Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My spouse is doing monstober. Gotta do something in this world which no one will pay a senior software engineer to code better than AI. She doesn't have a bsky, but here's her FurAffinity post! www.furaffinity.net/view/66547999/ A is the abomination who lives in the lake.furaffinity.netMonstober Abomination by ObscureStarA is the abomination who lives in the lake.. . --. . Gonna try to do a monster a day as an excuse to get more familiar with using affini ... 121
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 03/10/2026In a couple hours I'm going to be back at the park, giving advice to hikers and explaining trees to kids. It does mean I'm missing the community potluck, but next week I'm missing the park for a different community meeting. Why's it always everything on Saturdays? ^-^ 130
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is important. Making government work isn't a one-time thing, it's constant work that resists fascism. Vote blue, no matter who; fix 'em later - protest or primary - don't let something worse in the interim. 110
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 23/09/2026@discord.com I know you need money, but it's gross to see you taking it from addiction pushers like fanduel. 011
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026This is something I do just to feel good; but it kinda feels good to know others are also learning about it. For me, it's two-moves-one stone; out with people and protecting our forest. We also did this behind our neighborhood, before the fire. That's where they stopped it. youtu.be/8QzRKVDRRBwyoutu.beWork underway to clear fuels in Santa Cruz Mountains to prevent wildfire spreadYouTube video by KPIX | CBS NEWS BAY AREA 010
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 05/09/2026New chore just dropped! Ominous noise from the kitchen outlet. Unplugging everything on the circuit didn't help. Tripping the ground fault didn't help. It's off at the breaker box but I promised to staff the visitor center today so it'll hafta hold. 120
Reposted by CrissaCrissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Since Burning Man is happening, I wanted to revisit this. My spouse posted the longer video with her art over on YouTube. There's poetry, music and lights made from interference patterns and guitar pedals, and light sculptures. 2 bikes, 25'x25' camp, all fit on a Mazda 3. youtu.be/gd4XQkDAuXwyoutu.beSmall Car Camp at UnScruz 2026 and 27 BloomsYouTube video by Obscurestar 141

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Oh, how far we've come. This is version 2 of the canopy for Cloey and I think 2.5 or 3 point something for Squeebleflörnk. Oh, and a rad arc generator spotlight. This is from 2013. Have a safe Burn this year, wherever you're celebrating. 100
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Ohh, spouse made me dulce de membrillo - quince paste or cheese - and oh it's quite nice. One of the oldest cooked fruits in the archeological record, quince predate even domestication of the apple. And to think, we were given a crate of it for free. This tastes like the fruit smells! Delicious. 050
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 02/08/2026One thing I like about bsky is the feeds. Each one is different, a different pulse. There's a 'for you' by spacecowboy17 that's entirely 'like' based. I have recently trained it to show me furries vacation photos from liking fursuits in remote locations. Fun seeing fun! 020
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This is why I remain hopeful in this world that has so much bad in it.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Lunch break! I tried to hoof it to see the leopard lilies, but like the ones in my yard, they seem to be done for the season. But everything is so green! 160
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It's always weird when people get defensive about the costs of disposable tech. They make up reasons to dislike modern battery tech. 110
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I made the official transgender icon for MSN Online in October, 1995. So if you've seen this hideous 16-color safe-mode ico file or something based on it, I'm sorry ^-^ commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tr... 270
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 22/07/2026🧵(also content warning, suicide) I don't talk about it much, but I was in a super-dark place the first few years after I realized I was trans. Fall, 1994. I attempted suicide by asphyxiation. Not the first time, not the last. Turns out that's not as easy as it looks in the movies. 160
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 11/07/2026One positive thing about unemployment is skilling up basics. Saturday breakfast: Homemade sandwich bread french toast with homemade elderberry syrup from wild-foraged berries. Most expensive part was the egg. This was one of the first things I learned to cook. 270

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Thinking back to a couple summers ago when we did a week camping in the Sierras and east of the Cascades... I only have video of one of the nights. 010
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026One thing I really like about bsky is #artfight season. It's just a great breadth and mix of artists from different platforms all showing up here and since all the art is original characters it's so creative. Definitely makes a bright point in the world when I need it ^-^ 230
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 23/06/2026"In the void of imagination... may dreams be painted. May electronic voids be free for minds wandering alone, together by the network." All this talk about the Digital Circus ending with Jax reminds me of this poem I wrote back in 1994. Because I was suddenly free... Alone, but not alone. 000
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Sunday buffet, which is strangely like what a friend of mine was having for lunch today, too! We eat primarily vegetarian, but variation is important. We're not vegetarian ourselves; it's an environmental/budget based diet. Protein is protein when it's cheap and not wasting is key! 040
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I always dreamed of having my own little flying machine. My spouse made my dream come true. Sort of. ^-^ 230
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 09/06/2026About a half hour too late to warn me before my outdoor living area started to get drips! All packed now, though. 110
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Pride parade was today! I was holding down one of the street barricades. It was a little smaller in number of booths this year, but the crowds were strong. My bike at the top of the festival kinda became an impromptu self background. So many photos! 170
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Bsky eats my iPad battery faster than watching YouTube videos on full bright. It's nuts. 000
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 26/05/2026This is of me in 1995, the first art I ever commissioned myself. Commissions are always a mixed bag, but it's where I started ^-^ 071
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Views from the park! After my shift at the visitors center Friday, I hiked the trail we just got back for the first time since the fire. I've hiked parts of it before the fire, but never the whole thing, even though it's just under five miles. 030
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 22/05/2026A little seen corner of Big Basin, looking north, northwest into the park from Jamison Creek Road. So many trees killed by the 2020 CZU fire; we've never had weather like that in the written history. But lots of green filling in the gaps already! 060
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 18/05/2026So many butterflies this weekend! Tortoiseshell butterflies, Big Basin State Park. They've been gorging on the Ceanothus, aka the California Lilac, which have filled the sunny spaces in the CZU Complex fire scar. 020
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 16/05/2026This is a rule I follow. It's not that I'm not angry. I'm very angry. It's that there are people who have that as a job already. I support them, it's important work. But if I also do it, there's no escape from the angry. Everyone needs space from angry. It's a marathon, not a sprint. 031
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Have you ever tried to wrap your head around neurodiversity or gender diversity, etc? It's like, everyone is on all these spectrums, just... some people stick out a little more in some direction or other. But that's normal. Atypical or rare can still be normal! Isn't that fun to think about? 120
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 05/05/2026BSKY pileons always seem so inauthentic and synthetic. They use the same formula, the same accusations of being an apologist, the same 'do better' and 'fix your heart' but rarely ever the context of the action. 000
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I'd post more photos, but BSKY just throws them away when I try. Very disappointing to spend time filling in alt text to just get an error that destroys the entire post. 040
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Touching grass? The park was quite pleasant yesterday. I was there from open and closed the visitor center myself. Notable animals seen on the ground: Two young turkey-vultures and the local raven. Rarely get to see the former on the ground! 040

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 23/03/2026"Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid" There's a few movies that took me like a million watches to make it through: The Andromeda Strain was one of them. There's gross-out scenes I couldn't watch in say, Indiana Jones, but this one... This movie terrified me. 050
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 13/03/2026If only clean air wasn't political, guys. But as someone who's life has been made 'political' by those same sorts, I know the best revenge is living!

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Trying to earn a little more cash in this horrid economy; Doordash: - Requires insurance that does not exist (but does not check) - Sends your ID and face to Persona who recently had a data breach and shares it with Palantir - App is written in code a decade out of date and in compatibility mode. 240
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Observation: Even a super greens salad, with garlic stuffed olives, and pickled red onions, beet, and hot peppers and dressed with blue cheese is not enough to eat when you're having a sugar crash x-x 120
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Five authors I’ve read at least five books by of course: Asimov (Foundation, but also The Collapsing Universe; all before I graduating HS) Jack L Chalker (Well World, found in college) George RR Martin (Wild Cards) Elizabeth Moon Becky Chambers (current fav) This list could be *alot* longer 020
Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Good advice for getting over any mistake; breathe, slow down, recreate a safe pattern by practice. Everything is practice! Even day to day things.
