Various mini printing and painting projects
Writing short spec fic stories
It's #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth and I'd just to tell people to stop using brain injuries as a metaphor for evil, incompetence, or another undesirable trait. People with brain injuries spend lots of time and money rebuilding our lives, and we face plenty of medical discrimination.
Questions for NB/trans parents, please boost
SO and I have been discussing kids and I'm having a minor existential crisis over it. I'd like some reassurance/guidance I guess.
Do you worry that how you present/using neopronouns etc will be a cause for your kid to be bullied?
Particularly AMAB NB femmes and visibly trans people, do you worry that stigma around crossdressing is gonna have you labelled as a predator especially when picking your kid up from school unless you are [AGAB] presenting?

Do I agree with everything the Chinese government does? Certainly not. But I'm way more worried about the fact that barely some weeks ago, a homeless native american man died from a heart attack hiding from the police in a chemical toilet right here in Montreal next to a homeless shelter that the government shut down after imposing a curfew. Curfew that also applies to homeless people, who have no where to go. Maybe THAT is more important.

(Redrafting cos I managed to misgender my own character because I'm an idiot with a diabolical mental autocorrect about my own pronouns let alone anyone fictional's)
'Sick wizard cycle' is absolutely not an offficial title for that project btw I'm just tired of saying 'the stories about a wizard who had a stroke and the people xe encounters' each time but I haven't come up with a title.
Working title is 'Rites of the Broken' but I'm not entirely sure about it...
Took a while to get started but once I hit my stride I didn't want to stop, and would have probably hit 3-4000 words had I not had a family games night to attend. As it was I wrote 2200 words of a new story, unrelated to the 'sick wizard cycle'
This one started as a modern homage to the picture of Dorian gray but spiraled into something only tangentially related and is basically me working through all my body image and dysphoria issues. Remains to be seen if it'll be worth making public...
1. Nickname: Not really, I used to be called Lanky at school but I'm too fat for that now!
astrology, covid related
"but hira why do you not like astrology, it never hurts anyone to have fun"
-> "Astrology & Coronavirus Predictions: Where Your Zodiac Can Catch COVID-19"
no, "not all people who have fun with astrology", i know
but i think it is used too much for bullshit and preying on people and bullying people based on their "signs"
Woke up thinking about this collage zine I made a couple years ago and handed out at SPX. You can download it for free here:
Best part was the one surviving guy managed to make off with the tiniest sample of the research we were trying to steal and then conned my teammates into paying for the analysis to reverse-engineer it. So I got paid, laid and made a bunch of extra cred from the research I stole. And I didnt get shot.
I call that a success
