The Exploits of Miss Quest

35, they pronouns, living in Minneapolis, musician, writer, dancer/aspiring aerialist, can't stop thinking about music theory. Messaging welcome but response times are unreliable. Things I like: sff, They Might Be Giants, Les Miserables, Cary Grant, Oscar Wilde, Elliott Smith, Erik Satie and literally anyone he was friends with, abstract mathematics particularly topology, and The Wicker Man (1973). The best parties have bonfires, group singing, and hugging, but two out of three ain't bad. I update this description eventually, sometimes. Don't ask how long my queue is and definitely don't ask how many unqueued drafts I have. Please ask me about the fractal rhythmic structure of Hozier songs instead.

Once again pinning a post to say, I'm alive, wouldn't go so far as to say I'm OK because I've been dealing with some pretty intense and challenging life/family stuff and the aftermath is going to be ongoing for a while, but, it is what it is and I'm home now, which my cats are very happy about.

Not planning to be gone forever for sure, but I've been home for less than two weeks and it's going to take me a while to settle back into any part of my normal life (plus, so mundane in contrast, but in the meantime my office reached our busy season and I'm probably going to be working a lot of overtime for a few weeks). I'm sure I'll take a break to refill my queue at some point, though. Love to all my mutuals, I'll enjoy catching up on the internet when I get there :)

We report: the clouds become ghostly presences as we are gone to the night. In the darkening of the sky, they slowly become invisible. We know there will come a moment when we only know them from the absence of the stars; only the void as a testimony of their existence.

In a press conference Monday, NASA administrator Bill Nelson confirmed the biggest concern agency officials had about returning to the moon was that it might not remember them. “It’s been, jeez, what, almost 50 years? We just hope it’s not super awkward,” said Nelson, who noted that NASA astronauts were currently undergoing rigorous training to simulate what it would be like when they landed and the moon gave them a completely blank look.
