Kestrel Casey

Okay, my follower count and mix on here is now such that I need to say this: If you know me in real life, no you don't. If you saw me at a place I can routinely be found, no you didn't. Thank you for understanding.

One of the author spambots finally made it through my attempts to obfuscate my contact information. However, that is not my name, and that is not one of my books.

Good news! Bluesky fixed their SWERF move.

Someone came by my table today, read this sign, and said "Well now I know who not to buy from!" Lol. Lmao. Jolly good, off you fuck!

Good Day everyone. It has been a while since I have been on here. I wanted to share the #photo I got of an American Kestrel in my neighborhood with the nearly full #Moon in the background. Other photos at ScottWGonzalez.com DM for prints #birds #falcon #EastCoastKin #Art

I would love for us to coalesce around a NaNo replacement community, but obviously this ain't it. I don't know what this is, except "not it." Will dig in on it later.

Wait...I've definitely seen or can imagine most of these, but what is the alternative to "brass tacks"

There's an xkcd for everything, but especially this.

I think it's possible that a certain density of capos within a household, say 5 or 10, automatically spawns in some kind of Capo Gremlin who eats them. Or stashes them away like a squirrel hiding nuts for winter.

I love the human equivalent of a sleeper car. Someone unassuming who just turns around and knocks your socks off. The old guy in flannel who shuffles up at karaoke and slays Sinatra. The bouncer who casually contributes some insightful theory of mind shit to your half-drunk conversation. Love it.

I do this one. I have no explanation for this.

At some point in this campaign, I started referring to recurring honk & wave events as "The Honk." As in "I'll see you at the Honk." I'm afraid this may never work itself back out of my vocabulary.

Throw them in the pile with the three-year cycles of "When did Green Day get all political"

Every time I see someone death drop, I think "Drag should be an event in the X Games."

I did something unusual at karaoke tonight (sang some Jewel) and I kinda killed it but also may have shot my voice. That woman is a beautiful beast and I will fight anyone who disagrees. Guitar! Yodeling! She has superpowers.

Love it when I do something responsible like taking out the trash and am rewarded with the chance to pet a dog.

You know, I use a cane because it helps me stay upright and all that, but it's amazing how useful it is sometimes just to *have a stick.* Can't reach something? Stick. Object gross and you don't want to touch it? Stick. Need to smack someone and make it look like an accident? Stick.

I don't have "anxiety," you bot-peddling buffoon. I just hate you.

This Michael's is demonstrating blatant disrespect for screenprinters. (The employee I asked about it was really nice and says they're working on it.)

There are many reasons the state should not kill people. The fact that they can so horrifyingly fuck it up does not even top the list. But if that's enough to set people against it, then I guess let's make this the biggest fucking news story of the hour. This should never have happened.

This is not an optical illusion, it's a test of whether or not you know what a kookaburra looks like.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Feminize a band name: Arctic Pussies

My haul from the punk flea market

You know what I really hate? When my friends don't have health insurance. Especially when the situation is "I could come get you and bring you to a doctor but we're not going to do that because bankrupcy." I can always scrape up some food or gas or clothes, but not high-level health care.

Somewhat tempted to set my browser to replace the word "AI" with "slop," but I'm not sure it would be good for my mental health to read "How Slop is Destroying the Job Market" or "Slop Linked to Psychosis"

In light of the current apocalypse, I propose we bring back filk music. That is not a typo.

Very nearly started sorting my movies by genre today, but was once again foiled by "What defines a musical? Is Drumline a musical? Is Suckerpunch? WHAT IS A MUSICAL?"

Just got followed by some ai account where nobody even bother to fact-check how pizza works.

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

If I made a shirt that said "Vote your hearts or die," would that be: A: An audience-friendly natural extension of my politics and subculture, or B: Eyeroll-inducing high high hopes bullshit
