Music and static poetry
Music, Things and poetry news. Musical challenge complete! I have written a love song to a baked good, or more precisely a Lament for Pie.

I love Casanova and its nice to know others…

At a professional convention I am likely to hug you. At a comics/pop-culture convention I am likely to say please don’t touch me
It has been heart warming to see honest conversations about sexism, harassment and prejudice in story-sharing communities (be it gaming, books, or comics). Sometimes it makes me cry a little. I find it interesting that now that men are talking about it a lot more it has become news, and I find it a huge…
