iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Now, I've had real "your life is in danger but I'mgonna save ya" moments, too, but very few. Never had to do CPR, for example. Heat stroke? That spinal injury rescue that still haunts me? Yeah. But the kids were just kids and talking them through it made it so much easier for them.

That kind of thing. Walking them through it because they're kids and they're smart enough to know that shit can burn. Of course, drying the chlorinated water off makes peroxide burn less. Which I tell them as I do it. Almost always a kid goes from kicking and screaming to being pretty chill.

Fucking facts. In a MUCH reduced capacity, Lifeguard Jesse used to get a lot of little kids with scraped up knees, elbow, etc. Almost always nothing serious. "Now I have to clean this. It's going to sting a little but it's not really bad. First I'm just gonna dry it so it doesn't burn so bad."

Last day to jump on the trundle with this punk bundle! #Steampunk, #Aetherpunk (including my book Locker's Rebellion), #Hopepunk and more! $24 bucks gets 24 books on #itch, meaning YOU control the files and how you use them. What's more punk than the liberty to own your own stuff, eh?

The Punk Bundle is awesome. Sincerely all the folks I see in it with me have made this one a real blast. Get it while you can: $24 bucks, 24 books.

Almost every single comment, hidden or not, is asking you @blizzard.com @support.blizzard.com @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com to do one thing, enforce your own TOS and ban people breaking it and threatening to break it Or is policy not equal for all players? Do you even care ? @wowhead.com

My podcast is only a year old. I'm so geeked to be nominated for this particular episode because it's an episode ERRRRYBODY needs to listen to.

I have heard the big popular song. I didn't particularly care for it, and I mostly listen to industrial/goth/metal/anime/etc so I don't hear it in my rotations. I do think it's a little inescapable if you go out in society, but that doesn't mean you MUST have heard it, either.

Ya see, this bundle? **Slaps the bundle's hood** It can fit a whole lotta punk stories, it sure can!

Yup. :/ I've seen just how expendable they believe some of my Queer siblings to be. There ain't no LGB without the T. You set any of us on fire, be assured we'll make you burn with us.

Let me give you the actual solution to this problem. Universities and colleges have to hire football players as union employees (AFL-CIO, same as the NFL), with no requirement to attend school. They get health and retirement benefits, and are limited to a five year employment contract.

Me: I'm moving, which means I don't have to vote for Republican-lite Transphobe Tom Suozzi! Also me: I'm not voting for Transphobes. Not even sure I wanna do the headaches of reregistering in time for this. Could just early vote in Nassau and be done.

Jesse Pohlman (He/Him) @jpohlmanwriting.com · 28/09/2026

I know it's easy to say, "I was gonna donate to this guy and vote for him" before I move there, but, yeah. Not anymore.

It occurs to me (perhaps in a very preconceived-notion type-a way) that I haven't *directly* promoted the #Itch Punk Bundle yet. It's got some #Steampunk, some #Solarpunk, some #Hopepunk and a bit of my own #Aetherpunk to boot in the form of Locker's Rebellion. Grab it now! itch.io/b/3913/punk-...

As much shit as I give Hochul, for what it's worth Blakeman is a Fascist ghoul and I'm so glad I'm leaving Nassau.

#SpoonieAuthChat Mainly anxiety and depression here, but I also kick up some AuDHD vibes so that's always interesting to consider. As is "Neurofabulous," by the way. Definitely an interesting term! :)

Thank you kindly! Erica is a traumacaltrop though lol I totally bugged out last night. :)

"Randomly" remembering the 2012 swim team season when our kids didn't have a pool because Hurricane Sandy wrecked the damn town including the rec center we it operated out of. Couldn't be seeing footage of my hometown flooding this week caused some memories to stir. :/

Jesse Pohlman (He/Him) @jpohlmanwriting.com · 28/09/2026

Okay, Jesse, stop trying to analyze your writing at 2AM. Erica is NOT a Traumamuffin. Maybe she would become one if I wrote a 4th book, but she's a real menace, especially in Book One. Sari, OTOH, is kind hearted. She embraces being a doctor who can heal people.

Jesse Pohlman (He/Him) @jpohlmanwriting.com · 28/09/2026

Actually Sari in Physics *might* have Erica beat. Being forced to constantly heal people who are injured as a test subject is bad. But the breadth of what Erica goes through thinking her child died in childbirth only for Books 2 and 3 to happen is...A lot.

Jesse Pohlman (He/Him) @jpohlmanwriting.com · 28/09/2026

Branden Frost in Pillars, w/his whole "family massacred" background. Erica Hall in Physics Incarnate, given her baby and all that. Lahira Ocean in Protostar but moreso in book 2 and the unpublished third.
