There is still beauty in this world

I have an idea. Both for an analog horror series, and a LARP based on Analog Horror. Potentially tied together.

Jackass. How dare people need food. 🙄 Sorry you had to deal with that nonsense.

I was literally just talking about how rejection sensitive dysphoria is one reason why I think I’m not desirable as a partner. Then, boom! I get suspended on an FB group for saying something wrong that I could have phrased better and now I’m spiraling.

Yay.🙃

Also the horror magical girl story and an urban fantasy romance with angels.

So, right now, my writing projects are:
—rules for four LARPs (super heroic, dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic and weird west)
—A steampunk/gaslight fantasy queer romance
—fairytale romantasy series of series
—and a currently paused weird west YA novel series

On another project, it turns out by locking down what I call the “Three Influences”, I finally have a route for my horror story project.

Stranger Things meets Hellraiser, by way of Sailor Moon

Sloooooowly, the muse is returning. I’m interested to see where this story goes at this point. But I know this is where the cat turns up.

david lynch ❤️

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful tribute.

Brain Fog?

I did!

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I’m okay. At least, they didn’t find anything.

Is it a bad sign if I’m lightheaded, my vision is blurry and I feel weak and have not quite fainting spells? I don’t want to have to go to the ER, so I’m really hoping that proper sleep resolves this.

Huh. Apparently, with the correct preparation, one can eat tulip bulbs. The organic ones. The other kind have been treated with pesticides.

Food for thought. Pun intended.

Stressed out with a baby in the hospital is no way to write a novel, kid.

It’s me. I’m kid.

I’m exhausted. And I haven’t done much of anything. Fingers crossed my brain works enough after work to write.

My gender is now eldritch. As it should be. I identify as a threat and an affront to God, an affliction for the comfortable and a comfort to the afflicted.

For the sake of expediency, demifemme will do.

Next time someone says that racism is dead…

It’s a tossup between Pumaman and Outlaw (of Gor). The two have a strange charm despite being films I would otherwise avoid and the jokes are still funny. I’m also fond of Samson vs The Vampire Women, though some of those riffs fall a little flat these days.

And lastly, shaming people for any perceived break from normalcy never works. You either hurt people into being ill-adjusted or make them even less normative (the latter is the best kind imho). (5/?)
