Fish scientist by day; local theater performer, novel writer, knitter, audio drama voice actor, and hula dancer by night. No wonder I'm so exhausted. She/her.

Image with the caption above - "My sexual orientation is: the cast of 'The Mummy' (1999)" And underneath is a mosaic of character photos of Patricia Velásquez as Anck-su-namun, Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay, Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep, Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan, Brendan Fraser as Rick O'Connell And they are all hot as hell.

Image of a Maya Kern "Cathedral" skirt - black background with stained glass panels. At the top the panels are blue, turquoise and purple, and at the bottom the arches panels show scenes of the ocean with a crescent moon, or a landscape and stars.
Image of a woman from waist to knees, modeling a skirt. It's black with orange and pink griffins, dragons, weapons and treasure on it. She's pulling a Nintendo Switch out of the pocket.
A selfie of me from the shoulders up. I'm pale complexioned, with brown-blonde hair pulled back and in a vaguely 40's style, and am wearing half rim glasses. I have a facinator style hat on with white tulle covering part of my face, matching pearl-and-ruby earrings and necklace, and a red dress with a deep neckline.
Screencap of the quote: Granny Weatherwax was often angry. She considered it one of her strong points. Genuine anger was one of the world's greatest creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn't mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge. Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches, #2)
Image of a text convo. Person 1: "Tree came down east of [redacted]. I was 5th car back. Bunch of us got out and 3 guys had chainsaws. We cleared it in about 20 minutes. Got soaked... but got back on the road. lol" Person 2: It wouldn't be Oregon if 3 out of 5 cars weren't carrying chainsaws 😂 I might be one of them myself if I hadn't been a coward and had bid on that mini chainsaw at the Christmas party!!
A white and brindle greyhound laying in an orange overstuffed chair. He's looking a bit away from the camera, and his tongue is hanging out of the right side of his mouth.
A dark brindle greyhound in a fenced field, photographed from the back. She's in mid-gallop with her head up. If you think greyhounds are graceful, this picture really isn't good evidence to support that
Bottom view of a small white plush goose with a rainbow ribbon around it's neck. I'm one of his little printed-on feet he is clutching a printed on knife.
A small white plush goose with a rainbow bow sits tucked under the wing of a larger black crow plush. The crow has big wide eyes and little stick like feet.
A mostly white greyhound with some dark brindle patches lays curled up on his side on his big red bed. His head is tucked close to his chest, his tongue sticking out. His back legs are aimed straight up his body toward his head, reaching past his ears a bit. His front legs are crooked around each other. He looks like a complicated potato.
Image of an instagram comment on Nanowrimo's post. It reads "I didn't just have my comment removed over on Facebook, but I was completely *banned* from the page. It wasn't even an option on anything, I simply responded to someone else who was asking if comments were disappearing. I said that I had seen comments earlier that no longer existed now. Just an observation. And my comment was deleted and I was fully banned. I'm a 21-year participant, 20-year ML, and regular donor. Believe me, my life every fall for the past two decades has revolved around Nano. And now, I'm just heartbroken."
Standard set of polyhedral dice sit on a printed sheet of paper. The dice are clear with blue numbers, and have orange fish embedded in them. The paper is lined with columns for age data. In the background is a blue tray with 100 slots for samples sitting on a holder.

A white greyhound with brown brindle patches curled up in a reddish armchair he has a funny expression and his long legs are sticking out at confused and tangled angles. He's perfectly comfortable but looks like he's been assembled wrong.
