Regarding the space whale-- this was one of my very favorite #burningman pieces of all time. I love that it found a permanent home, and I love that so much of our non-burnable art turns in to public art.
Here's a picture I took of the space whale in Black Rock City. it's my phone background.

What began as a prominent Burning Man art piece is now an iconic symbol of downtown Reno.#artists #whales #publicart #burningman #art #travelnevadainternal #travelnevadainternal #nevadaartinternal #section-Atlas

this is the zine I was talking about last night about the parallels between COVID and HIV - (warning: sad!) https://medium.com/@sarahmirk/this-is-not-our-first-pandemic-99abec5ba747
@Yoshi because of the casinos, Reno gets some shows and concerts, if that's important to you. There are always things going on in town.
The airport is small but nice. Theresa train station on the Amtrak route between San Francisco/Oakland and Chicago. In a car, it's about 4-5 hours to the Bay area.
There's a small but growing art scene, and alt art scene, as Reno is a staging and build area for Burning Man.
The region is full of natural beauty sitting at the intersection of the Sierra Nevada's and the high desert.
Reno is my backup plan if I ever need to leave Oakland.
We are so lucky to have three awesome comic shops in the Mission neighborhood in #SanFrancisco. Today I dropped off copies of my “Little Book Of Yo-Yo” in all three shops. Each package comes with a transaxle #yoyo, a sticker, and a 24 page comic book I made that teaches the basics of yo-yoing. Stop by Mission Comics, Sour Cherry Comics, and/or Silver Sprocket Comics to grab your copy and support local comic shops.
Bambi Lake was a larger-than-life character, a trans woman who blazed a beautiful chaotic trail across San Francisco. My friend Bucky Sinister is writing a memoir of his friendship with Bambi -- please back it on Kickstarter! <3

On another site, some chud demanded that someone "define a woman" and she replied, "it's a person who covers their drink when they see you in a bar."
Just the perfect response.
"You're a talking sword?"
"I am the legendary sword of ... of ..."
"You forgot?"
"I've spent half a millennium stuck in an anvil in a cave."
"Want to come with me while you think?"
"Sure! If you think you- Oh! Nice. Where are we going?"
"My kid sister is taking over the world."

And now this littler guy. I think I'm going to have a problem.
Today I made this little guy while watching gristly murder shows.
There is so much evil in the world.
Less than yesterday though.
This Saturday! The TRANS NERD MEET UP! It's a chill, friendly gathering for gender-nonconforming folk who like to geek out about whatever.
(Science? Tech? Games? Comics? Fiber arts? Fuzzy animals? Seriously whatever you geek out about, we wanna hear.)
Come hang! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/trans-nerd-meetup-december-2023-tickets-693649162317?aff=oddtdtcreator
Please tell all the trans/nb/gnc nerds in your life! It's a gatekeeping-free zone.

Ok, so I can't frost cakes, but these turned out pretty ok if I call them "rustic."
They're three layers of chocolate tomato cake with ganache in between the layers and a light sweet creamcheese frosting on the outside.
Today is a big beefsgiving prep day for me. I feel behind, but I think I'm actually not?
Once again I have decided to make fiddly individual layer cakes, which take an inordinate amount of time. Why am I like this?
My favorite thing is responding to "I lost weight!" posts with a lot of concern. Are you ok, friend? Did you get sick?
@law_geek I was surprised by how much I loved this one, considering I almost bounced off of it in the first chapter because of the heavy handed i-hate-them-but-they're-so-hot descriptions
