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.

Not since November?
Wow. It’s been a while. I mean it’s not entirely surprising. Life’s been full – at the same time as it’s been the same as always. But November was pretty much all taken up with writing my book – first draft finished but not edited. Dear lord is it not edited – and my short…

Self perception is an interesting thing
I’ve been being beaten with the stick of “Your perception of yourself is wrong” of late. So I’ve been singing. That’s been good. I’ve been very much enjoying singing… apparently my opinion of how good I am has little relation to the reality experienced by others. In so far as my singing teacher tells me…

The past is catching up with me.
Uh, just so y’s all know, I have vaguely intended to transfer in old diary entries from the mists of time (1999-2002) – and I just realised it’s updating on Mastodon despite the 1999 timestamps. I’m not going to do a ton of them and it may take years since it’s manual. But yeah. Expect…

It’s a rough morning in my head.
Hot take: It’s a shitty time. Look, the world certainly doesn’t need some more political analysis from a random brit – even an queer immigrant POC brit living in the US. Waking up to find that New Zealand has slid rightward, that Australia went from over 60% being pro-Aboriginal representation being added to the constitution…

Fraying
So. Before we start today’s little ensemble piece I’m going to say I’m okay. I am, however, thinking I might want to get some therapy. I’ve been talking about it for a while, and with my customary speed am moving in that general direction. So yeah. I’m okay, but just not in a fabulous place…

Why so quiet
So, y’may have noticed that I’ve been kinda quiet on here. That’s because I’ve been rambling a lot on mastodon (@pyoor@lgbtquia.space) and I’ve also been chatting on the Dorley discord (for the Alyson Greaves novels, although I love all her novels), but mainly I’ve been doing my singing (what I rambled about yesterday) and I’ve…

Sing a happy melody
A little while ago I decided I was going to start having singing lessons. I’m not sure where exactly, but it’d been lurking in the back of my head that this would be something fun to do. I enjoy singing but I’ve always been a bit… nervous about my voice. I mean, it broke as…

Well, that’s a thing that happened.
This post talks about weight, and body image. A lot. It might be triggering for some folks (and some trans folks). So – I’ve lost weight. Not a ton of weight. But some. I’m kinda weight wise both where I’ve settled (no more seems to be shifting and I’m happy with what I’m eating and…

Away/Back
There’s an interesting vague anxiety which I find now accompanies being offline. I notice it if I forget my phone – generally a rarity – but that uncomfortable sensation that I’m missing something important. Not that I’m missing out, though there’s elements of that. But that I’ve left behind something significant, like my keys, or…

Getting Motion Going on a Raspberry Pi 2B 1.1
Plan was go use the Pi’s own built in camera connector and add a USB camera for a second view. I also added a USB Wifi dongle because the Pi2B doesn’t have WiFi. So this was one of those things that was theoretically easy, but turned into an abject nightmare of ridiculousness. Mainly because the…
