Coffee, birds, hearing, surreal, planes 

In one ear, I cannot hear low frequency sounds. This means that I often struggle to determine which direction such sounds are coming from.

This morning, I was sitting outside drinking coffee (okay, a coconut mocha antoccino) on my balcony and I heard an airplane presumably overhead. I looked up, though, and couldn't see any airplanes, only a bird, and for a moment, my brain decided that these airplane noises must have been coming from this bird.

This tiny, circling, diving and whirling songbird.

What if birds were just really, really, loud? What if they sounded like jet planes?

covid 

damn, it's been more than a year (16th of July) since I had my first registered PCR

also just in general "you cant use queer, queer was a slur!" is confusing because i grew up in the 90s where 'gay' was the slur of the day. i have never once in my life heard 'queer' used as a slur, but gay? oh man. if you heard someone shout GAY on the school yard, a beat down was about to take place.

18-55mm lens arrived and it's in perfect state, 18mm feels veery weird to look through though, because it's so much wider than normal eyes

queer sci-fi light reading suggestions 

@f0x Good luck! <3

if those are too heavy, I also really like the YA fic The Raven Boys, although that series isn't scifi per se. It was really nice reading for when I had loud feelings/low spoons.

@f0x

My current favorite in that niche is probably The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (goodreads.com/book/show/227337) and the corresponding series.

Worth noting is also basically anything by Elizabeth Bear, but I really enjoyed Ancestral Night (goodreads.com/book/show/261597).

There's a MN-local author named Lyda Morehouse that's written a very cool near-future, super cyberpunk-y, theocracy. The first novel is called Archangel protocol (wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/) , and it's a five ish book series with truly stunning worldbuilding. The first book, IIRC, reads a bit like a trashy, straight romance/old-school detective pulp novel, but the latter ones feel pretty dang cool. If you can get through the straightness of book 1, there's some nice vintage (early 2000s) queer delight in here. Lesbian author, later published/re-published by a transwoman editor. Nice people.

For something a little more involved, I highly recommend Ninefox Gambit (goodreads.com/book/show/261184). This series is an absolute delight. I gotta go now, but it's sort of a blend between Korean culture and Texan culture and folks are homosexual by default. It's pretty rad.

so good to have fastcharging usb-c powerbanks now, soooo fast in both charging them and my phone

what if we made it a religious thing that nobody outside family is allowed to see your nose or mouth, so everyone wears masks
