Queer SF writer / Girl techno DJ / thing builder / music botherer / femme unix top. she/her/root. Acceptable collateral damage. BFS award winner, weirdly enough. Bollocks to LLMs and their apologists.

A cup and saucer on a tiny outdoor shelf, underneath an equally tiny pitched roof. A roadside shrine to a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
A selection of old (60s/70s) NASA research notes.
A gothics. I'm going to assume yer man out of The Mish?
Lukewarm water. (Derek Smalls out of The Tap, innit)
Old man, shouting at clouds.
Rollins, enacting an oil painting which I have currently forgotten.
More rock malarkey. Someone has just remembered they left the gas on. Crikey!
A musical concert of the loud and outdoors variety, perhaps?
I dunno. Lemmy making sure the oxy kit is running right before doing the sills on a Mini van?
Nice jumper, mind. Still no idea who this rock & roll type may be.
Still no idea. Sorry. Or Iain Banks had a side gig as a bassist. Who can say?
Anthrax, right?
Nope, sorry. Not a clue. Persons of the metal persuasion, no doubt.
Yer man out of Maiden? I dunno, I was listening to Tackhead then.
I have absolutely no idea who these people may be.
Poison Ivy, giving it an amount of side-eye.
Cindy Lauper? Chicago, etc, as before
Ian McCulloch / Echo & The Bunnymen. Chicago, probably, 1987
A flyer from 'the transmedia foundation' probably circa 1994. I'm going to hope for some OCR for the text, but the tagline is 'Nothing short of a total gender' which, uh, if you say so.

A bumblebee, nose-first into a flower. She's been a bit busy and is loaded with pollen.
A peacock showing off in a scruffy but sunlit Welsh farmyard.
A fake 70s Panther SF paperback cover. The alleged author is 'Humbrol Q. Insecticide' and the title of the alleged book is 'Nude alien totty having sex with machinery'. I dunno if that's a real Foss, mind.
A Gaymer's cider advert from the fifties. In part it reads 'Gayflag if you prefer it sweet. Gaysec if you prefer it dry. Olde English special quality. Obtainable from your usual supplier.'
The bottom shelf of an IKEA bookcase. There are two stacks of books. On one side there's a bound set of a SANS 'Hacker techniques' course, a Bernd & Hilla Becher book, and Jeff Vandermeer's Wonderbook. On the other are notebooks. Lots of notebooks. On further inspection you might find that the majority of them are filled with stories and notes for same.
A screenshot of my notifications. It is a set of cambot followers, they all have mild variations on the same userpic.
A screencap of Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw from Black Doves. They're in a bronze BMW, driving away from the scene of what turned into a messy encounter with a pair of gunsels.
A DR-110 drum machine on my bench in front of a set of screwdrivers and my SGI keyboard. I do not yet know if I can repair it.
The contents of the window display from the surplus catering equipment shop down the road. There are stacks of plates front and centre, and the thing we care about most is the stack of oversize red cups & saucers with almost Clarice Cliff angular handles. There's also an Anthora cup in the background, which for suburban Bristol is a bit of a find. I hope the dude who runs it opens tomorrow, because I will be there like Fry, waving cash.
A three panel image macro: 'My kink is when people care about my feelings and what I have to say.' 'Unrealistic.' 'Settle for bondage like the rest of us..'
An empty, save for a few crumbs, black pebble pattern side plate. In front of a Pioneer DJ controller because I am a pretentious cow.
A gluten free chocolate cake. It's had one slice cut out to show the icing and that it's not sludge or poison in the middle. The slice sits on a Poole black pebble side plate, while the cake is on a Pyrex Chelsea pattern dinner plate.
A handmade wooden sign reading 'free pron'. As found on the terrain at WTH2005.
A crime scene measure, evidence bag, and friendship bracelet that reads 'hack the planet'.
The post-its attached under my monitor. They read 'Trans liberation now' (that's really a sticker), 'Cash from chaos' (advice from a former braincare specialist), a drawing of a cheerful and square-faced robot of the wind-up variety, 'the Japanese clocks in Snowshill Manor provide a useful time-capacitor' (notes for an as yet unfinished novel), and 'save yourself for art' (the requirement for such advice is the reason for the unwritten nature of the previously referenced novel)
The workroom. Contains OSX kit, IBM & SGI k/bs, Korg, Casio & Quasimidi synths, microcontrollers, Polish surplus blankets, and the Flag of The Resistance.
A Compukit UK-101 single board 6502-based computer. It still lives in the cardboard box the kit of bits came in, because I was a skint child.
A Christmas cactus, giving it what-for.
A suburban air-raid shelter in Bristol.
A gluten free sponge cake on a Chelsea pattern pyrex plate.
A sticker encrusted MacBook. They're mostly EMF/CCC/Hxx examples, plus a set from Hotrod magazine.
Sunset over East Bristol, earlier in the year.
A selfie. Yr subject has excellent ink and brows, and is staring at the camera like someone seeing themselves properly for the first time..
Some random trans bird showing off a sleeve tattoo. It starts on the shoulder as a CCC logo and mutates into watercolour flowers. Because.
A sticker on a lamppost, which reads 'queer anti-fascists' in English and Welsh. Instead of the usual pair of flags, there are stylised heels.
A very random trans woman in period costume. (A Dane top from, like, 1998)
Some very random trans bird's collarbone, and a hint of boob. If that's a thing for you, then you're looking in wrong place on here, frankly. Upon that is a watercolour tattoo, featuring the trans symbol overlaid on a stylised sputnik.
