Running and screaming

I might need to culturally appropriate the Asian greeting just to see how it goes.

All the gold for Laika.

This sculpture is one part of my ArtPrize entry for this year! If everything goes to plan, it'll be at the same venue my pieces were at last year, the Atrium by Uccello's. ArtPrize is running from September 18-October 4 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and if you can attend, please vote for Laika! I'll post links and details as we get closer to the dates, but right now I'm putting my head down and working on getting this done.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.

Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a "recent fad" in research.

We’ve all heard the “should you use modern queer labels or not” argument but honestly even when people go “true, they wouldn’t use the labels ‘aromantic’ or ‘asexual,’” so often the characters describe their experiences as “I never felt romantic attraction” or “I don’t feel attracted to anyone” in ways that makes me go. You are stilllllll thinking about this in an extraordinarily modern online way. That 19th century steampunk detective man will NOT be angsting about having never felt romantic attraction, he would be angsting about being unable to feel moved by the beauty or charm of a woman, or something. And I do think that “attractiveness” language is different from the identity-level idea of experiencing attraction—Sherlock Holmes does not talk about not experiencing attraction, but when Watson says “What a very attractive woman!” Holmes responds “Is she? I did not observe.” (And then Watson calls him an inhuman automaton and calculating-machine and Holmes calls Watson’s judgement biased). Never swayed by the attractiveness of a man or woman, never desirous of marriage, never charmed by the delights of love, all of these feel like some of the variety of ways that someone in this milieu might describe an ace- or aro-spectrum identity more than “never felt attraction” does. Mostly because, like the terms for aromantic and asexual themselves, nailing down an exclusively attraction-based definition of a-spec identities is a relatively new and extremely post-AVEN thing. And yet in fiction everybody knows to articulate their experience as feeling sexual/romantic attraction. And I always want to go nooo how would THIS character think about it?? Not how you think this character SHOULD think about it, how would THIS person in THIS context articulate their feelings?
