Autograph
I made the claim in a small group on Discord that I was a public figure. One of the women there disputed that claim. I linked her to my publicly available art. Then she asked for my autograph. Well technically she wants an autograph of markezuma. I am happy to oblige. Maybe markezuma’s “signature” will…

Spammers, Scammers, and Bots
I have a public persona on the internet. I have been using the handle markezuma for nearly thirty years. It is intended to attract attention and lead directly to my current work. But much of my attention is from what I will call an annoyance to be civil about it. In reality they are scammers,…

Magic in my Lap
Magic has been extra affectionate lately. She’ll climb into my lap and snuggle. Sometimes when things are quiet we can sit together for an hour or two. Soft, and warm, and peaceful.

Magic in My Lap
My cat Magic has been especially cuddly with me in the past few days. She has gotten into my lap and stayed there for an hour letting me pet her. But “Magic in my Lap” kinda sounds like a dirty movie. One of those artsy “We don’t call it a lap dance in France” sorts…

40 Degrees is Paradise
For the past two months it has been cold enough that I haven’t wanted to walk around outside. Today it was 40 degrees in the afternoon and we didn’t get rain like yesterday. So the whole family went for a walk to the convenience store about half a mile from the house. It wasn’t a…

Surfing the App Store
I am thinking of getting something to manage the security on my phone better. I have heard good things about ExpressVPN so I opened its page in the app store. It is “#5 Top Grossing.” That is a stupid thing to brag about. It’s just a bad flex. It’s like saying, “We are among the…

My Mental Health
For those of you just joining me I am a mental health advocate. I take my psych meds every day unless there’s a mix up at the pharmacy. I saw my counselor today and do so about once a month. We talk about the stress of my day to day life, my arguments and anxieties,…

Following Directions
I learn best by doing things wrong and realizing that I have done them wrong later. Then I do something different and hopefully less wrong. I repeat the process by hopefully again continuing to be incrementally less wrong as I continue to go. This is time consuming and not always productive, but when I have…

Losing My Phone
I dreamed I lost my cell phone again, that the person who took it from me also dismantled it, and that I had to reassemble it when I finally got it back. I have a sense that my phone isn’t really mine and my subconscious agrees. Granted it’s only been actually stolen once and I…

Asking the Government
The USA is conducting the largest mass deportations in the country’s history. Children of illegal immigrants are being rounded up to be sent back “home.” Home is in quotes because many of them have never lived anywhere but the USA. And yet they are here illegally. There’s a political principle I picked up over the…
