List five topics you could talk about for an hour without prepping any material. (No one tagged me, I just saw this and wanted to.)

Equine foot management, catastrophic injuries, and laminitis. I can throw in club feet and foal deformities for fun. There will be drawings. I will do a lot of yelling.

Parking structure design and technology. My friends are known to send me photos of parking structures. Once, on a romantic getaway once with Real Life Romance Option, I dragged him to three different parking structures. Including one at 9pm because it had a cool glass spider on the facade that was lit at night.

Mass Effect, any aspect, but inevitably there will be a focus on the individual identities of all 3 games, misogyny, the different lenses through which people who played at launch vs. today view the trilogy, the Mako and the power of the UNC worlds in Mass Effect 1, and of course, the ending. If you ask a question about Andromeda you will have regrets because this just became two hours and Real Life Romance Option is on his upteenth AND ANOTHER THING because about 8 seconds into the infodump he joined in.

The Kentucky Derby/Triple Crown, which will most assuredly involve me lauding my namesake, insisting Nashua is a hack, and reciting Secretariat's Belmont race call. Also pretty guaranteed I will wander into horse racing at large and cry a lot about Serena's Song and Rachel Alexandra. Don't ask me about Barbaro unless you want this to be a double feature with #1.

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation. I literally talked to my folks about this impromptu for an hour yesterday. I have spreadsheets. And I am actually making a power point on the subject right now. The first slide header says, "Swaps, why is there a power point." Top answer is, "because it's fun."

Please feel free to share yours. :D

The anti in your inbox arguing that some stuff Japanese people write is illegal somewhere, therefore it is bad made me chuckle. It's illegal in my home state of Kentucky (the most cursed US state except Florida) to speak, hum, sing, skip, jog or dance if trans, because that is, legally speaking, grooming.

So if legality determines morality, does that mean speaking to you as I'm doing right now is bad? The anon said to check your local laws, after all. Not to think about them, not to ask if the law is based in logic, not to question what the reason behind the law is, not to ever go, "does fiction cause people to suddenly lose control of themselves and rape a child or is a grown ass adult to blame for the rape they committed?" or "does a trans person humming near a child turn them trans or is someone's gender unaffected by humming, given cis people hum near children regularly without turning them cis?"

Are you queer, anon? It's illegal in my dad's home country for queers to speak in the presence of unaccompanied minors, since that's a form of sexually soliciting the child there. That would include this blog. As we are to assume laws are always just and correct, then either you should adhere to that law if you were not a pedophile, which you didn't, or speak and thus prove you are one, which you did.

I fucking hate antis. They're so married to this idea that in the civilized world all the right things are banned that even though there's 491 proposed anti-queer laws in the US and that doesn't include ones that passed, they just keep repeating, "Legal good. Illegal bad."

It's legal to marry and fuck a child in many US states. It is illegal in many US states to own sex toys or have anal sex. By this logic, fucking a child is better than being queer, as it's more legal in some places.

I'm so tired. Antis, does it ever occur to you even once that jackasses can make laws and therefore laws shouldn't be trusted without hesitation or thought?

Each day I find new reasons to want Hobie Brown from Across The Spider-Verse to be real and this is one of them. Antis won't listen to "old" people like my 22 year old ass but Hobie is cis, young and hot. He could get through to them. Wherefore art thou, Spider-Punk?

What! The! [Fifty Percent Off]!?

[alliswyattonthewesternfront]

our next gig isn't until the end of July, but i'm likely gonna shit out a design for a trip to Kentucky next month. i want to test out making another character who is wingless (fairy wings are a nightmare for me personally) but still eye-catching. also, having 2 characters would mean not having to frantically spray down my costume with vodka and dry it by hand after a rain day so that i can wear it without gagging out patrons.

i'm making a tunic version of my click-clack skirt and testing it out with some linen pants i purchased. if i like the silhouette, i'll buy another pair and embroider/distress them so it fits the aesthetic. i try and buy as little as possible, but i think if i sufficiently make it my own, it should work. i'm designing a cranberry elf: specifically, the siberian swamp cranberry. i'm toying with the name Asterid since that's the clade for that particular variant. gonna use some of my red japanese wind chime bells to make cranberry jewelry, embellish some jester shoes i bought off a friend, and mix a bunch of spider charms in with my wooden beads in the skirt. and i think i'll braid a cranberry strand into my rat tail.

the tricky part will be body language. i make Oro super delicate and high femme, kind of a "i'm in denial about being an orc, i'm one of the fairies tee hee" type of deal. kids love it. i'd want this character to have much more dramatic body language and a brusque way of speaking. think clockwork toy. anyway, doing a dry run as a patron at a neighboring faire takes the pressure off. will post costuming progress pics as i go along, per usual

[goatsmell]

From the Kids Menu

“That bald bastard Charlie Brown Has alopecia, don’t you know?” I tell the spider plant nodding At the dark past the window

I feel delicate lately My usual hide is thin In too many places My patience is short With darn near everything Sharpening up on shit That don’t work right

I eat very little I tire quickly My back hurts My thumbs hurt When I type, so I’ve taken up moaning But I need more consonants Than vowels these days

Brother, could You spare some change?

I should’ve had something Other than corn chips for dinner With salsa and sour cream Dipped in honey at the end But that’s the way we likes it That’s how we finish the dance

I’ll see you again in bright morn In a crap roughly the size of Kentucky Launching into life after an espresso Coaxes out my brown baby baguette A nuclear submarine easing into Police action into the Baltic Sea

This is Our maiden voyage, my friends We will Make our nations proud

Six-spotted Tiger Beetle (Cicindela sexguttata)

Distribution: Found in the northeastern USA and southern Canada; north to Ontario, west to Minnesota and as far south as Kentucky.

Habitat: Mainly found in deciduous forests, but also in sunny areas like dirt paths, sidewalks and roads, fields, grassy areas and on decaying logs (but rarely far from wooded areas).

Diet: Adults and larvae are both carnivorous, feeding on insects and other invertebrates, such as caterpillars, ants and spiders.

Description: Despite being called the six-spotted tiger beetle, the spots on thus tiger's elytra may vary between zero to eight spots. They also have remarkably long legs, allowing them to run at high speeds—they're so fast, in fact, that their eyes have trouble processing fast enough to keep up, meaning they can't run more than short spurts without being blinded. As expected by their speed, adults are active predators—the grub-like larvae, however, are ambush predators, burrowing into patches of sandy substrate and lunging out at their prey when it comes near. In order to avoid being dragged out of their burrow, larvae also have hooks on their abdomen, allowing them to hang onto the substrate.

These beetles are rather long-lived, usually living around three or four years. In order to survive the cold winters, adults overwinter in the same burrows they used as larvae. They're also mostly harmless—though the adult has large, threatening mandibles and is an aggressive predator, it will not bite unless handled.
