@jumpingjacktrash, aka Jesse, formerly of Northfield MN, died of complications from a stroke on June 18th, 2025, age 52. He was born in the Twin Cities on August 23rd, 1972, to Sandy and David. He is survived by his spouse Seebs, daughter Katarzyna, father David, brother Matthew, nibling Mika, adoptive sister Leslie, frequent collaborator Rah, many other friends and family, and his cat, Wen Ning, The Doom That Was Foretold, A Surprise Guest. He is predeceased by his first husband Jj, his mother Sandra, and his cat Hermes, He Who Must Smell The Night. He was best known for his writing, with his novel The God Eaters and webcomic Metanoia being his most famous works, but also a bewildering variety of fan fiction spanning genres and fandoms. His active participation in various communities, both in-person and later online, was notable for his thoughtful and patient advice, especially on queer activism, one of the major focuses of his adult life. In addition to more structured activism, he participated in a number of heists which moved queer people from unsafe environments to safer environments, which is how he ended up with his daughter (who met him through his Homestuck fanfiction), his nemesis Luka (whom he smuggled out of Nebraska), his friend Aud (smuggled out of Washington), and many of his other friends and associates. He was cremated, according to his wishes. His memorial service will be on his 53rd birthday (August 23rd, 2025), in Northfield. Given Jesse's many friendships and connections, we ask that those wishing to attend contact Seebs beforehand. All who knew him are welcome to reach out. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, please consider donations or other support (such as volunteering) to help protect those in need. If you want a specific charity suggestion, he was particularly fond of The Bridge For Youth. Feel free to contact Seebs directly if you have questions or comments. We plan to make more of his writing available online as permanently as possible in the future. (I'm probably gonna spin up his laptop to reblog this there for the benefit of people who followed him but not me.)

If you somehow asked a genie to get you a gram of Francium in a sealed vial so you could do an experiment with it, the genie would just give it to you because the enormous amount of radioactivity it produces would instantly vaporize the sample and cook you alive. Absolute dogshit isotope and its synthetic siblings are just the same but worse

Six years in he finds out about the stork bringing babies.

There’s no downside. Stork wears his robes, pins, keychains, and other bird-related tchotchkes with genuine pride. 

And he’d probably remember them too. “Welcome back, Eliza.”

Will reblog every time it crosses my dash 🖖🏾
