My friend asks, “How did you come up with your LJ name?” which seemed like a good question/meme thing to participate in, so I thought I’d answer! Kit was a character I played on an X-Men MUSH about twenty years ago. She was a comic-book me, though I always imagined her physically a bit more like Linda Hamilton. She was a photographer with a kid, and I’ve always sort of regarded her as having a life of her own: she’s one of the other paths I could have taken. (Curiously,…

That has got to be one of the most awesome discoveries of the century, and will be at the end of the century, too. As my cousin said, “That explains a lot about why breast milk seems to have such great healing properties.” Wow. Just wow. An astronaut’s Tumblr. Seriously, the photos here. Just wow. How zinc works on the immune system–and why less is more with it. That’s kinda cool.…
