You know what’s worse than having a biopsy? Having your insurance fail to approve it. It is now fast-tracked, but goddamit.

Adventuress. Crow chaser. Forest fan. Queer. Cat mom, writer, real slow runner. Winter is my jam. Climb that goddamn mountain. Ultreïa et suseïa.
So I’m having a needle biopsy of a lump on Wednesday, and was feeling confident that it will be benign. (It looks like an injury, they said.) Then I talked to my mom who destroyed every bit of calmness and confidence I had. 😭
The 2026 Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer goes to Jason Sanford.
I have finished Swedish on Duolingo. But I have not finished learning! On a friend’s advice I am now doing Norwegian, which is currently very easy.
10 PM me: I’m going to bed early! I can get lots of sleep! 1:30 AM me: Brain, can you please let me sleep? Pretty please?
Neighbors have begun shooting off fireworks and the cats are not amused. Jack will growl when they are close to the house.
The most frightening part of today’s brouhaha was when my throat closed up due to an asthma attack and/or a panic attack. I couldn’t inhale enough to get the albuterol in. Legit thought I might die. We were headed to the ER when my airway opened, whew.
In the last 12 hours: my laptop bluescreened; I tripped and fell carrying breakfast, sending me to urgent care for X-rays & stitches; had the worst donut ever (Dunkin’, what have you done?); and came home to a power outage. Today is fired.
Excited to see Pattie Gonia tonight! At the Bluestone, which is such a cool venue.
I hate it when you are all excited about the Cooper’s Hill cheese rolling event in Gloucestershire and no one wants to talk about it.
I really miss the old voting system for #eurovision. It was funny how many countries would vote for their neighbors, except in western Europe.
So the #eurovision trends this year are pointy metal finger covers, singing while lying on the floor, and mothers.
Italy has inverted the clothing removal trend by putting clothes on. #eurovision #italy
Loving Croatia’s performance! So far my favorites have been Denmark, Greece, and Croatia. #euovision
Not a huge fan of Serbia’s entry, but I am grateful for the spectacle. #eurovision
It’s time for the Eurovision grand final! Still grumpy that Sweden didn’t win last year, with what was clearly the best song and performance.
I went to Kent State and this is always a somber day for me. 4 dead in Ohio.
Finally got hot cross buns from Dan the Baker! I ended up with 2 boxes of baked goods, and didn’t trust my fucked-up hands to hold them plus my coffee. They put the boxes in a bag and even offered to carry them out for me! They’re a real class act.
First in line at Dan the Baker this morning! This is a, well, first.
The recommendations on this thread are delightful!!!
Kameron Hurley@kameronhurley.com · 7mo agoBrowsing nonfiction library books, flicking past ones like "an amazing thing! Now facing DOOM!" Or "great animals! We're KILLING!" And realized I've become overwhelmed by narratives that make the world seem not worth living in. I want to read books that make me fall in love with the world again
I was on YouTube, looking up a particular dance from Uzbekistan (Lazgi.) One of the responses was an AI video of ”traditional dance” and it, and the clothes, were ridiculously incorrect. Ugh.
Saw the Aurora concert in a movie theater - her show from Mexico City on dia de muertos. It was so good, not just the concert, but the feel of a giant safe space. We need more of that in the world today. www.auroraincinemas.com/synopsis/
