Pardon the mess, I'm still wrangling this theme into my preferred form.
# Open letter to my state legislators, re: PSE & the storm
Waking up after the November 2024 windstorm to find the power being on didn’t seem like a luxury at first, but as the days wore on, I got angrier and angrier at PSE’s lagging estimates and missed times. My friends have had to pitch the entire contents of their fridges, a week before Thanksgiving, because of PSE’s poor maintenance.# Suddenly, Dinner!
A friend was in town for training for a few weeks, so I invited him over for brunch. Well, maybe, brunch, and then a trip to Pike Place Market. Maybe with a dispensary run on the way home. Well… dinner’s happening, too, and you’re invited. He was feeling really down the night before, because the part of town he ended up in for training is super tedious to get into and out of.# Have some shame, NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo decided to come out swinging against critics of AI in creative processes. They seem to have forgotten that the community is full of people used to making arguments.# Sine die update: jockstraps and all
Washington’s 2023-24 Biennial session ended, and we saw some significant movement on important queer topics.# The web I want is rough around the edges
A bulletin board post about the uptime of an SDF Mastodon instance made me think about what reliability means; what uptime means; and when it’s a good idea to just take a break, log off, and go outside.# An open letter to the WSLCB
I wrote a letter to the WSLCB rules coordinator about why the commission should repeal their lewd conduct rule! I decided I also wanted to share it here, with a call to action as well.# Sexuality and Community
After a week of chaos brought about by the WSLCB & SPD raiding gay bars, we need to talk about what constitutes valid or invalid enforcement, and how expectations differ between cultures.# Solstice update
As is tradition, at the winter holidays I set aside time for me, and my personal projects. Like this website, which fell over when the SDF updated something and my old web content just disappeared into the ether.
# startup … initializing
Maybe “ignition” would be a good title, too. I put this site up with a broken, half-baked theme and a few pages of recipes, all because I wanted to have some place to stash them and hand links to my friends. So here it was, in its grimy state. Well, I’ve had some time to put some pieces in order, and now I think the site’s really coming into its own.
