Fortresses? - October 2023
The drive from the Kaibab Paiute Pipe Spring RV Park just south of Kanab, Utah, to Saint George, Utah, is a beautiful drive through desert, cliffs, rock formations, and some rather steep mountain roads. As you drive along it is almost hard to accept that these are natural, not man-made formations. What looks like castles or fortresses from a distance become caprock or volcanic formations as you draw closer.

An Ode to Texas State Parks
In Texas state parks,
Where the wildflowers bloom,
And the rivers flow,
Nature's beauty consumes.
From the desert plains,
To the lush green hills,
The echoes of time,
And the peace it instills.

Caprock Canyons State Park
This was kinda of a wild camping trip. We kept being chased away by chill bison. They were there and weren’t going to be moving anytime soon so we went elsewhere. There was a bison in the middle of the hiking trail and when we got back to camp a big bison was just laying around our camp. We also got yelled at by prairie dogs and I pretty sure Bear conned us into taking things out of his…

The Lybrook landscape is a colorful spectrum of southwestern earth tones, ranging from yellow, brown, pink, and purple to stark, tall hills of layered black and white. The region is a visual cornucopia of peculiar rock formations, including tall spires, hefty hoodoos, towering caprocks, and other bizarre geologic specimens. It is a glorious place for geology geeks.

It seems to be portrayed as having fairly warm weather . . . but as large as it is, does it have regions of varying weather patterns? And in a similar vein, are there various areas of diverse vegetation/fauna?”
••••••
In short, yes. I live in West Texas and mom in Southeast (about 500 or so miles apart), and we can have essentially two seasons. It can rain there and be bone dry here, and sometimes in the winter she asks me the temp so she can prepare the next day.
And it’s no exaggeration some parts of the state you can experience at least 3 seasons in the same day. I’m personally lucky in that I seem to have adapted to this particularly go here, which it’s frequent 2 seasons a day right now, but I get funny looks being in short sleeves in cooler weather because of it.
•••••••
Vegetation/fauna is definitely diverse. If I travel from home to Mom’s, in that 8 hour drive I go from:
• a flat area where most trees that aren’t mesquite were planted by settlers (you can tell where a house is/was based on clusters of trees), that grows cotton and feed if they aren’t an oil town
• area with mesas and wind turbines after leaving the Caprock, another ironically heavier oil area. The turbines are increasing to the point I joke they’re “Don Quixote’s nightmare.
• areas with thicker areas of trees that are shorter, oddly at times more prickly pear cactus, and bigger cities,
(This varies if I take the longer route - uncommon but I will in December to run a different St. Jude race - through Boerne/San Antonio where you go through the mesas and rolling plains again in the middle of the state, and unfortunately experience 40 mins. of cell phone dead zone. It’s bad to the point it’s LEGAL to go 80 mph to get through it)
• heavily wooded area and gentle hills.
And then if we go to Galveston or Corpus Christi there’s some marshy areas and then the coast.
The marshiest area is around La Porte I think, which is where the battle of San Jacinto was and the Texas fighters used this to an advantage.
••••••
Wildlife varies. I see more wild turkey and pheasant here than east coast. I’ve seen a few roadrunners but they seem more prevalent in the Palo Duro Canyon.
Prairie dogs are far more common in west Texas. Amarillo’s minor league team’s mascot is Sodpoodles (a nickname) and Lubbock has one park dedicated to the black tail prairie dogs.
Anyone watching them I’d say don’t walk close: their town system underground makes it dangerous to walk lest you fall through a hole.
I definitely see more deer near moms along with raccoons. Skunks more often here: in the summer I must walk the cemetery in full daylight, not dusk as they seem to like living there more. (Just clarifying for folks: where I am the cemetery is the safest place to walk due to bad traffic and has a very high visibility).
Snakes are definitely a big issue all around. For the poisonous ones, West Texas more rattlers and coral while East copperheads and water moccasins (though up here we’ll see some copperheads).
Coast we see a lot of sea turtles nest there, particularly Kemp Ridley. There’s a lot of hatching ceremonies in the year where the state protects the turtles until they waddle into the Gulf to give them a fighting chance to survive.
I’m sure there’s even more than this, but it’s more of I’ve experienced here
Thanks for the ask.

can i talk about some ideas i have for season 3 of lykaia? (no plot point related spoilers lol)
so for season 3 i wanna stray away from ea names and instead use irl locations and a few made up ones. so like for chestnut ridge, it's gonna be called redwater point, texas. (heavily inspired by quitaque texas and the caprock canyons) anyway here's the inspo.

Was reading a thing (totally not a Simon “Ghost” Riley smut drabble) when a very specific line caught my eye. Something about a silver laced tongue. Which got me thinking about “Like That” and that one line “talking with braces on your tongue, just to provoke my combat”. According to collinsdictionary.com, a silver-tongued person is “very skillful at persuading people to believe what they say or to do what they want them to do”.
Small note: braces(the metal bits) *can* have silver or silver alloys within them, some do, some don’t according to doctor internet.
I like to imagine that with the rest of the lyrics “Push down into membranes and layers, creating a slow dissection, I stumble into your tar trap, an addition to your collection” it’s a way of saying Vessel was basically picked apart to be used by this person who he probably couldn’t separate himself from because they knew him too well, inside and out. He could be used like a puppet to suit the needs of this person. “Turn me into your mannequin and I’ll turn you into my puppet queen”.
Another interesting thing is how he said tar trap. Maybe I’m looking to far into it, but usually when you hear about tar, you’d say tar pit to reference it but this could be another thing about how he was trapped in this relationship.
According to wikipedia:
Tar is made of asphalt
Tar/asphalt forms in the presence of oil
Oil is made when decayed organic matter is under pressure underground
“Tar pits form above oil reserves, and these deposits are often found in anticlinal traps.”
A trap is “a geological structure affecting the reservoir rock and caprock of a petroleum system allowing the accumulation of hydrocarbons in a reservoir”. Hydrocarbons play a part in creating the tar/tar traps if I’m understanding correctly.
In La Brea tar pits, an extremophile bacteria called purple sulfur bacteria was found(this is not the only bacteria but it was the most common one found I believe).
The bacteria requires a “reducing agent” which is when an electron is “donated” by a chemical species. The bacteria tend to use sulfur, apparently in the form of sulfides (“sulfur on your breath, granite in my chest”).
I’m overthinking with this, probably, but for once, the overthinking is making me happy so it’s fine.

15 questions meme
Tagged by @saiditallbefore :)
Are you named after anyone? Not really. I choose my name and I picked names that weren't emotionally connected. I considered using my grandfather's name but it is pretty common and a somewhat famous trans guy I can't stand has it.
When was the last time you cried? While watching the graveside flowers being left at Alexei Navalny's grave, seeing the crowds in the streets of Moscow risking their lives to pay their respects. Devastating. I struggled to write for a week after he died. Nalvany was four years older than me and I'd watched him work for a long time. His death felt like the destruction of something so irreplaceable and beautiful. But in the darkness of it, there were people finding themselves and the fortitude to keep going. Navalny's dream for the beautiful future of Russia will not die with his body.
Do you have kids? No. I have never wanted to be a parent. The moment I learned about pregnancy and what was possible when I was around 9-10 years old, I immediately began planning to get sterilized as soon as possible.
What sports do you play/have you played? None. I was not athletically gifted as a kid and opportunities/money were not something I had. I took fencing at university and loved it, but it's an expensive hobby.
Do you use sarcasm? I do, but I like to think I achieve a better balance of sarcasm and earnestness these days. Like a lot of people, I went through that very grim/sarcastic phase. But I value genuine enjoyment more. Death to cringe culture and people afraid to just enjoy things/let other people enjoy things.
What is the first thing you notice about people? Probably their clothes. If they have interesting accessories.
What is your eye color? Green, very green. Possibly the one thing about my physical form that has never disappointed me.
Scary movies or happy endings? Are we meant to think these things are mutually exclusive? Because I think they go together. Look on the very basic level I'm more likely to watch a scary movie just because most happy ending movies are relentlessly heterosexual and I find that boring.
What are your talents? I'm a good cook and baker. I can follow a recipe and improvise as needed. My particular traumas mean when someone needs emergency services I know how to get things done in a crisis and can save the freak out for later. I can spin endless stories.
Where were you born? In the Panhandle Plains of Texas, where the sky goes on forever. You can see a storm coming for miles. It was land that the Comanche roamed for generations, traversing the seas of grass and the Caprock. The second largest canyon in America is there and it is beautiful. They've reintroduced bison and they roam. It is stark and empty and terrible in some ways but also beautiful.
What are your hobbies? Reading, writing, gardening, doing the occasional fidgety crafty sort of thing. Casual bird watching from my windows. I like to try different things and I'm going to try weightlifting next.
Do you have any pets? A cat who is 21+ years old named Jasmine. She is pretty deaf and has two heated beds plus a heating blanket on the couch for her comfort.
How tall are you? Five foot four inches as I have been for about 30 years. Disappointing to me but probably ultimately irrelevant.
Dream job/career? I have now, which is to say I do not have a job. I'm a house husband and a writer. Work is a scam and we live in a capitalist hellscape. My dad spent his entire life doing a job he hated because it was wrapped up in the idea that a Man did certain things. The longest I ever stayed at a job was seven years, the shortest was one week. Quitting is always my favorite part.
Tagging a couple of people if you want to play the meme game @balconyskeletons @yourstrulyknits @by-ilmater @udunie @sineala

"The idea is, after the rig has extracted the last of the petroleum from under the caprock we can leave the pipe in place, and we run it in reverse to pump the earth full of meat slurry. Once the reservoir is full, we just leave it for a couple million and when we get back, viola! More petrol! Using this technique we can actually treat oil as a renewable resource, assuming the planners are right about the longevity of the state."
"Contrary to popular belief, the meat is actually only about 15% human, and most of thats combatants anyway. We used to run em through something like a big meatgrinder. Those were real finicky though, so we switched to the crocs about 30 years back. You just shovel the meat into it's mouth, the croc chews it up real good, and then when it gets to it's stomach the slurry is pumped back out through the cannula. The techs make sure the croc gets enough to stay strong, but not so much that it's sated, you know? Otherwise it won't eat as quick. When they finally do kick it we can just feed the remains through another one so we dont even gotta fuss over anything. Except for the jaw muscles, we like to harvest those and sell em for use in military crossbows."
