Two biopsies at the Dermatologist this morning and I have to wait two weeks for results. As a melanoma survivor that's way too fucking long to wait.

Power outage means pivoting my whole day to find somewhere to work from. Starting with Tim Hortons then moving over to the library when they open, if they have power.

I finished Parable of the Sower and started Parable of the Talents last night and hoo boy, did Octavia Butler predict everything that we are living through right now. 💙📚

aebrossbooks.itch.io/cybersnow This was a cute dystopian, queer retelling of Snow White. I loved how the author represented neurodivergent characters in a thoughtful, kind, and realistic way. I saw myself and my wife in the characters, watching the love story unfold was so sweet. @aebrossbooks.com

I always feel in my heart sink when I see posts like this. The Democrats have failed to capitalize on so many obvious angles of political attack in my lifetime. Whenever some really basic strategy is explained, I imagine them staring like a dog who doesn't understand pointing.
🗽LOLGOP🗽@thefarce.org · 6d agoRural hospitals closing or shutting down key departments like obstetrics will be one of the biggest stories of 2027. Democrats need to make it one of the biggest stories of the next two months.
There's a woman I sometimes see jogging in Detroit carrying what looks to be a Bo staff; I'm not sure if it's some kind of fitness training thing or just something to whap people with if they f' with her, but either way I love seeing her.

I haven't begun to process my feelings about Dolly passing. I was blessed to see her perform live in 2016. It was just her on stage and she filled the auditorium with her power. She had a lot of amazing songs but this is a favorite. It really showcases her strength as a musician.
