Trick Weekes

Signed trans flag hanging at my desk at work

Since my Alysa Liu trans flag video appears to be getting attention again (so far all good), here’s the post-nationals picture of the signed flag, along with the article from nationals where I talked about it.

Me: Okay, this quiche is for a 9” plate and uses 6 eggs. I have a 10” plate, so relative areas, assume heights equal…
5^2 x 3.14 ~= 78.5
4.5^2 x 3.14 ~= 63.6

Divides to -1.23, call it 5/4 x 6 eggs = 7 and a half, call it 8 eggs and don’t use it all if full OH NO MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH TEACHER WAS RIGHT

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

I hate it. Video is not the same as written media. It doesn't do the same thing and it does serve the same purpose. Also it is so damn slow, I read so much faster than people talk, I don't have enough minutes to waste on all the ado you do after saying without further ado

I'm a dual citizen, and it's an interesting load to process these days.

The Letterkenny translation here feels like their reply to the White House was, "Kick rocks, you pheasant."

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

felt this one right in the ol’ solar plexus

Semi-related, one time @genevrael.bsky.social read one of my rough drafts and said in one section, "This is the clearest it has ever been what it is like to be in your mind," and I'm still honestly not sure whether that was a burn.

It felt like a burn.

Sometimes I read too much of an author's stuff back to back and realize that they're Going Through Some Stuff that is coming out in the narrative, and I wince a little, but you know, I was here for Laurell K Hamilton, and I'm gonna be here for you now, author bud.

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting.

She had some things she needed to get off her chest

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

So cute!

Yes exactly correct. I wish whatever is down there only the best and want to help the Earth so that both we and it can live safely, but I don't ever need to see it or for it to see me. Keep doing you down there, whatever you are.

I just got a call from Brittany Pettersen's office (presumably to ask me if I'm going to caucus and if I will caucus for her) and they started with "you're a strong Democrat and we want to know how you feel" and I just unloaded.

I wrote FEEDER in part because I have a... I dunno if "phobia" is right, but a THING, a recurring nightmare where I'm swimming, and I look down into the water and see something huge deep below, and I just wanna say that I love and respect these creatures and also nope nope nope nopity nope.

“Okay.”

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Nice doesn’t make waves. Nice plays well with others.

Kind is ready to start some shit for someone’s benefit, and then will help pick up the pieces.

Kind has intention and a goal.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

The first mosque in Canada - and the second in N. America - is in Edmonton. Alberta has always been multicultural, built not just by white Christians, but its original Indigenous inhabitants and then by generations of courageous, adventurous, immigrants from around the world. That is our story.

Cover for What Happened at Midnight by Courtney Milan. Image of a white woman in a pale pink dress with a lake and partly cloudy sky at nighttime in the background.

He plans to bring the woman he once loved to account—and he’ll shed no tears when he does.

As a vegetarian, I don't generally care that my friends order meat dishes at a restaurant when I'm with them, but I do care that people who are generally not my friends insist on doing the "Mmmm, bacon!" thing at me when it comes up as a topic of conversation. How insecure they must be.

Hey, Canada. A queer indigenous Albertan, here. Alberta is Canada’s punchline. I get it, believe me. The UCP has 100% earned it.

But my trans relatives here are having a tough time, particularly our youth. The UCP has enabled discrimination for those so inclined. That’s taking a toll. 1/2

And thats a wrap on the ‘Horny Dragon Book’ lmao!

An enjoyable read- definitely going to check out the sequel soon because that last chapter was quite a set up!

If you are looking for a poly (FFM) romance book, id recommend this! Lots of fun set ups and scenery✨

also sensual dueling 🫡

Qapla'

New kind of visual migraine that wasn't just the Cosmic Donut or "sure, let's go through a tunnel of geometric shapes again," but an amazing falling-stars display of firefly lights zipping around my field of view for a WHILE.

If I were a medieval peasant, I would absolutely believe in fairies now.

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

"Left the military with a grudge after honorable service because of some high-level fuckery" is the backstory of the grim antiheroes and tragic villains of like half the direct-to-streaming action flicks out there.

Do you want Stathams? Because this is how you get Stathams.

Hugs, dude.
