    Not All Cisgendered Women

    Not All Cisgendered WomenI’m serious; accountability is needed from the intellectual domineers of modern, liberal, lower-class social spheres. But not all of them. Laughing at the feelings of young men needs to stop. Every voice deserves space to be heard, and white cisgendered women have no place leading the charge of intersectionality.I left native women off the list, to my telling dismay. They should be right up top of my list. Get full access to Of Darkness & Light at www.ofdarknessandlight.net/subscribe

A Tent.Enter Commander Járgoon & Corporal ValéfántCommander Járgoon: I feel good. This is going better than was expected. We may need to cull our own numbers so we might justify our victory to The King at this rate. I’m quite eager to hear news from Maléfor’s detachment—on the hunting of that wretched fortune seeker half what-have-you.Corporal Valéfánt: I suspect we shall hear back soon—some victory on their behalf—undoing that uprightness—and maybe just in time for me to clean the wizard princess loving scum blood from my blade.Commander Járgoon: Were you counting again, Corporal? Could you even keep the count? These simpletons seem not to produce bespoken soldiers in the least, except those their squirl’s formations cling to who likely foisted into these lands from afar. Where’s my scribe? Where is my scribe?Corporal Valéfánt: Scribe. Your commander has returned from battle.Enter Scribe RekertScribe Rekert: Sire. Sire. Apologies. There has been much regaling—much rejoicing.Commander Járgoon: Sit.Corporal Valéfánt: Yes. Sit to do your work and do it well. Ink your quill and shut your mouth.Commander Járgoon: Write this for the record, Scribe: Here, on the fifth day of battle, the final day of Spring, Empire’s great victory became fastened to fate upon the routing of the rebellion’s limpest yet maximal mustering. Their singular formation fell—it was dismayed—by the vicious battalion sent into head-on combat by the ingenious tactics of Commander Járgoon. The resisting rebellion forces were weakened and sullied for days ahead, by siege upon their fortress walls—with spies grafted within—and by his lord Commander’s grace, fell with ease. Losses were few. Deaths taken were many. The former rebel stronghold was then razed by flames, pillaging, and demonstrations of glory’s right upon their unfallen. Retreating parties were destined, terminated where-all possible, and those who were marked yet protected have been tracked. Further resistance to the rebel’s general defeat was all but assured to fail—their numbers falling to less than a hundred strong.

    I'm Writing a Play! (Homelessness & Disability Updates)

    I’m Writing a Play!(Homelessness & Disability Updates)Regarding placement of the play: I have been confused… and just did historical research to clarify things. I was conflating Gaul and The Gallic Wars (of 58–50 BCE) over into Ireland much-much later, to my dismay. Regardless, I will be setting this in a loosely historical fantasy setting which can blend and bend with the needs of my story but will be more historically centered off the 1690-1691 battles between Ireland and Britain.Still, it will be non-specific and of a fantasy tint with only light inspiration from that time period; sourcing ‘hollow hills’ ideas of its mythology, along with shape changers and the like.The play takes place during a single overlong campaign of battle between local warriors relying on the magic of a sorceress against an overbearing empire-like force.My Previously Written Radio Plays:Vicky DarkbloodHoly SwordI’m Making an Hour-Long Playlist Each Day for a Month!‘First Monday’ Playlist on Spotify - ‘First Monday’ Playlist on TidalHow you can help, if you’re interested:✿ kind messages mean the most — [email protected]✿ donations are welcome — My Spot Fund Fundraiser If you’re interested in helping more:✿ job and/or friend referrals in the Seattle area✿ potential couches to surfNext up for me:✿ daily library vacations/transitionary housing/battling through the clinical disability diagnosis pipeline✿ writing War on Heaven, my first novel after quitting marijuana (which is key)✿ mass applying for work in the Seattle area✿ finding a new and appropriate human dwelling✿ researching more ways to establish the Hometree Outdoor Inpatient Mental Health Facility concept Get full access to Of Darkness & Light at www.ofdarknessandlight.net/subscribe

Sirens of North, East, and South sang about times to come where the insanity of mankind upon Earth would find its pyre for making hasteful surrenders.“Time is short, Theodore,” was all Daphne told, when she last spoke.Now, she simply stood stilted in silence; Daphne scowled, brooding in preeminence; reflecting a fury of knowing cradled within those deepest folds of Theodore himself. Daphne’s sycamore—she had told him—was lit by her own hands and spoke in spurted but furious crackling, almost sparking vision itself inside Theodore’s mind. His inner eye gaped at the whims of her righteous and wicked doings upon Olympus alike. Get full access to Of Darkness & Light at www.ofdarknessandlight.net/subscribe

    New Pitch: Hometree Outdoor Inpatient Mental Health Facility

    Check out the Wiki page!please consider donating to my fundraiser, for helping me in the short term — because my diagnostic route is long and winding, I will be looking for work and transitional housing despite the near-impossibility of achieving that without familial or communal support (I receive discouragement and punishment for my disability and it’s what has made me psychotic) this is not about my gender care, idiots in the backFundraiser Hometree Outdoor Inpatient Mental Health Facility is a results-oriented recovery model designed as a singular, scalable arm of a broader service network. It operates under the guiding principle that every mental disability and crisis is unique. The facility functions as a licensed residential treatment environment under Washington State frameworks (including RCW 71.12 residential treatment facilities and related behavioral health certifications under WAC 246-341 and WAC 246-337), while delivering care in a dispersed, campground-style woodland setting near a river.Residents live in individual cabins rather than institutional wards. Shared amenities include shower facilities, an on-site medicine dispensary, diagnostic professionals, case workers, social workers, housing-placement support for urban reintegration, an arcade with classic cabinets, a ping-pong table, streaming television, and a yurt dedicated to meditation and yoga. Therapeutic systems integrate regenerative gardens, consent-based cooking programs, animal stewardship, art studios, peer-mediated restorative practices, and a living laboratory that supports ethical pharmaceutical discovery alongside holistic modalities.One signature structure is the Hometree Spiral—a Fibonacci-proportioned building dedicated to holistic healing and wellness research. Staff schedules follow firefighter-style rotations (commonly 48 hours on / 96 hours off), with options for on-site housing so employees can live near the work or shuttle from urban centers. Funding is built in through diversified streams: research and IP licensing, educational outreach, sliding-scale contributions that preserve resident dignity, and partnerships that keep the model scholarship-accessible.The facility is intentionally designed so its systems, protocols, and architectural lessons can be propagated outward while remaining grounded in Washington State regulatory, funding, and land-access pathways.Core Facility Elements* Individual cabins for privacy and autonomy, with optional gender-responsive clustering for residents with gender-based violence histories.* Central shared services (showers, dispensary, diagnostics, clinical staff) that meet inpatient standards without institutional density.* Recreation and regulation spaces (arcade, ping-pong, streaming media, yurt).* Therapeutic gardens, kitchen laboratory, animal areas, and art studios operated as layered living systems for food, skill-building, sensory regulation, and consented research.* On-site and nearby staff housing plus firefighter-style shift options to support sustained, high-quality care without burnout.* Housing-placement pathways that prioritize rapid, supported return to urban living when the resident is ready.* The Hometree Spiral as both a wellness landmark and a research asset examining the measurable effects of Fibonacci geometry on calm, attention, and recovery metrics.Living Laboratory and Pharmaceutical DiscoveryAll research is voluntary, revocable, care-plan-linked, and ethically overseen. Passive environmental monitoring occurs in shared spaces; active participation (wearables, self-reports, outcome tracking) requires ongoing consent. Aggregated, anonymized data support peer-reviewed work on combined pharmacological and non-pharmacological pathways. The kitchen, gardens, animal program, art studios, and Spiral itself function as observation sites so pharmaceutical options can be refined in real-world, individualized contexts rather than isolated clinical settings.Funding ArchitectureRevenue is diversified so that 100% scholarship access remains the baseline. Streams include research contracts and IP licensing (therapy protocols, architectural toolkits, outcome tools), educational outreach and clinician training, sliding-scale contributions calculated to leave meaningful financial breathing room, and alumni or partnership support. Contributions never create debt and can be adjusted or paused. Paid resident roles (garden, kitchen, peer mediation, research assistance) further strengthen the internal economy while building transferable skills.Staff ModelEmployees—from psychiatrists and social workers to kitchen and facilities staff—work in a setting that prioritizes peace, continuity, and professional growth. Firefighter-style rotations (48/96 or equivalent) reduce commute frequency and support recovery between intensive periods. On-site or near-site housing options allow staff who prefer immersion to live within the campus ecosystem. Research participation, continuing education, and a culture oriented toward resident agency create a workplace that attracts and retains people who want the time and conditions to do their best work.The three linked content pieces below expand the operational, ethical, and human foundations of the model.1. Ethical Holistic-Pharmaceutical Hybrid Care: Individualized Pathways for Every Unique JourneyTreatment at Hometree is results-based and co-created. There are no fixed discharge clocks. Weekly Discovery Rounds review measurable progress (executive function, sensory regulation, mood stability, pain, agency, relational safety) and adjust the plan. Pharmaceutical options—traditional and evolving—are integrated with gardening, cooking, meditation, yoga, art, animal contact, and restorative practices only when they serve the individual’s documented needs and preferences.Core ethical safeguards include voluntary participation at every layer, trauma-informed and culturally competent facilitation, confidentiality protections (including mediation under Washington’s Uniform Mediation Act), and weekly auditing against the care plan. Gardens supply nutrient-dense, regenerative food and personal plots that residents may accept or decline each season. The kitchen operates as a therapeutic laboratory linking clean ingredients to measurable outcomes. Animal stewardship is segmented for allergies and sensitivities, with lifetime sanctuary placements sourced ethically. Art studios in Fibonacci-proportioned spaces support non-verbal processing and skill development. Meditation and yoga occur in the yurt and Spiral. Peer-mediated restorative circles address conflict without adversarial escalation.All data collection remains secondary to healing. Residents may contribute to research that advances hybrid protocols; findings feed publications, training, and IP that sustain scholarships. The model rejects one-size-fits-all menus, schedules, or medication regimens. Every pathway is shaped by the resident’s changing condition and readiness for urban reintegration or longer sanctuary residence.2. Siting the Sanctuary: Wilderness Locations, Equitable Land Access, and Gender-Responsive Design for Results-Oriented RecoveryThe ideal site is wooded land near a river that supports cabin dispersion, regenerative gardens, animal areas, and emergency access while remaining within regulatory reach of Washington behavioral-health licensing and medical backup. Campground-style separation reduces institutional density yet preserves full inpatient-capable amenities (dispensary, diagnostics, clinical staff, structured recreation).Equitable land pathways prioritize conservation tools already operating in Washington: agricultural and habitat conservation easements, land-trust partnerships (Buy-Protect-Sell models that lower purchase price after easement placement), state programs such as Farmland Protection & Affordability Investment (FarmPAI) paired with conservation grants, and acquisitions or partnerships involving the Department of Fish & Wildlife or local trusts. These mechanisms make larger, river-adjacent parcels more accessible without relying on pure market-rate speculation. Target geographies include Cascade foothills and Olympic Peninsula areas with existing private parcels surrounded by public forest, creek or river frontage, and feasible utility or septic solutions.Gender-responsive design is built in from the start. Individual cabins provide baseline privacy. Optional gender-clustered zones and enhanced safety protocols are available for residents with histories of gender-based violence; participation remains choice-based and is revisited in care planning. The overall layout supports rapid reintegration: housing-placement specialists work alongside clinical teams so that when a resident is ready, urban housing, employment, and ongoing support connections are already in motion. The Hometree Spiral serves as both a wellness landmark visible from the landscape and a controlled research environment for studying the effects of Fibonacci geometry on recovery metrics.3. A Regenerative Workplace: Staff Housing, Firefighter-Style Shifts, and a Culture of Peaceful ExcellenceHometree is designed as a workplace that attracts and retains the full range of staff required for high-quality inpatient care—psychiatrists, case managers, social workers, diagnostic professionals, peer facilitators, kitchen and facilities teams. The physical setting (woods, river, dispersed cabins, Spiral, gardens) and the operational model (consent-centered, results-based, research-integrated) create conditions of peace and professional freedom rarely available in conventional facilities.Staffing follows firefighter-style rotations, most commonly 48 hours on followed by 96 hours off. This pattern reduces the number of weekly commutes, provides multi-day recovery blocks, and supports continuity of care during intensive periods. Employees may choose to live on-site or in nearby staff housing, shuttle from urban centers, or combine both options across their rotation. On-site living is treated as a genuine residential choice with the same dignity standards applied to resident housing.The culture emphasizes time and resources to work at the level of one’s training and values. Ongoing research participation, educational outreach roles, and internal professional development are available without mandatory overload. Funding structures that include research revenue and diversified streams reduce the pressure to prioritize volume over quality. Menial and clinical roles alike are framed as essential to the living laboratory and the recovery environment. The result is a workplace oriented toward sustained excellence rather than burnout, where staff can help residents move toward their own goals with the calm and continuity the setting itself supports.

    America's Diagnosis: Oppositional Defiance Disorder

    America’s Diagnosis: Oppositional Defiance Disordersorry my psychosis triggers your ownI’m sorry. Really sorry I said mean things.Don’t send me any nice message from my old friends or artists I believed in. I already know you won’t. You’re not the kind of people who do that, and I’m not going to sit here pretending otherwise. Stay exactly as you are. Keep the silence. Don’t forgive me. Don’t forgive yourselves either. Don’t prove me wrong by acting like the good people I once thought were underneath.Just keep doing what you’re already doing. It’s the easiest, most consistent choice. I don’t believe you’ll change it. Get full access to Of Darkness & Light at www.ofdarknessandlight.net/subscribe

The sequence is ordered yet never exactly periodic, enabling even distribution of forces, reduced vibration, and improved long-term stability across scales—from built environments to biological matrices and mechanical components.In architectural and spatial design, circulation routes follow logarithmic spirals, planting layouts adopt phyllotaxis patterns, and room proportions, window placements, and structural clusters are governed by golden-ratio rectangles. Peer-reviewed studies in environmental psychology and biophilic design demonstrate that these configurations measurably lower cortisol, elevate heart-rate variability, enhance attention and wayfinding, and reduce sensory overload relative to conventional rectilinear grids. The resulting environments support cognitive clarity, emotional regulation, and adaptive capacity without requiring additional energy input or specialized materials.The same geometric logic appears in microtubule lattices, where Fibonacci helical pathways contribute to structural resilience under thermal noise, and in magnetic-coil or fluid-guide arrays, where Fibonacci intervals damp instabilities more effectively than uniform spacing.Hydrogel Systems and Pharmaceutical ImplicationsAlginate–chitosan hydrogels fabricated with Fibonacci-scaled micro-channels (diameters stepped successively by φ) generate self-similar, pulsed release profiles for nutrients, active pharmaceutical ingredients, or extracellular vesicles. Controlled comparisons against uniform and randomly patterned controls are performed in vitro, in hydroponic models, in mammalian cell or organoid culture, and in simplified gut simulators. Anticipated results include higher peak-to-trough ratios, slower terminal decay, improved uptake efficiency, and elevated expression of regenerative or transporter-related markers.These kinetics align naturally with circadian and demand-window dynamics, offering a route to chronotherapeutic delivery that can increase bioavailability, reduce dosing frequency, and minimize waste. All fabrication methods (3-D bioprinting or femtosecond laser micromachining) and materials are already standard in contemporary laboratories.Previously Published Fibonacci Hydrogel ExperimentsTheoretical Application: Fibonacci-Patterned TiresConsider tread or internal reinforcement spaced according to successive Fibonacci intervals rather than constant pitch.Regular spacing produces periodic weak points that reinforce small oscillations into vibration or lateral deviation. Fibonacci intervals interrupt those repeating wavelengths, confining disturbances locally so they dissipate before amplification. The tire therefore tracks with reduced corrective input, particularly under free-rolling or low-torque conditions.Under braking, load transfer across the contact patch is distributed more evenly, delaying localized slip and potentially shortening stopping distances on mixed surfaces. Residual deformation waves that persist after torque is removed are likewise suppressed, yielding quieter, calmer coast-down behavior.Implementation requires only a change in mold or reinforcement geometry; no novel compounds are needed. Performance differentials can be quantified on standard tire-test drums and vehicle-dynamics platforms, providing a low-cost pathway to incremental gains in stability, noise, and braking consistency.Daphne Garrido(253) 316-2024Tacoma, Washington◯ ☽ ◑ ● ◐ ❨ ◯URCL Mathematics is a trip.Also, please consider looking at Daphne’s Hometree.
