found object, poetry
highly elegiac poem printed on a poster stapled to a pole in Shoreline:
Reward If Found
Lost Boy, Lost Dog, Lost Bike, Lost Cat
Every corner stapled
To keep the paper flat
This splintered old pole has tasted
Scraps of hope
Efforts wasted
Never has it learned
Of vanished things being returned
A final sun-faded flake falls without pity
On the cement footprints of a long gone kitty
Air eats away at the rusty tack
Always remember
Somebody wanted you back

i picked up 3d modeling again sometime around the new year. i finally got a model i've been working on for weeks to a semi-finished (but untextured and not well lit) state. then i took it into photoshop and made hard-sf stoner art. i guess this is pretty on brand for me. hope y'all are well and safe.
i was in all honesty having kind of a crap mood day, but then one of my coworkers gave me one of @rory 's awesome nonbinary OSM stickers, which mysteriously found its way to Cascadia
thanks so much for designing these, Rory! (you can find the whole set at https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/%E1%9A%9B%E1%9A%8F%E1%9A%92%E1%9A%90%E1%9A%94%E1%9A%8F%E1%9A%94%E1%9A%8B%E1%9A%9C%20%F0%9F%8F%B3%EF%B8%8F%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%8C%88/diary/390615 )

i'm a 40something nonbinary person who works in the lower rungs of the tech industry. i spend most of my free time on left politics, moving between the poles of broadly marxist-leninist and broadly anarchist organizing work happening in my town. this can be awkward.
my hobbies include baking, shooting, literary science fiction, the furry fandom and anxiety.
i took a DNA test, turns out i'll 100% be making bad jokes as the poisoned Pacific rises to swallow all i love.
