Composite

From my years working at the Geology Library at the University of Texas (for Dennis Trombatore, a wonderful person, R.I.P.)

This weekend I went to see the Pokemon drone show down at the Ferry Building, having always been curious to see a drone show.

I meant to come back to say that the Sector General books about the giant space station hospital (and interstellar ambulance) actually IMPROVED past book 6 or 7.

I have been extremely busy in a good way and will be able to talk about my new project soon!

I have made a fancy cocktail called “El Presidente” with rum, dry vermouth, cointreau, grenadine, and a twist of lemon.

A minor complaint about a thing I just mended — a “fancy” and “heavy duty” wooden coathanger.

I have been a bit overwhelmed and need to spend a good part of today catching up with all my projects and things.

This is utterly trivial, and I should be working right now, but the other day I was making dinner and had a vivid memory that haunts me a bit.

I have a cosy day of domesticity planned as I spent a lot of this week out of the house.

Rather comically I have from a fairly young age, thought forward to wanting to be “wise” and the practice of being an elder.

I was excited about Lightscape because I thought it was sort of an expansion of Entwined — a bunch of large glowing installations in the park.

When Quilter and I left Mary’s house I ended up with several large plastic bins of Freddie’s collages as well as some boxes of slightly mildewy books.

While going through Freddie‘s political books, zines, and pamphlets, we came across this interesting zine, undated and with no editor / publisher listed, containing Heidi Hartmann’s 1979 essay “The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism: Towards a More…

I just was thinking about some past hoaxes today and realized I never posted here about the CBC’s 6 part podcast Gay Girl Gone.

On my way to get my allergy shots I take two trains and pass from 3 to 5 little free libraries, which I often raid.

I have a new little zine ready and printed!
