Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Ravenglass, Muncaster and Mary
Tomorrow we’re planning a longer walk, so today we planned a more relaxed day of not walking. Which meant that we didn’t walk as much, and also didn’t wear appropriate shoes for walking. Which may have been an error. At any rate we went to check out Ravenglass, where there stands the highest Roman wall…

Holi-holi-day
So, despite my best efforts – well, perhaps my it turns out inadequate efforts to bring a keyboard to spur me into writing, it turns out my grotty cheap Bluetooth keyboard is dead or faulty. Its always been a bit odd, but connecting it today on day 7, I think, of our holiday – the…

Wow, that was a ride
So I decided that it would be nice to check the chickens aren’t hanging out on the ladder, stuck, if the automatic door closes early, which has happened before. I’d like a second camera that shows a more wideangle view, and frankly, a third camera that is inside the coop. All of which are possible…

Eeeking it closer
I’m not going to talk about the US’s hideous slide into fascism because – what am I going to say? I’ve been harping on about it – as have most queer folks for ages and lo, SCOTUS decides to rip up precedent and rewrite the laws for a oligarchic theocracy. Quelle surprise. We knew the…

Who’s got two thumbs and (more or less) fixed her double sided record deck?
The B-side record scanning is still… unreliable. It sometimes seem to add its own vibrato to records just for shits and giggles*, but it’s playing records again – which it wasn’t capable of at all when it arrived. I’m not really sure how it’d been so abused, I mean, I get how the belt turned…

It’s possible I finished a project.
I know, it’s a rarity. And is anything ever really finished? I mean… time breaks all things, so there’s always and eventually going to be a repair. But in this case – the project in question is my Sharp RP-119 that has sat mouldering in our garage for a while. I picked it up as…

Breaking Cover
Well, it’s been a bit hasn’t it oh internet peeps. Not that I’ve been not on the internet, I’ve just been tired. So very fucking tired. I am heartily sick of being demonized for existing. I’m tired of not talking about it at work, at least most of the time. But then I’m out-but-not and…

Being Away on Lopez
Day 1 (not counting driving up here) It’s been a really lovely day. The sun’s shone, the light has been really stunning. It’s been a really wonderful introduction to Lopez Island. The pandemic has made holidays a bit fraught, the concept of going somewhere – anywhere – away from home brings with it ideas about…

Tiling gods
We have continued work on the bathroom… it’s slow because (wo)man handling the tiles is a bit of a nightmare, and so it only really happens at the weekend. We have, however, nearly finished one of the walls – it’s just got a couple of irritating needing-cutting tiles to do right up at the top.…

Run baby run.
It’s been tough recently. I mean, I’m not talking about things outside the US – that’s been tough, too. Or climate change (which is both inside/outside the US) which is just…intense. But just here. And in the UK, too, I suppose. I’ve been fighting to just be me in the world, I guess, since I…
