Aliens and UAPs, part 2
Ahead of the National Security Subcommittee hearing about UAPs this morning and beyond part 1, I wanted to share even more of my thoughts and feelings. I’ve made quite a few assumptions about both aliens and the situation to get through part 1 (which is also why I made a part 0), and I want…
Aliens and UAPs, part 1
Ahead of the National Security Subcommittee hearing about UAPs this morning, I wanted to share some of my thoughts and feelings. No one asked, but that’s not why I’m doing this—think of this like a dated letter to myself to see if I had any correct intuitions about what in the hell is going on…
Aliens and UAPs, part 0
Here’s a part 0 to this post. Are aliens out there? Probably yeah, but maybe not. Looking at the origins of life on Earth, I’m on the side of abiogenesis. I think the building blocks of life formed from something like a bowl of hot soup, and then metabolism just happened to follow. Because there…
Redefining gender
What is gender? What is a gender? Noun gender (plural genders) One who gends. Okay, so, that wasn’t terribly helpful. What does it mean to gend? Verb gend (third-person singular simple present gends, present participle gending, simple past and past participle gended) (transitive) To identify with and/or behave in accordance with, and thereby in turn shape,…
I’m (not) pro-therapy
I’m anti-anti-therapy. So, I’m basically pro-therapy, and the title was basically clickbait. Why am I making this distinction? I’ve seemed to have turned some people off in my past because of how much I recommend trying therapy. I’ve had good experiences with therapy. That being said, I acknowledge that many people haven’t, and I also acknowledge that being…
It’s a life update! 6
[This is an old blog post that I wrote at the end of April 2022, but I gotta just get it out there.] In my last update, I was all like, oh yeah, I’ll totally post a conlang update soon. So, as you can see, I definitely did not do that. I was working on…
Abortion, life, politics, protesting
Right to be free of a parasite I don’t have a uterus, but I do like to share my feelings. I’m furious and afraid. Imagine sitting in a Discord voice call, playing Fortnite, and learning about the leaked draft that shows the Supreme Court’s intention to overturn Roe v. Wade. Just a bit surreal. Not…
It’s a life update! 5
And here I thought that the time between 2020’s end of October report and my catching up report at the beginning of the year was a long time to go without a blog post. So much has happened in the past year. We found out that my partner was going to need surgery for the…
Catching up report
My last post was the end of October report, which feels like it was forever ago. Since then, I’ve added five more things to my itch.io, the US presidential election happened, the holidays came and went, my partner had to get four MRIs, the MRIs found a non-cancerous brain tumor, she had to get a…
Persona 4 Golden was a letdown, but Over Arms may not be
As I’ve been recovering from my surgery, I’ve been playing Persona 4 Golden (as well as some Among Us, which has been fun)—I was really excited when it came to Steam as I thought it would be a good opportunity to play a game that seemed perfect for me that I missed out on as a kid. Well,…
