Goddamnit. I just smoked my last cigarette.
Everything is about to become horrible.
Well, I mean, the state I’m already in is well beyond horrible already, but, you know, like… EXTRA horrible!
By the way, I think I totally need to draw a comic called Spiroman vs. Doctor Testostopus.
Anyway… I have some requests!
It seems people would like to know how someone writing a trans character in work of fiction can do so without totally fucking it up.
Well… [Read more…]
Damn.
The birds outside are being total jerks right now. You have like no idea.
I also think it’s important for you to know that my favourite Marvel characters are totally Dr. Strange, She-Hulk, Mystique, Magneto and Emma Frost, while my favourite DC characters are Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Gordon, Renee Montoya, The Doom Patrol, Wonder Woman, Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor and Zatanna. And maybe Dick Grayson. He’s really warming on me lately.
Right now my brain is functioning quite strangely. Sleep dep and all. That stuff.
And as it happens, I’ve lately been questioning the concept of “neurotypical” lately. [Read more…]
I’m kinda maybe possibly sorta running out of ideas of things to write about.
Or at least things I can write about with a highly limited time-frame and a brain that is rapidly losing its ability to function.
What is it with superpowers and the colour green, anyway? Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Green Hornet, Green Goblin, Jade, The Hulk, She-Hulk, The Riddler, Beast Boy, Martian Manhunter, The Scorpion, The Lizard, etc.
Like, I know is green is like, a totally sweet colour and all, but this is a little weird.
It’s sort of like the weird tendency for mutants to be blue.
Anyway…
There’s one interesting connection between the whole trans thing and the skeptic thing that I don’t think I ever quite took a chance to talk about, and that’s how being trans can teach a lot about intellectual humility. [Read more…]
This is the part of the evening where “thinking” sort of ceases being a viable possibility.
This is my Army Of Happy:
They help cheer me up during moments where I’m not feeling very strong. [Read more…]
And for slightly lighter fare, that doesn’t require quite as much brain power, here’s a list of every good guy metahuman, non-powered superhero, and human agent or operative with metahuman organizations, agencies or teams or whatever, in the DCnU: [Read more…]
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Damn.
Actually nodded off there for a second. NOT a good sign. It’s way too early in the night to start accidentally falling asleep.
So…
One of the many, many frustrating questions us People of the Transitive Function are often asked is “but how did you KNOW?” [Read more…]
Yeah.
So… I am totally officially up past my bedtime. But still a long night of further blogathoning waits ahead.
This where it starts getting difficult.
So, to make things easier, I will be pulling from my requests something that hall-of-rage requested…
A post about cookies! [Read more…]
I’ll let you in on a little secret.
I can type over 100 wpm.
A dear friend of mine just came by with a cup of coffee for me. She’s had a rough day. In addition to the unbelievably dreary weather and being vindictively stalked/harrassed by a neighbour (likely the FPS gamer who lives next door) through a variety of channels including this blog, which serves as a creepy reminder about internet safety for trans women, today was the anniversary of the death of a very close friend of her’s from an overdose. [Read more…]
Ay yay yay.
My brain is SO mushy!
I must have written well over 10,000 words by now.
Maybe some extra estrogen will help…
Or I can tell you the story of how I became a writer. And why I’m subjecting myself to this right now instead of painting pretty pictures. [Read more…]
Arrrgh…
Exhaustion definitely setting in.
The rain has stopped. The clouds have parted. But now the sun is beginning to quietly nestle under the horizon.
I’ve taken my hormones and had a bit of chocolate. I may need some aspirin, though, if the headache returns.
On the plus side, though? 13 is totes one of my favourite numbers.
Here, have a flattering picture of me:
