A quick summary of recent events in my life: wonderbink.dreamwidth.org/239946.html

I'm staying home and having my birthday party today. (It's embarrassing having the same birthday as that creep.) If you're hitting the streets, godspeed and stay safe.

I just wrote a page of longhand with legible writing. I don't know if I can fully articulate what a triumph this is.

Hey, Georgia peeps! There's a primary going on for Public Service Commissioner. Early voting runs through Friday; election day proper is the 17th. The Public Service Commission regulates the delivery of electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications. If any of these matter to you, #VOTE.

Reminder: "Doing something" doesn't begin and end with protesting or donating money. Do you... Volunteer? Contact Congress over issues that matter? Defend trans rights whenever possible? Check in on a loved one who's been having a rough go of things? Congratulations. You're doing something.

Happy Birthday, Nick!

I’m not in pain. For the first time in weeks, I’m not in pain. I’m not quite sure what to do with myself.

I try not to make too many political posts--and fail at this miserably--but I do have to ask: If you alienate everybody but MAGAs who buy your cars to "own the libs" and then turn around and alienate the MAGAs, who's left? Because Musk is going to lose them in the custody battle.

(A writing class in the future) "Then after Romantasy, we had Romystery, Romagical Realism, and Romilitary SF..."

These scammers have some funny notions as to what a "toll booth" is and does. Is anybody fooled by this?

A Messy Tribute to Peter David, Writer of Stuff. wonderbink.dreamwidth.org/239628.html

@jelvisweinstein.bsky.social Dear Mr. Elvis: I've been grappling with a condition with the primary symptom of all-encompassing pain. I took my mom's suggestion and used comedy as a treatment. Your album was one I listened to. I found I was (for a change) able to lie down and relax. Thank you.

The pain is still going on, but I tried something that has done more to quell the pain than anything I've tried and it WORKED. Comedy. I played the stand-up albums on my phone and I was able to lie down (which I normally can't do in this state--I have to just pace) and laugh. It was like magic.

The great Peter David, Writer of Stuff, has passed - I’ve known him since the late 90s, and his wife Kath even longer - they’re a big part of my extended convention family. I’m going to miss our many weird conversations, Rib Runs, and just the great sense of fun he brought to everything…

I know every penny will help my sister.

Peter David, my brother-in-law, passed away after an extended illness. I don't have much to say right now.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

This is even less time, but as of 5/22/2025 is not too late. Tell your government (assumig you're a USian) that COVID-19 vaccines are for everyone.

I just thought of this: 🎶 She's Penny the Gender Squid A friend to adults and kids! She treats us so well Says to TERFs "go to Hell" She's Penny the Gender Squid! 🎶

I just changed the gender of a character. Started out as a cisgender woman, and then I thought it would be interesting for her to be nonbinary. Dutifully changed the pronouns, though there were no LOOKIT HOW NONBINARY I AM moments. 1/

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, board games, video game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, computers, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, passport services and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit 📚❤️

Microsoft, please. I'm a novelist. I'm completely capable of creating nonsensical bullshit on my own.

One of the things this tells us is that our fascination with such things is not always a case of the media manipulating us to be fascinated. Sometimes it's baked right in. Two dead and multiple injured. Spare a thought for them.
