A friend of mine - former college professor, physicist, airplane mechanic, spelunker with ties to the US Forest Service, fantasy writer and a million other things - just announced that her friend sent her a job application.
The job? Astronaut. "Let's apply so they can reject me again," she says.
The kicker? Said friend is trans. She came out in the early 90s.
There's been a ton of bad news this week. I simply wanted to share some ridiculously good.

Where does she find the time?
(I ask this as I sit on my ass at 11 am doing absolutely nothing)

Where does she find the time? (I ask this as I sit on my ass at 11 am doing absolutely nothing) I’ve wondered the same thing. I think it's because she's basically a luddite - no cell phone, prefers a typewriter, etc. Tech can be a time suck. |

They need to make a movie about her. I'd watch it.

Which came after all the other stuff. Forgot about that one. Her in-progress novel is pretty great, by the way. It begins with a naked goblin windmilling like he's Mike Tenay in 2007. |
