Trunk project rules:
1) If it's in the trunk, it's there for a reason. Do not publish until the reason has been addressed.
2) If it's not in the trash it's because there's value in it. Do not throw it away.
3) If you're worried about posthumous stuff, leave notes about Rule 1.

Believe it or not, the first Mo*Con was in 2006 making this year its 20th Anniversary! We can’t let that achievement go uncelebrated, so we’re bringing back some old friends and welcoming some new ones! Mo*Con 2026 runs April 30th (coincidentally my birthday) through May 2nd.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags.
But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person.
Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.
Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

audio. if a screenreader app reading it aloud to me can't turn the words from blob to meaningful phrases and paragraphs again, then it's just a mental thing I'll have to work through. but if it DOES unblob the words, then i can get inside the words again soon

contract is signed! my sci-fi story, milt, from the bsfa's Fission #5 anthology, will be "reprinted" by @escapepod.org in audio 🎧 in January 2026.
it is, incidentally, the horniest story I've ever published. gender essentialism comes here to die. ✌️

there will be GenCon photos once i am caught up on things that must be done l upon returning to a residence I'm responsible for—as opposed to the lovely respite of a vacation in a hotel where i don't have to clean, cook, stock a fridge, hang laundry....

Today is International Owl Awareness Day and I had a hoot putting together this thread of international owl phrases, starting with this one…
A colloquial way of telling someone to mind their own business in Punjabi is apna ooloo sidha rukh. It means “keep your own owl straight.”

A brutal Hindi insult for someone who has vexed or wronged you (greatly) is ullu ka patta. It means “you’re a son of an owl.”

at this point (depending on the topic) i add reddit to the query because the human replies are easy to pick out (and the communities downvote and callout the fakes usually) but if I'm looking for something visual it's a total crapshoot 😵

5 days of socializing at GenCon didn't drain my social battery at all
amazing how feeling comfortable, welcomed, being accessibly located, and surrounded by my kind of people talking about my favorite hyperfixations can do that
(also sleeping 8 hrs a night and acquiring safe foods for breakfasts)
