Traveling is the worst part. Something like 20 hours with very little sleep, a nap, and finally a great meal. Going to bed to get our bodies adjusted.

Yep. I’m trying to use the tool of the oppressor, but if they suppress everything that’s meaningful, then there’s no point to staying.

Screengrab of my TikTok showing 0 views on the most recent video.

And this is where we are. New video on TikTok is being suppressed. It’s about Minneapolis and Alex Pretti, and has 0 views. Have to wonder if my intersex content will also be suppressed going forward. This is what state-run media looks like. #censorship #alexpretti #tiktok

Reading through some prose submissions, and I must say, people are going through it. Not surprising given *gestures wildly at everything*.

Not at all because it makes sense. Character deaths are always harder on the writer. We as readers should only be mad if those deaths are unearned or badly done.

Staring at the screen, knowing that a character I love dies in the scene I have to write. Ugh. I hate it.

My Luna used to do that when we had a balcony. She doesn’t need anybody else to play.

Two cats and a Kobo perched on a blanket.

Not a bad way to spend Christmas morning. Two snuggled cats and a good book. #cats #reading #christmas
