I am running the Aravaipa #BlackCanyon60k on Sunday, February 19th. It is a 60km / 37.5 mile point-to-point course that winds south through the high desert just north of Phoenix, AZ. I start at 7am Mountain Time. Finish line cut-off is at 7pm. You can track my progress live here: https://live.aravaiparunning.com/#/black_canyon-2023/213802

Last long run done. The race is a week from tomorrow. I think I'm ready to run 60k in the Arizona desert. #blackcanyon60k #ultratraining #trailrunning

i wrote a bit about my inspiration for making #webgbcam and the importance it's had for me and others on hackaday: https://hackaday.com/2020/10/26/the-game-boy-camera-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-pixels/
warms my heart a lil bit every time i see someone with an avatar that was recognisably taken with #webgbcam
werewolf thoughts, trans thoughts (+)
Five years of HRT have changed my face in profound ways, made it more my own, made it truer. But you can still see the spark of who I was before. The sad eyebrows. The high forehead. The shape of my nose. If the full moon ever does to me what I wish for so ardently, the face I wear then will be even more true, but it will have that same spark.

One of the things about lycanthropy that I find the most evocative and appealing is the idea that a person’s werewolf form looks distinct. Unique. They are not all just big gray, black or brown wolf-human hybrids. Some aspect of their human form ought to be visible, and perhaps other visual signifiers of personality or temperament. I find that variety beautiful and uncanny and essential. Much like trans beauty.

hey cis colleagues. please consider sacrificing some of your comfort this year and talk to your friends and family that might not be voting dem¹ and try. pleas god just try. please get out the vote, or fund GOTV efforts if you can't spare time and energy.
white colleagues, us too. it's Black history month in the US. support your Black and Brown colleagues at work and in your personal life. It's a good day to read about CRT and understand the power structures that are in place and how they unnecessarily advantage us.
all my trans friends are stockpiling ammo because of what we think might be coming. it's scary for us white trans folks, and much worse for Black trans folks right now.
¹ yeah they suck but they aren't actively trying to murder me and my brothers and sisters and siblings and friends.
