uspol, fiona hill 

I wish I had even 1% of the professionalism and integrity that Fiona Hill is showing on the stand today. Total badass.

Listening to this is also instructive in how aggressive sea-lioning and repetition is used by Rs to attempt to control the process. Summarily thanking and dismissing them through their own words is so incredibly effective.

Why did my tiny sad gecko friend turn into an international superspy?

... oh no, they’re hot.

request for trans-friendly press contact in Seattle 

Can anyone in the Seattle area recommend trans-friendly press contacts to talk to? I may have a lead on discrimination by government employees for them to look into.

Not immediate or urgent, but I want to be able to pass these contacts along if they’re needed.

dream log 

It was at this point that, as all dreams do, things went sideways based on snatches of half-remembered popular media. I think a crew was sent to clear the snow and disavow the existence of snow drakes (etc). It morphed into a B movie plot by the time I woke up.

So the first part is definitely better.

dream log 

Dreamed that a rather large ice wyrm had settled in in our forest. It took out a few trees and delighted itself in chasing the local squirrels and mice without harming them, indiscriminately leaving a patchwork of snow and splintered trees in its wake.

We couldn’t figure out what to do about this turn of events. We’d just about run out of ideas when its Mother returned, scooping it up like a mewling cub.

We parlayed with her to bring snow just a little earlier this year. She obliged.

The dragon clung to the high branch, whimpering loudly.

The knights were perplexed; this is not what they had expected when called out to deal with a Dragon Problem. But it explained why they were instructed to bring a sturdy ladder.

Sir Gwen volunteered, removing her armor and climbing up to coax it down.

The rest stretched out a net in case they fell.

She inspired just enough bravery that it climbed down by itself.

The ladder helped.

tiny computer, hamshield mini 

My only complaint about this little ham radio experiment is it looks like what the movies think an explosive device might look like. (It’s just a radio.)

Reposted to mark media sensitive, given that.

Shout out to the house on my bus route that has inflatable yard dragons for every time of the year.

holiday planning 

Instead of hiding it in private posts: if any locals would like to hang out for low-impact things during the holidays, my schedule is looking pretty light this year.

As it turns out, $15 Pokemon card tins make surprisingly good soldering kits.

It’s a lovely afternoon in the hillside, and you are a fine drake.

I'm seeing a few new people cautiously say things like "let's enjoy this place before the bad people get here" and I just want to say:

Don't worry! They're already here! But thanks to the heroic work of your instance moderators and admins, you will never see them. And if they do show up then your mods will get rid of them: unlike Twitter, the reporting functions here are reviewed by real people who don't care about turning a profit, and instead focus on enforcing community guidelines
