what the fuck is wrong with me

I got it done in under three and a half hours, including a mile-long diversion to find the washrooms. It was an insane amount of climbing, made enjoyable by the good-natured fatalism of the 70-ish other runners also attempting the Death Race. I did a lot of power hiking up, and a lot of giddy bombing back down. I could see attempting the full marathon next time!

This morning I ran the Malden Death Race. Runners do laps on a gravel pathway in Malden Park, Windsor, ON. The path runs 280m up the biggest hill in the park, nicknamed “Big Bertha”. Runners can choose how many laps they do on the hill - 40 (half marathon), 80 (full marathon) or 120 (“ultra”). I started at 7am and chose to attempt the half marathon.

14-year-old me would have seen this comic in the Province paper, and the second panel would have been clipped and stashed in my folder of Benign Things that Give Me Indefinable Autistic Non-Human Yearning (in this case a monstrous arm making a casual, human-like gesture).

Last time getting fully suited up in my Predator suit before I box it up and ship it to a new owner. So high maintenance, so fun to wear!

I don't want to give their host network any more money because fuck em, but I do love this MBMBaM sticker...

c'mon tapbots set me free from this web UI

Different poses but both happy mid-run photos. March 2019 vs February 2023. 29 months on HRT vs 64 months. Something’s different around my eyes (other than glasses, haw haw) and mouth/jaw. I’m about 15lbs heavier now but a lot of that is muscle. I dunno. Being trans is WEIRD.

This photo from four years ago appeared in a Home Screen widget on my phone, and I spent a full two seconds going “who’s SHE?” before realizing it’s me. Being trans is so weird

Good weather for a two hour run at the lake

imo you should commission @mavica_again for a portrait maple.pet/commission

it''s drawn me twice in different styles and i am still shaken by what a good likeness it captured with so few colours and pixels

My short story "They Say Don't Get Clocked" is temporarily available for free (https://argylewerewolf.itch.io/dont-get-clocked) because a wise friend said that an anxiety-laden #trans allegory #bodyhorror revenge tale involving a #werewolf #transformation is something #Hugo voters might like.

The Hugo nomination period is now open so check it out, and if you're able, please consider nominating it in the Short Story category! (Hugo site is real slow, sorry https://en.chengduworldcon.com/hugo-awards/#/index)

Photos from the race last month have arrived. I APPROACH (the finish line)

I was a gentle creature last night, but if anyone saw the way I just consumed eight of these spicy dill chicken nuggs, they’d del Toro Wolfman me

Taking my full moon energy tonight and applying it to making low FODMAP blueberry scones with lemon glaze for my partner. It’s not as fun as bringing her 65% of a deer I caught, but she appreciates this more.

I get my money for nothing and my air-dried waves and ringlets for free

where are the cactuses

A commission by @ABoarsiness@twitter.com of me doing what I wish I did best. I’m feeling it. Can you tell?

The box with my Black Canyon stuff arrived today, so I got to update my wall and medal display. I’m pretty proud of what I’ve managed in seven years.
