[She/They] I'm a thirty-something Chicago freelance photog/photojournalist and classical musician with many pop culture opinions. I love film, video games, and TTRPGs with crunchy math. Would love to develop more local connections (and play board games).

A safe and successful sex party can only exist with Clearly Defined Boundaries. And if any participant is feeling pressured to attend? It's NOT SAFE. Throw this whole cohort in the garbage. (Note: everything is better with clearly defined boundaries. EVERYTHING)

I shouldn't be allowed access to online shopping after 10pm. I can usually restrain myself, but late nights are when I'm most likely to get into a "can see myself really getting into small scale metalsmithing" mood

I was chatting with a fellow elder millennial nerd yesterday, and they were bemoaning the stereotype of the queer dnd player who plays with their polycule, has funky colored hair and pop culture tattoos, and is into renfaires and bdsm And I'm just like 🫢

It wasn't having to get reading glasses that made me feel elderly, it was the realization that they were way too weak and I needed to get stronger replacements that did it.

I live on one of the busiest bus lines in my city. Why in the HELL am I consistently stuck waiting for 30+ minutes for a bus just because it's a weekend? We desperately need transit reform.

Rideshare music update: right after I buckled in, To Sir With Love started playing on the radio. I'm taking it as a sign that today will be a good day at work, because it's one of my favorite songs (from one of my favorite movies)

Rideshare music update: we got weird Christian rock, my friends. Lyrics include "with the power of the holy ghost, we're taking back what the enemy stole," and "we're storming the castles of hell." Yikes.

Since I had to work on my birthday, my bosses got everybody together to rowdily sing at me and make sure that my face got as red as possible. ❤️

Yeeted yet another person from my socials (and life) from the small town I grew up in. Almost nobody connects me to that place now, and that is a Good Thing. I kept a couple folks, but that's because they're extra cool.

One of my favorite things every election day is finding people gleefully live tweeting steve kornacki's every move. I get so much earnest and unironic joy from threads like this

As the PR for the new show putting money in the pockets of the shitty wizard lady heats up, just remember: Everything every person has been coached by PR to say is total bullshit and we can call it that. Will tap the sign again, and will do so many more times this fall: bsky.app/profile/mory...

I'm angry about the worst topic to be angry about on social media: non-nuanced takes on nuanced situations. Sometimes it can be a real bummer.

I had my dosage increased for one of my meds a few days ago, and it was such a positive change that I found myself crying happy tears when I could get dressed and leave my apartment. Being medicated allows me to do my life, including my art. I wouldn't be able to experience euphoria otherwise.

You know for a fact these mfers have never watched a WNBA game in their lives before they could use it to justify their own hatefulness. But sure, keep going off about the sanctity of women's sports.

I just read a headline saying that Abdul El-Sayed could be the first Muslim senator in the US, and damn it struck me again how badly represented we are by the Senate. The FIRST?! For fucks sake, our diversity is our strength. We MUST make our representative bodies look more like the actual US.

A large Vietnamese coffee may not have been the best idea right before my yoga class. They're going to want me to meditate, but I'm probably just going to vibrate my chakras out

Ken Jennings is a perfect example of someone who *thinks* he's doing allyship properly until he has to take a step back and listen. I'd bet all the money forever that he has no idea why trans folks are mad at him. This should be an object lesson for cis allies.

Finally got around to watching Blood Simple (1985) for the first time. It's a beautifully shot and acted film, and I definitely understand why it's so well respected. It all came down to the score for me, though. It was perfection.
