selfie, tf (anticipated)
I've been advised in a manner most flattering that my #trans #werewolf #horror story "They Say Don't Get Clocked" ought to be nominated for a #Hugo or a #Nebula, so it's temporarily available for $0.00 (or donation).
"They Say Don't Get Clocked" is a story of pure catharsis. It references almost every moment of discomfort and otherness I have felt as a trans woman, and it celebrates the elation and power of becoming my true self. I'm proud of it and I hope you like it!

You should commission @mavica_again for a pixel portrait! It did TWO of me (CGA-style and Macintosh System 7 style) and.. it JUST occurred to me that they are basically the only stylized images of my human self that I like seeing. https://maple.pet/commissions

BUILDING A WEBSITE LIKE IT'S 1999... IN 2022
✨👏 A wonderful post by @sophie about how she brought back the weird and fun side of the Web on her personal website:

for like a decade i used a mac. i used mac OS every day. it aspires to perfection. in fact, unlike other computer software, it actually aspires to be good. but it can not succeed. the task is impossible. mac OS is a failure. i jumped ship, and embraced chaos. i recommend that you also embrace chaos. nothing will ever work properly and you know it. admit it to yourself. switch to windows, switch to linux. they're equally chaotic. your computer will be worse, but your life will be better
re: werewolf thoughts
it would be extremely funny to transform into an 8-foot-tall icon of lupine terror here in my parents' guest bedroom and simply curl up and fall asleep. I've already undergone ONE physically arduous, mentally taxing process that made me extremely sleepy and that other people think I'm insane for enjoying... why not another one?
fitness, selfie
Today I ran the Bear Creek Loop in Arizona's Pusch Ridge Wilderness. 18 miles, 3,000 feet of climb (and descent), 10 recently-flooded water crossings (including two that went up to my hips), 5 hours 53 minutes.
Incredible views, a howl in the wilderness, ice in the sun, the Arizona Trail, a helicopter fly-by, switchbacks forever, no shortcuts. An absolute blast.
