In Which I Remind Myself I'm Important And Don't Owe Anyone Shit
I’m not going to lie, I’ve been running myself ragged lately. Sometimes it’s like, I don’t know how to not, you know? I don’t know what a healthy balance is, and when the bulk of my work is creative it blurs the lines between shit I do for me and shit I do for other…

Dreams
I had a dream last night, and in that dream I spent a lot of time with my closest-in-age sister doing chores. She’d taken up the slack for me since I was gone and had figured out how to do all the dishes and things required for keeping a house full of 8 people clean.…

Theme Change Makes Me Feel More Bloggy
All I’ve wanted to do all week is work on a variety of programming projects, and as a result I haven’t touched any of them, and I’m too tired right now to start (3am != programming start time). Anyway, the couple that are vying for attention right now are my Ruby on Rails + Comic…

Adventures in Minimalism
We’re sort of slowly getting ready to move across the country in the spring, and so I’ve been trying to get rid of things – extra clothes, furniture, etc, that I’m not using/don’t need…nothing weird (except for maybe having been planning this move all year). I’ve been thinking about how nice it feels to have…

Cryptic nuggets
I should do so many things. I should write more about sexism and gaming. I should make that ruby app I’ve been planning. I should reboot KieryGeek. I should be better at marketing my patreons. I should be brave and find my voice and use it. I should be more friendly. I should not feel…

And then there was that time
When I was barely 14, struggling to grasp algebra or pre-algebra and my mom lost her shit and threw the book at me in a screaming tirade. Math has always been a sore spot, involving many many tears, but none so terrifying as that day. It was a heavy textbook. It wasn’t saxon, but it…
