Doctor, author, professor, geek. Mostly here to talk writing and geeking out over SF/F anime/manga, comic books, you get the idea.

The nerve conduction test is over. Ha, I'm acquainted with the doctor socially as it turns out and he is leaning toward my worse fears: this is probably neurogenic claudication stemming from spinal stenosis. Sigh. On the other hand, he's impressed with my recovery post injury

For a different character, in a different book series, I did some research into dementia and memory loss, and it was pretty fascinating. It never came up in the story itself, but in the real world ~1 in 6 cases of mild cognitive impairment progress to full dementia.

The upper limb prostheses they have now (that we didn't when I was seeing patients) are amazing with how controllable and functional the hands are. Did a lot of watching DARPA videos on this

There aren't scenes yet but one that I have outlined will be her helping to save a trafficked young man and introducing him to the people who'll help turn his life around.

My favorites (one horror, one middlegrade steampunk) were two women (one 30ish, one 13) who are lower limb amputees. Unfortunately in my previous career in wound care podiatry, I saw too many people go on to lose a limb. A third (hopepunk) woman has my disability, also a severe lower limb injury.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. β˜ΊοΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’–

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

Today was the second time in 9 months that I've gone into a cemetery in OH and interrupted wedding photos being taken. I'm starting to side eye OH hard.

I sometimes note that it’s just as important, if not more so, for writers to know which hills they’re willing to die on β€” meaning, knowing the parts of the story that are yours and belong in there no matter what. No matter who calls them darlings.

The weird thing about writing erotica in this particular coffee shop is there is a catholic college just up the hill and there is often Franciscan monks and nuns sitting down next to me. Oh don't mind me, just writing smut for two men in hell....

I get a lot of mileage out characters suddenly appearing and disappearing without explanation. I think my favorite, tho, is telling the reader outright that something horrible is going to happen and then slowly building to it
