dream fragment, violence, transness undone
Anyway, that's why I can't fall back asleep this morning.
dream fragment, violence, transness undone
So I faced him down in the middle of this square full of elevators. Managed, somehow, to get him to miss me. Told him he was using the wrong bullets and his gun was going to explode, and he switched to just punching people instead. Somebody with an Australian accent told me it was all fine now, and I should go meet them "at Lake Union" in an hour and a half to get sent back to my world. And then I was all alone and still couldn't find any of my friends.
dream fragment, violence, transness undone
I dreamed there was a guy with a minigun hunting down my friends (and probably me too) and just slaughtering anybody who got in the way. I was human and I think pre transition, and everybody trans I knew had never transitioned, they seemed unaware that it was even something they had wanted, or could do. Horrifying.
I knew it was just a matter of time before he got me, and it'd probably happen with me jumping in front of someone...

the seasonal blahs
Oh right, March is the month where every day expends more energy to get through it than I get allocated for that day. Fourteen spoons a day, thirteen spoons available.
It's better than February moodwise, but it's so exhausting. Luckily I know the secrets - keep moving and don't stop doing things or you can't start again. That, and the other secret, the capacity that lies past exhaustion, past willpower, past determination, and just waits there for you to need it.
I haven't had to tap into that this year, which is good. I remember digging deep into that once to move...

A voice whispered up to the dragon, "Is he cute?"
"Passingly, for a human. Not enough scales for me. Seems fit, not too stupid, courageous at the very least. Has dimples where you like 'em and brown eyes."
There was a long silence and the knight shifted uncomfortably, because of his armor and the scrutiny he was under.
"I'm... also single?" the knight offered.
"Then he can meet me and I'll decide if I want him to rescue me."
"Very well. Knight, there's a door behind the glowing statue."

"O great dragon, I have come to battle you," called the knight.
"For what reason," asked the dragon, perched safely out of reach.
"You hide a prince, I wish to rescue him."
"Let me see your face; remove your helmet."
"Oh, so you can burn it off?"
"I could do that," the dragon purred, "Even if you left your helmet on."
The knight thought on this and then hesitantly removed his helmet, "Is this a test of bravery?"
"Somewhat."
A new fossil bed along the Qingjiang River in China, dating back to the Cambrian era (slightly earlier than the Burgess Shale), has turned out to be a treasure trove. Half the species found there haven't been previously described, and an incredible amount of soft tissue has been preserved, yielding unprecedented detail: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/03/spectacular-trove-of-cambrian-fossils-uncovered-in-china/

The hen had few desires; to grow fat on grubs and grains, to keep eggs warm and to soar through the clouds.
She excelled at the first two, but her flying efforts, though determined, were limited. Still,she managed to reach many of the highest treetops and rocky outcrops, further than the rest of the flock.
During her highest flight, she found a cliffside cave with a nest cradling two cooling eggs. Without hesitation she began to brood.
Rare coastal dragoness, often found by sunny sea cliffs. Nonbinary but fairly femme-leaning. If you're under 18 don't follow.
