Kate Sjostrand

Writer of rants, speculative fiction, and the occasional ‘fuck you.’ Navy vet. Survived death. Now I piss people off on purpose.

Hi, I’m Kate. I survived 3 cardiac arrests, wrote myself back to life, and now I split my time between dark fantasy and savage rants. Navy vet. IT manager. Writer of things that piss people off on purpose.

Woke up at 3 a.m., scrolled, and watched a politician sell “Right to Repair” like it’s freedom. It isn’t. It’s government overreach dressed up as autonomy.

Foam earplugs don’t stop wind.
Recovery doesn’t stop obsession.

Parts are in. Aurora Borealis wakes up next week.

AI doesn’t waste water. Data centers need cooling. In the Southwest, evaporative cooling works because it’s dry. Yes, it uses water. So does the building you’re in.

This isn’t environmentalism. It’s distraction.
America has a freedom problem.

I used to love Christmas. Family. Giving. Joy.

We didn’t just lose tradition, we lost meaning. And consumerism rushed in to fill the void.

Some people grow quieter with age. I grew louder.
Music. Wind. The hum of life refusing to fade.
Part II of It Goes Where I Go — a story about my dad, Judas Priest, and learning to keep the volume up.

They ask if I “rode in today.”
Yeah — yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Because my bike isn’t a toy. It’s a part of me.
It goes where I go.

We traded freedom for the illusion of safety. The founders would’ve called it tyranny.

Twenty-two days into the shutdown and Congress is still throwing tantrums. I wrote a piece about it called: Hey Toddlers: Do Your Fucking Job.
Read it, laugh, rage, share.

Coffee in Albuquerque. Breakfast date canceled because she had to “fight fascism”. I chose the throttle over the protest.

Everyone’s a badass behind a screen or a steering wheel. But take away the anonymity, the steel cage, the police safety net — and most of that tough talk evaporates.

I’ve seen -55°F winters in Minnesota. None of them touched this ride. Cold on cold on cold — spiderwebs of pain, trash bag windbreakers, and a whole lot of swearing between gas stops.

Ever been so cold your skin felt like shattered glass and your body just gave up on shivering? Try that at 100 mph. That was my Sunday last fall. New post’s live:

Do people really want me bellying up to a urinal between Paul and Chuck, with my 40D breasts proudly on display? Now who’s the fucking pervert?

America’s biggest crisis? Apparently, it’s transgender people needing to pee.

Politicians spin it. Pundits fan the flames. But we’re not trying to be a political statement — we’re just trying to live.

You can’t get mad about wild animals in your yard when you’re the one leaving food on the porch. Same with medians.
