Keto break... Some thoughts
Stuart and I have been eating a ketogenic diet for a month now, and this weekend we had a wedding to attend in Adelaide which provided the perfect opportunity to take a break and assess how we felt about it ( Read more... ) -
Survey development
I'm developing a survey that is designed to ask writers about their experience in researching and incorporating medicine into their stories. It's for both fan-fiction and fiction authors in SF/F/H ( Read more... ) -
Day 1, of 100.
So I said, on facebook, that I was going to try for an internet-free life, for a while. With a bunch of caveats. The biggest caveat being that I can't really have an internet-free life because I'm a web-monkey by trade. But I can at least focus on the things which matter to me, online. Those being: Writing, contributing, connecting ( Read more... ) -
About 'cup guy'
One of the nicer aspects of working in Redfern/Darlington is that it gives me the opportunity to interact with members of the Aboriginal community on a regular basis. It's honestly something that I have had little chance to do, even though I care about recognition, reconciliation and self-determination issues.

At 5am

Weird dream.
I have a recurring dream, of the sort that might not actually be recurring, because I woke up this morning thinking I'd had the dream before, several times, and I appear to have memories of having it before, but ... it's a bit hard to tell with dreams ( Read more... ) -
It's all too common
[trigger warning for sexual assault/touching]
Back when I was in high school, David Polini stood behind me during a chemistry demonstration. Very close. For a moment, I was thinking "quit pushing me". But he kept pushing me. Pushing himself into my butt. And then the slow creeping realisation hit me. Oh my god. That's his penis. Why is he pressing ( Read more... )
