a prescription, and if a pharmacy denies you a booster, there's a complaint line to report it! doh.wa.gov/sites/defaul...

Everything is awful, but this quote from Two Towers has been single-handedly keeping me together for years at this point. Every time I want to give up I think about this scene.

I love you West Seattle westseattleblog.com/2025/09/week...

"As far as policy goes, you cannot come up with an idea that would have a more immediate and meaningful impact on the lives of working-class people in this state." southseattleemerald.org/news/2025/09...

"peaceful protests don't do anything" I hear some of you saying. They show the world that the people are not OK with what is happening. Trump does not have some overwhelming mandate And thousands of people are getting used to saying no, loudly, on a Saturday afternoon

Hello from Washington DC, where hundreds of people and what seems like an unreasonable amount of police are assembling for the We Are All DC March This is the first pre-planned, DC-focused protest since the occupation began. Let's see how this goes 🧵

Gotta shout out the good people in the world so it raises the bar for everyone else. Nobody needs to be an asshole. Humans are community creatures who thrive best when working together by choice rather than force.

REMINDER: You can submit a written comment or sign up to provide an oral comment to the CDC's immunization committee that RFK Jr has stacked with antivaxxers. The deadline is Sept 13. Written submission link: www.regulations.gov/document/CDC... Oral sign up link: www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/aci...

I also met (digitally) with WA State Rep. Brianna Thomas today about Visa/MC's porn bans (among other things) and when I told her one of the themed banned on Itch was "nonconsensual transformation," she IMMEDIATELY made a face and went, "So, THE INCREDIBLE HULK?!?! But no one's coming after MARVEL."

ALSO!!! This is super important!!! Senator Alvarado told me she had NO IDEA about the Visa/MC content bans before I started calling her about it. She thanked me for calling every day and told me to keep doing it, and keep her informed about new issues. Call your state reps!!!! It's worth it!!!
