new years 

I have printed the workbooks, I have my new journal, and I am thinking about trying to make a new date happen before the turn of the year

dogs(negative)(complaining) 

it's been a hard month to be vaguely afraid of dogs

It's dark when I'm running now and dogs are wayyyy more likely to bark at me
&
people secretly let their dogs off leash at the urban park (outside of the dog zone) and I've been jumped on twice! the dog like barrelling up off from some hidden area where I didn't even know they were there!

and also the neighbor keeps leaving their dog on their balcony and they just sadly bark

archives management 

currently working on two different projects for two different orgs
one of which is going in on collective access
and the other we're using Omeka s

and i just love Omeka's easy module add ons & logged in admin view

unfortunately it's for exhibits so it's not really set up for collections management

oh also hey, hi
I mostly lurk these days on every platform, but am actually still here

Logging into my remote environmental monitoring dashboard and sighing happily
at last, after 8 months of nagging and supply chain issues, our cold storage area is cold again!

social media 

I have been loving be real so much, these little glimpses into the day to day of strangers and friends
like the good part of stories, but just like with all the stress turned down

feelings 

Lately chatting with folks and new friends, and feeling that tingly feeling of crush/attraction.
& I think maybe feeling open and excited and curious about people might be back for me?

The ninth annual international Gender Census 2022 is now open until 13th August 2022!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

drizzly summer clouds up in the sky, not quite ready to release the storm, biking home over and up the big hills, a grin on my face & a tallboy of coconut water

taxes 

I've been at this job for approaching five years and they have never correctly done my tax deductions :( I feel stressed about dealing with this gigantic tax bill. After I sent in an updated tax form to try to get the deductions right they still aren't deducting anything at alllll

re: continued storytime invovling a rash 

so I am now covered in a giant rash and it feels very ~re learning the same things long ago ones already learned~ entoten.com/2019/05/05/kintsug learn more here (:

continued storytime invovling a rash 

however, it turns out that the urushi sap that is the foundation of all the various parts of the process is in from the same plant family as poison ivy and friends

Show thread

so - I got a kintsugi kit to repair some sentimental pottery that was dropped by a housemate. I always think 'oh what a beautiful metaphor maybe this time I'll do it', and this time I did!

virtual kink 

i am a virtual pet play mosh, and we are doing show and tell, and it is soooo tender

also what a great accessible way for me to shop as a bunself

substance use 

I am in the midst of my first ever 'sober spring'
which is the longest I've ever gone without drinking alcohol since I was like 17/18 (this is day 44), and maybe this is a new annual practice from equinox to summer.

mapping out the parameters of the space has been interesting , which things fall into this spring's particular practice

anxiety brain 

so!
I'm in the process of attempting to get my nation's membership card which involves needing birth certificates back to the dawes rolls
but since i live in so called canada now I can't just have the state ship me birth cerifcates so I mailed them to a package forwarding service, which still hasn't forwarded them & because I have anxiety I opened a live chat today but then closed it as soon as the help person responded since they wanted a tracking number which I don't have, oops

it is very important to rush to kiss the first kale blossom
then to notice all the other tender shoots

some more relation feelings 

i wish housemates moving out, exes stepping out my life, friends who are going to stop texting back
would stop telling me I am "inspirational"
