Today has felt like three workdays in one and I am so hella exhausted, and that's before I got caught up on the news.

My newest desk shark - technically a Hork.

Finished up Witch King by Martha Wells last night - enjoyed it a lot! The blending of past and present scenes was paced really well. Looking forward to starting Queen Demon next!

Decided to give a reading goal a try for 2026. I'm going for at least 50. Does anyone have any book recommendations? Books that I've really enjoyed in the past few years include The Locked Tomb, Saint Death's Daughter, Metal from Heaven, the Murderbot books, Iron Widow, & The Traitor Baru Cormorant.

I have so many GWitch gunpla to work on, and it's both awesome but also vaguely intimidating.

Christmas didn't really go as expected but at least my potatoes were fantastic.

My potatoes are a thing of beauty. Garlic, thyme, sage, cheddar gruyere, and they're doable in an instant pot.

Merry Christmas! My Hypermall Unlimited Violence contract, OMEGA KILLSAINT, is complete! You CAN purchase it! It IS playable! vexwerewolf.itch.io/omega-killsa...

Nothing is as clingy as a web browser that just can't comprehend why it isn't your default browser.

There's really nothing that sets me off at work more than someone that isn't on my team trying to sell things to our customers for my team to do. It goes badly for our team every single time.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The cats were adorable.

Quite excited about our small company holiday event today which includes a team trip to a cat cafe.

Feeling excited having had some more time to flesh out my new character. I haven't gotten to be a player in a minute and I'm really looking forward to it.

I wish I could do voices better so I could do better RP/as a DM, but that probably means actually practicing at that and then also having to deal with hating my own voice, which does seem like a lot.

My kingdom for good art of a big beefy frost giant Goliath barbarian ~lady that isn't leaning 100% into "all furs, all the time" as an aesthetic, and also isn't super skinny/lithe.

AI slop has completely ruined the ability to find art for a D&D character.

I wonder if it means anything that the majority of the media I've engaged with over the past year or two is not just queer but specifically lesbian and/or trans focused.

Yes, let me get even more sweaty before I have to go sit next to strangers in a metal sky tube for hours. Great idea, truly.

Oh, gender.

As it turns out, spending a lot of your time on Spotify trying to find Lancer campaign music means that your Wrapped is turbofucked.

Cat ownership really does something to your brain. I have been telling Lady (full name: Lady Marchioness Crunchwrap Supreme) while she's shouting at me that she's being "grumby", a dumb sort of portmanteau of "grumpy" and "grumbly".

I was selected to be a judge for an AI competition this week and I am extremely amused by this.

Oh no 20th anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out comes out next month. Oh no.

Apple pie had serious structural issues but at least it still tastes good. My fancy mashed potatoes were amazing as always though.

Kind of wishing I hadn't decided to limit myself to pie for Thanksgiving, I really want to make a roulade.

Pretty sure I put too many apples in my pie but it's too late to fix it now!

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

The Saint Death series is fantastic. It's really hard for me to summarize but I highly recommend looking into it!

Witch From Mercury is so damn good. I wish it was more directly and boldly queer but I can say that about basically everything really.

Finished up watching DS9 for the first time the other day and pretty much immediately wanted to go back and rewatch parts. I also watched Voyager for the first time a few months ago and they are really very different series. I'm pretty happy that I didn't watch DS9 first.

Chewy sent me a vase of flowers after I marked one of our cats as no longer with us (Piper, who we lost back in July). Honestly was shocked by it. They send little cards all the time, but this was a vase of cat safe flowers from a local florist.

*stares off into the distance*

I can’t believe my eyes “shame on them” WHAT

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Ugh, snow. It is too early for snow.

Spirit Island is such a good board game. It's solidly my "stranded on a desert island" pick.

The company that's pushing this technology should not only be regulated, it should be shut down, & everyone who worked to develop & promote this program should be held accountable in a court of law. Sam Altman belongs under the jail.

Started using this knot on the day this was posted and it’s genuinely changed my life

philanthropy is the insurance rich people pay to the public to not be fed to a guillotine maybe its not a good time to skimp on guillotine insurance

the supreme court probably wants to overturn my marriage but sure, i can get you those slides today they won’t let me renew my passport anymore but sure, i can review your ai slop code sixth circuit says misgendering trannies is cool but sure, i can be on call during thanksgiving

I'm really big on the "I researched your problem" thing, and really bad at knowing when folks just want to vent.

A Muslim man is Mayor of New York City. Incredible. Can’t imagine what Muslims who experienced post-9/11 America are feeling right now.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.
