welcome to the hole

Once upon a time, I kept a LiveJournal account, gryphons_hole, a deep, dark, comfy little hole in my brain where I kept notes on my life and queerness.

So, it would seem that some combination of my surface tablet, windows 8.1, and the forced option of windows explorer does not at all like the visual editor on LJ… And, so, anyway…. Hi! There have been times, sitting and missing and wanting and trying to post here. Ultimately? I get stuck with how much […]

orange you glad? you nut

Recreated/migrated from dapperkink, added 03.12.23. On the tenth anniversary of the removal of my cancerous lump: For context: I first found the lump as walnut sized. Within the three and a half weeks between primary-care doctor, CTs, and surgeon consult, it was the size of an orange.

awwww, nuts!
