iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Very much would like to shake this unshakeable cold, though. Every time I think it's gone it reasserts itself, sneezing and sniffling (and snoozing)

I've been away from home quite a lot this year and had decided, while on the work trip that immediately preceded this leisure trip, that I wasn't voluntarily leaving my city for a while That resolve lasted about five minutes and now I've got things I'm looking forward to, naturally

Had an 18 hour travel day on Wednesday, going from door-to-door from @shinyopals.bsky.social flat to my apartment, but have now slept lots and updated my budget and am about to do every single laundry. Really good to be home where my cats are

I'm so glad to see this, and wish him a fast recovery ❤️

It could be anyone's cold, tbh! No apologies required, worth it regardless

Being sick on holiday is one of the stupider experiences you can have, because you're fortunate enough to be on holiday and unlucky enough to be sick. Sulking to the opening notes of "Celebration" type of experience

During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited. “More houses! More candy!” Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim): “Can I eat the moon!?” Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

that was a blast! I thought I might have recognized you there - I was tall and curly haired and wearing glasses, navy shirt over a chartreuse dress, and seated at the far left of the room on the ground floor with @mosssoupart.bsky.social (who was in a very colourful sweatshirt)

One does enjoy being in a theatre crammed with three tiers of queer nerds

Another joy is witnessing whatever @shinyopals.bsky.social is doing with their AA beans and @wendles1967.bsky.social dozens of pumpkins bsky.app/profile/shin...

A joy of sharing space with friends on vacation is watching the variety and volume of snacks on the snack table inevitably multiply (I just like it when people I like are together in a space)

have you heard of this new thing where you are allowed to be angry and to express it? and that it's not an inherently violent or dangerous thing, to be angry? Yeah turns out they actually launched this at least three or four decades ago I just never got the memo. Self-respect DLC is out too

This made me realize that one genuinely can't talk about Ren without making her sound like a figure of legend

Pine Hutch @pinehutch.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Also this degree of fuck-you hope is a real heavy lift for me today because I woke up with the sniffles and all my bones hurt, but I read the links and said "Is this real? Holy shit. Holy shit." out loud so I figure that's gotta be good

I genuinely think it's important, politically, to read good news items. Believing that the better world is possible, and seeing evidence to shore up that belief, can be important for resisting despair. Medical breakthroughs and stories of liberation and justice are both a part of that, for me

On the other hand, I had a couple pounds of the last of the blue (Jupiter) grapes of the season in the fridge, and last night I made grape juice for the first time*. There's a pint jar of deep purple nectar in my fridge now *childhood experiments with wild grapes and just soooo much sugar aside

Like, GREAT problem to have, and I'm largely grateful for it but I need to remember that while I'm not shy and I love my people, I need unobserved & uncommitted downtime to feel okay. I owe many things to many people and also to me, and even thinking about any of them makes me want to scream/flee

I've spent the last several months filling up my spare time with Activities and Plans and Friends. (Inherently valuable and it forces me to stop working at my ostensible day job.) But my apartment is a disaster and I'm away from home for most of Oct 20-Nov 5 for work followed by fun & I'm STRESSED

I haven't logged into bksy in a week and this was here waiting to slap me.

who would win: loop earplugs or the indefatigable screaming and thudding of living downtown during the university's iconic party weekend (the loops might actually be winning. as for me and my misophonia, we shall remain in the ancient stalemate)

This thrills me both for you and, selfishly, for me when I get to get my eyes and brain into it

Pine Hutch @pinehutch.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

once sat next to a colleague at a retirement party, we were at the same table for six hours, I'd never met him in person before. Two weeks later I saw him in the office and had no idea who he was until he started talking. faces: why bother?!

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Stimulants making you feel relaxed and ready for a nap has to be the funniest thing about ADHD.

These are all poems I've loved for many many many years so I can call them favourites with some confidence, you know?

cruel question <3! Some answers: "my dreams, my works, must wait till after hell" by Gwendolyn Brooks, and "Dark Pines Under Water" by Gwendolyn MacEwen. "Bleecker Street, Summer" by Derek Walcott. "Try to Praise the Mutilated World," Adam Zagajewksi. "The Cinnamon-Peeler," Michael Ondaatje.

This is one of my all-time favorites (and probably the one I would have added to the replies) and I'm so, so glad to see someone else post it!

I'm genuinely not too fussed about writing rejections; having submissions rejected is just part of the process. I do get a little put out by the frequency with which 'we promise to tell you either way' publications and contests just don't actually do that

Thank fucking god (also this reminds me to go look at @emperiocism.bsky.social 's fbw comic soon, too, because it always makes me laugh)

In conclusion I will now look at my cat instead, xoxo

All-day headache and tummy hurting syndrome and a quite pushy colleague/client who is clearly trying to pin something on me and an inbox full of requests like 'can I do this thing that doesn't exist and isn't possible' so naturally I have retired to my chambers to look at The Horrible Screen

"old man yaoi" is a meme at this point but i do think it's sweet and important to write indulgent fantasy about queer people in their middle and late life finding or keeping love 💚 and older people are hotter, sue me

Incredible marketing shot (also agree and it's why I love your stories so much)
