Some of you (particularly in the US) may find yourselves in a fairly chilly situation today & tomorrow thanks to a harsh winter storm.

Here are some cheap hacks to keep your space as warm as possible if the grid crashes:

Spoiler: you’ll need cloth. Sheets, old towels, etc.,

Drapery: tack up a sheet, curtain, or long cloth across every doorway & entrance to a room. if you’ve got a tensor rod you can put in the frame and a way to hook the cloth over that, great. Otherwise, thumbtacks, nails, even a staplegun will get the job done. (cont’d)

If you have limited supplies, pick the room you’ll spend the most time in & put draperies over all its doors and entrances. This helps to seal in what little heat you have, including your own body heat. It cuts down on drafts. (cont’d)

JFC … what fucking panic-inducing drivel is this? Travel Channel has my goddamn number and *this* is the show on vampires they greenlight?!? 🤬

If you never again see me on another episode of any show on any channel connected to these folks you will know this was the last goddamn straw.

I mean, what the fuck is next?

DEMON-HUNTERS: join our crack team of totally-legitimate-demonologists as we hunt witches making pacts in woods with Ol’ Scratch ?!?

Followed by:

WITCH-SLAYERS: They kiss the Devil’s asshole. We investigate by burning them at the stake!

We can all agree the #Briarwoods are hot, right? (Catch #TheLegendofVoxMachina to see what I mean)

Who doesn’t enjoy a good story of #VampireSexyTimes?

On February 14th, indulge yourself as I lean into every steamy trope of vampire romance in my solo RPG, Midnight’s Kiss.

The best part about writing this solo journaling RPG was making it something you tailor completely.

Queer-positive. Trans-positive. Kink-positive. Polyamorous, steamy, ace, whatever body type you please - there’s room for every story in Midnight’s Kiss.

Vampy, romantic fun 💋

Of course, it helps if you like vampires.

Spend your Valentine’s Day with the vampire lover of your dreams.

All you need is the PDF & a few standard dice or equivalent apps to randomize a moments in the story (although room is left to simply choose your preferred outcome) 💋

So, today is #IntersexAwarenessDay.

Intersex people like me are born outside of binary gender. There is a wide range of how that presents, but we are neither male nor female by traditional definitions - down to our very biology.

This is me. Every day of the year. 🏳️‍🌈

@NoxArcana

A side bonus of how I am #intersex involves my voice. It gives me a range a little like Farinelli. I don’t normally brag about that, but a few years ago, together with @NoxArcana, we co-wrote a song designed specifically to show off my four octave range:

A difficult side of being born intersex is the fact that we are still grossly misunderstood. Our natural state is often perceived as a medical anomaly that must be fixed.

This means many of us undergo non-consensual and mutilating surgeries throughout infancy and childhood.

A very curious thing just happened:

Roomie is rearranging their altar. As they go upstairs, I hear them say, “Oh, hello Bliss,” & talk as if the cat is following them upstairs.

However, that specific cat is & has been in the office with me. I have eyes on her …

When roommie comes back downstairs, I ask if they I actually saw Bliss on the stairs. They describe the cat walking upstairs with them.

Bliss is the smallest of our three cats & unmistakable.

We both had eyes on her at the same time in two different parts of the house. 🤷🏻

This is not the first time Bliss has apparently been in two places at once.

However, it is the first time that two people saw her in the exact same moment in different locations.

And, yes, we both are familiar with the cats and would not mistake her.

I have a (former) friend who is law enforcement (OH State Trooper, last I checked).

He was Nat’l Guard, but only because his wife did not want him to go full military.

He often expressed regret at missing his opportunity to freely kill people in “the sandbox.”

THREAD

His primary reason for becoming law enforcement, stated openly multiple times, was to carry a gun & have the chance to use it.

He joked often about being a sociopath.

Our friendship deteriorated the more he leaned into this (I used to think folks could be reasoned with)

Some weird things: he started out a Goth. A Pagan. Was a DJ. Was bisexual.

By the time he had a badge, he was “straight” - wore an honest-to-gods cowboy hat - wore at least one gun at all times in the house - and somehow discovered a Southern accent.
