LOOK at my kit for the late Victorian larp I'm attending in a month and a half The only time I feel hot and confident as a woman is when I get to play an old, mean one (and, in my heart of hearts, I feel like I'm doing a drag performance throughout)

Me, in front of a metal door, wearing a late Victorian getup complete with puffy brown sleeves, a long skirt and a white vest.

A vegades cal fer coses per la gent que estimes com despertar-te a les quatre per anar a la brama del cérvol. D'altra banda, quines bèsties més boniques

Me: I need to focus and write my dissertation chapter Me to me: Send an abstract to that cool cfp for the collection about videogames you've had saved for months

Ahir vaig presentar la meva comunicació "(In)Dignity in the Mud: Pig Bodies and Identities in Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn and Reynolds’ Revelation Space” a la conferència ASYRAS Sailing Through Academia. Va ser una experiència molt bonica!

Me, presenting a paper. Behind me, a slide showing a still from the movie Porco Rosso, with the quote "It's better to be a pig than a fascist"

Avui Fer i jo fem set anys juntis, aquí teniu un highlight dels moments més ridículs d'aquest últim any per demostrar que love is stored in the weird Seriously though, I could not ask for a better companion to face the horrors with <3 En 12 dies començem el tràmit per casar-nos, yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

An odd, blurry picture of my fiancé and I. He's standing tall with his head hidden by a flash of light, and I'm facing him screaming and striking a pose meant to resemble some sort of magic caster. The general vibe of the picture is chaotic, but it's meant to seem like I'm making his head explode

My fiancé and I sort of wrestling at a snowy mountain. He's managed to almost throw me to the ground and is smiling at the camera, the fucker

My fiancé and I wearing attrezzo for a larp. He's wearing a full gillysuit and I'm wearing zombieesque makeup

My fiancé and I at Saló del Manga, cosplaying the Pure Vessel and Grimm from Hollow Knight but the cosplays are not very good

Today I got to tattoo my dearest friend @richardlopatina.bsky.social and myself. We got matching centipede buddies! Been a while since I tattooed and I missed it very much. Also, check the skull-shaped inkcaps I got, they're so cute!

Després de sentir vàries comunicacions i ponències sobre ginoides i maniquins, posar el meu vestit de boda al maniquí per treballar-hi (vull rebaixar les mànigues i escurçar la faldilla) em fa sentir com un senyor estrany i pseudofreudià En fi, mireu que bonic els detalls de la tela!

Un maniquí rosa i lila amb un vestit blanc molt elaborat. Només se'n veu la part de cintura cap amunt.

Ahir vaig presentar la meva primera comunicació al congrés Galatea Despierta, una experiència fantàstica i alhora terrorífica. Em va encantar escoltar les ponències i comunicacions increïbles de la resta de participants, que tenien molt vagatge i em deixen amb moltes coses per llegir i aprendre.

Una mesa de comunicación con cinco personas. Al fondo, se ve una diapositiva con el título "Carne de Monstruo: Marcando las categorías víctimad/agresor en el cuerpo generizado de la criatura de Splice

I'm celebrating this trans day of visibility by being mildly agoraphobic and thus profoundly invisible hidden in my flat unrelated, look at this slightly deranged generalitat graphic (it's Big Sibling, haha)

A pink, white and blue eye graphic with simple shapes. It says "DIA INTERNACIONAL DE LA VISIBILITAT TRANS" at the top in black letters

whatsapps de mi cap a @richardlopatina.bsky.social sobre la campanya que narro i on ell juga (we can be trusted with historical narratives and also irony)

Whatsapp messages written by the person who took the screenshot (me). They say "de fet l'escala es un psyop del meu zamorasona per vendre més república espanyola", "i be zamoramaxxing and antimaciàposting", "im at the cruab, straight up lerrouxing it and by it i mean my república" and "i have pushed the joke to its limit perhaps"

I honestly wouldn't recommend it, the rewatch is worse. I feel so bad for Dren in its small-weird-kangaroo-creature stage. Like, looking at this thing and knowing what's going to happen to it is brutal:

The creature from Splice (2009) in its second stage, after it's out of the cocoon but before it develops arms.

The conceptual map of my PhD research vault is taking shape, it just so happens that the shape is Circle of Doom.

An Obsidian Vault graph view with many items. It's too zoomed out to make out any words.

learned Inkscape to make my diagrams nicer, here's a little before-and-after it's finally a proper square! I also directionally changed post/transhuman placement because of the 'return'/'ascension' metaphors indivisible from vertical directionality it also resizes better cuz, yknow, vectors

A diagram depicting embodiment in Bruce Sterling Schismatrix saga using a vertical posthumanist/transhumanist axis and a horizontal biological/cybernetic axis. It's a rectangle and its background is purple.

The same diagram but with a square shape, a gradient colorway as a background and clearer arrows and text. The vertical axis has been flipped.

2026 is the year of piercing fangs and voice training and assertivity and being hot and trans. merriam-webster understands this.

I'm not crazy, right? they're being steadily humanised profoundly low-stakes conspiracy but still, from a design standpoint, i do Not like it the features that made this interesting for kids are becoming vestigial. what's the point, then?

Idk who this rat is in the Tea Stilton universe but she has barely any snout. She's also wearing lipstick, upsettingly.

Fa tres dies vaig veure a un anunci de pis un peluix idèntic a la meva ossa polar que tinc des dels dos anys i que m'ha fet tant feliç. M'havia rendit a no identificar mai d'on ve, i ara veig esperança... L'empresa del pis no em fan ni cas (normal, clar) i se m'ha renovat una obsessió :/

Un correu electrònic de mi cap a una empresa de pisos, que llegeix: Hola, vengo a preguntar una cosa un poquito rara: me podríais decir, si lo sabeis, donde se compró el oso de peluche que aparece en la foto? Tengo uno igual pero mucho mas viejo, y lo tengo des de los dos años, y me encantaría saber de donde era. Ya sé que no tiene nada que ver con el piso y no es vuestro trabajo, pero me haría muy muy feliz. Soy una persona autista y mi peluche me ha acompañado y ayudado durante veinte años. Muchas gracias por leerme!

A sobre del correu es veu una foto del pis, amb un ós de peluix blanc assegut a sobre un llit.

My novel isn't finished yet, but it does have a beautiful cover made by one of my friends and favourite illustrators (she's @plenilunni in instagram). She'll also be doing some internal illustrations!!!! I'm so hyped to be able to show people this project :) Only 12/30 chapters to go!

A book cover with a blue cow's eye at the center. A red wire is coming out of it. The novel's name is "Children of Cattle", written over the eye, and under the eye it says "Jules Otero i Besolí" and "Illustrated by Rosa Rosselló".

Here's all the primary sources I'm reading for next year's PhD (Ánduril for scale). If someone finds me dead over the summer, I blame whatever author I read last (unless it was Simmons, in which case I blame myself and myself only).

A big pile of SF books (17 in total) next to a replica of the LOTR sword Ánduril.

I got proposed to!!!! It was very sweet and dorky and special and I got proposed with a very pretty doe ring and a replica of Ánduril (!!!)

My hand against a black background with a lot of rings. All of them are silver exept a golden one that has a doe sitting on top.

Me, shrugging, holding an Ánduril replica. It's a very grainy photo and it looks like a black metal cover album

Les meves adquisicions de Sant Jordi han sigut Madre de Isabel del Río (editorial @eltransbordador.bsky.social) i el primer de Stella Signata de @ricardefa.bsky.social (editorial @maimes.bsky.social) Quina il·lusió absoluta em fa llegir-los, i quin gust que hi hagi tanta òpera de l'espai autòctona!

Dos llibres (anomenats al text original).

I am chill and this is normal, i can totally digitalise this later and it will look good, Bruce Sterling isn't real and cannot hurt me or be offended at my attempt at analysing Schismatrix (daily TFM affirmations)

A hand-drawn diagram showing the factions of Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix. Very sketchy.
