FYI: This journal may vanish without notice; this is outside my control.

I have an account at DW, also as redbird. As of 4 April 2017, that is a better place to find me/my writing. I may still cross-post some entries from there, but not all.

I'm an editor, copy editor, and proofreader, working on a variety of nonfiction, including math, political science, and computing. cI may not be able to avoid noticing typos, but I will try not to comment on them unless you ask or unless I genuinely can't tell what you meant to say.

I once borrowed a cupful of the Elephant Child's 'satiable curtiosity, and he shows no signs of needing it back. I'm delighted by all the colors the sky is on this planet.

I'm bisexual and polyamorous, and have three wonderful partners. I live in Massachusetts, with cattitude and near adrian_turtle (hurray!) and visit my other partner semi-regularly; long-distance works for us, but so far I like living ten minutes instead of several hours from Adrian. My valency appears to be full, happily so.

More information about me can be gleaned by reading my journal entries. If confused, ask; I'll probably answer.

AVISO

La via del tren subterraneo es peligrosa. Si el tren se para entre las estaciones, quedese adentro. No salga afuera. Siga las instrucciones de los operadores del tren o de la policia.



People talk about planning ahead, but when it becomes cannibalizing your actual present self for the sake of vague future possibilities, it's time to stop and plan for here and now. Don't wear yourself out so badly that there's nobody left to have that future.


Disclaimers: I am not a lawyer, so don't take anything I post as legal advice. (If I were a lawyer, there'd be other constraints on what advice I could give.) This is my personal journal, not a public accommodation.

This universe is sold by mass, not volume. Some expansion may have occurred during shipping.






Most of my userpics are either pictures of me, or specifically made by or for me. Please don't grab those. A few are specifically labeled as "please don't take" because they're less obvious, or because people have asked about them. A few others are specifically labeled as shareable. If in doubt, please ask.
