Mori: Blessings on whoever scanned a 1947 copy of the lesbian magazine Vice Versa #7 online; it meant I was able to read this fun little short story about a woman who oh noes, is torn between Pat, the butchest of butches, and Flora the femmest of femmes! Whatever is a poor Kiki to do?

Thought other folks might enjoy this. So here ya go! (Sorry, don't think it's screenreadable; I can textually transcribe it if folks want?)

(I of course only found out about this thing courtesy of a bibliography of queer speculative fiction at the sci-fi library. WE'RE BACK, BABY!)

I think we're all kind of reevaluating who are villains and who are heroes. And being part of the establishment doesn't feel quite as heroic as it did 60 years ago, 20 years ago, not even EIGHT years ago! -- Deniz Camp

Why this piece is awesome: I'm a sucker for a dog, and this one has three heads to pat! Nice contrast between the underworld denizens being grayscale and the meadow in colour.
Link: Canaeus and Photis (not sure what the point of the YT video is - it's a music track, maybe for atmosphere? Anyway, I'm just reccing the Caeneus pic)

1. What item would you be embarrassed for people to know you own?
I thought about this for a while, and I think it'd be something like how I own a Cintiq I've only ever used twice, things like that: expensive things bought with good intentions and never used. I am much more "but will it actually be USED" these days, and tend not to buy, in general.

2. What is something you splurged on just for you?
I bought a rock tumbler last year! And I also bought a long (manual) lens for my camera last year. Both are being used!

3. What is something that you own with no real world value that is priceless to you?
Probably photographs, that kind of thing. Lots of recordings of family and friends.

4. Do you collect anything?
Rocks? They aren't even valuable or notable rocks, I just like rocks. They appeal to the gremlin within.

5. What item belonging to a friend/family member do you covet?
I don't think I've been coveting in a long time. I don't have a lot of family or friend visiting, to be fair, living far away from everyone. I don't really know what they have! I will say, I wish I could have kept my mom's desk that we got rid of when we cleaned out my dad's place as it was huge and oak and a beast, but it would have been a huge hassle (& would have continued to be a hassle as we move back and forth across Canada).

Speaking of splurges, got Sunny some allergen-free treats. 22$ a bag!!!



& while we're splurging, this ice cream is excellent:

Every Time We Move

This is a post about the Kafka-esque process of moving while living legally disabled in Massachusetts.

Every time we move, we have to update our address, not just with our bank and phone people, but also the myriad social services agencies who control our existence. Since we have to move every few months to few years, depending on our housing luck, this is a cyclical, regular occurrence. We have streamlined our procedure over the course of a decade plus, studying the augurs of obscure bureaucratic paperwork errors, reading the signs in the entrails of the bald eagle.

Of course, the exact procedure changes every few years, and there is no way to find out except by accident or error.

Please put on a recording of Yakety Sax or the Gonk for the proper emotional effect of this post. Thank you. )
