Alice in Wonderland inspired art piece in the restaurant.  Focus a woman in a black dress, he had thrown back, eyes closed her hair blowing around her, blending with her dress in a stylized almost flame like way.

Also: Amazing art in the restaurant.

Tacos! Laid out on a dining table in a restaurant.  Other half is having chimichanga. Photo of me looking knackered after a long day, but looking forward to my tacos!

I got to enjoy tacos. On a Tuesday. In a Mexican restaurant. In Edinburgh.

my OC Ridani, a fire genasi with wavy fiery hair pulled back in a ponytail. she's leaning on her elbows and regarding the viewer sadly. she's wearing brown and gold armour under a dark cloak, and has one blue feather earring my OC Gwyndolyn, a silver-white unicorn woman with darker blue hair and a sings golden horn. she's wearing purple, and a dark blue coat my OC Amity, a pale vampiric woman with wavy red hair chopped short on one side. she's lowering her sunglasses to regard the viewer, and wearing a short skirt paired with a button-up shirt and a long coat my OC Korinna, a pale elven woman with long red hair wearing green and framed in gold. a green snake winds around the outside of the frame. above the frame rests an anchor, and below it is a book open to a map on one page, and notes in elvish on the other

The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.

Nothing says "we support women's rights" like a bunch of beardy cunts forming a mob in order to harass a woman *about women's rights*.

I read two of Rebecca Thorne's series so far - "Can't Spell Treason without Tea" and "A Pirates Life for Tea" - both excellent warmth-in-my-tummy-and-heart reading, w/Spicy afterglow ;)

More retro-gaming shenanigans! This time a book about the prolific 8 and 16-bit videogame soundtrack composer Rob Hubbard, most famous for his work on the #c64 in the 80's. Fabulous encyclopedic timeline of his work.

Photo of book Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree depicting two fantasy style characters - a tall, muscular orc woman with long black hair, tusks, and pointed ears, and a smaller woman with pinkish/red skin, and horns (can't describe further because : Spoilers!) - they are behind a tavern-style counter with baked goods/cakes,  cups can be seen hanging on the wall in the background, and coffee beans held in a container.

Travis Baldree: Legends and Lattes - devoured the three books in this series in the last year, absolute delights, featuring exceptionally well-written characters. Wonderful relationships, Travis writes sapphic v.well!

Frank Gasking's "The Games That Weren't" - an amazing and beautifully made archive trove of various games from the dawn of gaming to fairly recently that were developed but never released. I love to graze this book!

Photo of the book "Gideon the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir, depicting a swordswoman dressed in black, with skull facepaint, aviator glasses, and a shock of red-hair walking all cool-like through an explosion of skeletons and bones.

First up, inevitable re-read of Tamsyn Muir's "Gideon the Ninth" (amazing audiobook read by Moira Quirk) - the first in an as-yet Trilogy.. Come on Tamsyn, don't GRRM us with Book 4! Gothic WhoDunit with necromancers!

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

Stormtrooper, drawn ✏️ by me in white Crayola.

Drawn on black 8"x12" paper, 2018.

I think I drew this from a scene in the Force Awakens, right at the start. Which is a great film, don’t at me. ☺️

Photo of a large hardback book called "Arcade Decades" The cover is black with an image of arcade cabinets forming a street lit by their attract lights. Inner cover of the book showing photos of various arcade game screens. A random page, showing a colour photo of the arcade game "Phoenix" and a page of text relating to it.

Best and worst thing about backing a kickstarter is that you forget all about it when it inevitably falls behind schedule. So when it drops onto your doorstep you're briefly "Wtf?" Then remember and get a "free" surprise!

Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation.
Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

What I liked about CachyOS was it all pretty much worked, and it had built in right-click>run Windows .EXE files, so portable apps worked straight off, and there's also WinBoat for installable apps, but I've barely played with it yet, having found most of the apps I need natively.

Dear Diary. It is now two weeks since I left Windows 11 behind, initially for Bazzite Linux.. but found it a little boring because everything worked, so I'm now on CachyOS and learning about pipewire, AUR, and other stuff and its glorious having something to tinker with that also just.. works. :)
