Shopping for a very specific make/model/year/trim combo for our next car, and every single dealer is trying to get me to make an appointment and come in to try other things. I get that they want to make their pitch, but I know what I want already. I just need to find it. The pushiness sucks.

I’ve been getting clocked and misgendered lately, and I’m genuinely having trouble figuring out why. Maybe my voice? I think I look like a guy. A queer guy, but for sure a guy. But I keep getting called she/her/miss. I hate it. It’s starting to really get to me.

We left the car in Castaic and rented a U-Haul to take us the rest of the way. Got to our hotel around midnight, and finally going to eat dinner from Taco Bell. But we have to get it delivered because the U-Haul can’t fit through the drive thru and the inside is closed.

ae @aelkus.bsky.social:
there is a fascinating book on the history of demonology that makes point that for much of history demons were conceived as middlemen between people and the supernatural realm that you bargained with to get things done

Staying at the Madonna Inn, which is usually really nice. This time though, the people in the room above us are playing loud music all day for the second day in a row. It is loudest inside of our room, and almost imperceptible outside. They themselves are also extremely loud.

I’m working on a puppet as a personal project, and trying some new techniques. I sculpted the basic shapes in monster clay, took a 3D scan, made the sculpture smooth and symmetrical in Nomad, subtracted room for mechanisms, and printed a prototype in foam TPU.
A foam TPU 3D printed prototype next to a clay sculpture of the same character. It is a canine head shape, with accentuated lips. There are no ears or fur on it yet.

I feel like this must have been done at some point, response poems are a storied tradition, but anyway I wrote "Margaret, Bringing Fresh Flowers" today and thought I'd share
Uncle Gerard, do you remember how,
when I was a kid, you found me crying
and I told you it didn't seem fair how all the nice leaves
had to die in the winter when I loved them so much;
and you told me, well, it gets worse from here,
and besides, it's not really the leaves,
you're a smart kid, they'll be back next spring,
but in the meantime you're right of course,
all kinds of things are going to die
and die and die and die and die and die,
your whole life, and it doesn't get easier,
it gets harder, because eventually you realize
all those dead hands go down pointing a finger at you,
and that's actually why you're sad, see,
because in a sense you're next,
even if it takes a while for next to get here? 
And do you remember
how I said, Jesus Uncle Gerry,
can't a person be sad for a tree sometimes,
just sad about a tree?
Well, anyway,
you were probably right,
and you know this already,
because I tell you this every time I come here
but I suspect it's harder to remember things
where you are now
so I'm telling you again,
just in case.

I hope that wherever Dolly is now, she’s with Carl. You could see how hard it was for her to be here without him, and how much of a toll it took. It’s devastating to lose her, but I can only imagine that’s a fraction of what she felt losing him.

I’ve been busy this week meeting with representatives from local unions about the school board race. I’m learning a ton, and am really glad I’ve been taking notes. I haven’t done handwritten notes in long enough I no longer recognize my handwriting, so that’s weird.

Even though I made him, I didn’t actually get a chance to wear Geordi Bear until Sunday night. I took him around the dealer room during the last hour it was open. I usually overheat in these kinds of suits, and it was 110 in Vegas. I was comfortable! #STLV #mascot #fursuit #startrek #TrektoVegas

Still absolutely reeling from today. STLV is always surreal, but wow. I won the cosplay contest? The judges who I admire very much gave the thing I made the highest score? I wasn’t even sure we would make it to finals, let alone win. It’s made better by sharing it with so many great friends.

Someone explain why I get misgendered and my wife gets gendered correctly in the San Francisco area, but in Las Vegas I get gendered correctly and she gets misgendered. I’ve gotten correctly gendered 100% of the time here, which is unheard of at home. But I wanna punch anyone who calls my wife “sir”

I filed to run for school board in my city and qualified for the ballot. There are multiple seats up, and I know a few of the other candidates. Even if I lose, I think the city will come out of this with a much more effective school board, and that’s very comforting.

Hot take: Sources for specialty fabrics, dyes, clays, and other materials shouldn’t be a secret. If you have to keep your materials secret, that just means your work isn’t unique enough on its own, so you need unique/proprietary material to prop it up on.

The Israel group marching in SF Pride felt like they needed their own squad of a dozen bike cops to ride along the route with them. They also kept the word Israel really small on their signage. If you aren’t proud of your country’s actions, and you have to bring cops, maybe just don’t march?

If you have a disgusting cough, you should be denied boarding on an airplane. Subjecting an entire plane to your unmasked pestilence tells me you are an inconsiderate person, and being stuck next to you for 7 hours makes me want to start an actual fight about it.

Yes, it is distinctly a kids show and meant to be an entry into the franchise, but it CONSTANTLY rewards you if you have watched a lot of Star Trek and is basically a Voyager sequel in many ways.
