I had aspirations when I started this to post regularly, but obviously that’s been a bit spotty so far. Part of it has been a few things ‘stacking up’ in my meatspace life all at the same time, and resulting burnout. I have vacation later this month at least. Another part is that some of […]

There is no spoon
I am working on a post. Just been kinda low on spoons lately.
No blog post tonight
Beyond this, obviously. I had something come up and won’t be able to give you anything decent. While I want to write this regularly to make it a habit, I begrudgingly have to admit I’m not going to be able to give my best today, and I would rather regroup. See you tomorrow. -Arrow
More healthcare woes
Back into this well. A few years ago I was informed I needed a particular medical examination. I went and got it. The local hospital I went to was in-network, and they provided the service, though the doctor was telehealth from another state; essentially the hospital had sub-contracted that function to a different clinic. After […]
Finding Aikine
My first OC that got any serious play that wasn’t a sort of furry wish-fulfillment kind was Kawheek. In 2004, on Avians.net IRC, one channel member wanted to start a D&D campaign. We got four people together, and everyone wanted to play birds. Instead of using the aarakocra, which at the time were wing-arm birds, […]
Let’s commit some nerd heresy
So while I don’t do it often anymore, I used to go to the movies a lot. I have a relatively good suspension of disbelief. My dad used to show us Star Wars on tape when I was a kid; it was a recorded copy, and at some point we gave him a set of […]
An ounce of prevention…
So one thing I wanted to do with this blog is compile thoughts about current events some. I live in the United States, and I’ve been politically active for…well, a long time. The current situation has been a bit rough on my psyche, and I’m having to talk about it a lot, because once you […]
My brain has too many tabs open
Seriously. Now that I’m getting down to business, after years of NOT creating, there’s a wellspring of ideas and just not enough time to focus on them. I haven’t played any video games for my own enjoyment since early March. At the time, I stopped to be able to cram for an IT certification I […]
Creation isn’t just for deities
I think we all know I punted yesterday. Let’s do a little more of a deep dive today. And I promise I’ll get to a politics thing sometime this week. Got a few topics lined up, just need time to write them all. I’ve been writing and story crafting a long time. When I was […]
Stop saying cannibalism
Chickens are from Superorder Galloanserae, which split off from Neognathae 85 million years ago. Hawks are part of “Neoaves”, an entirely different superorder that split from Neognathae around the time of K-T extinction event. While it’s theorized that the first placental mammals divered about 100-85 MYA, there are no known placental mammal fossils from before […]
