pokemon sword shield, mild side content spoiler
@chr There is a Pokejob that calls for *30* dragon type Pokemon, so this might have been the best decision after all.
Ignoring the fact that now you’re surrounded by dragon types, which is already a good decision. *nodnodnod*
request for trans-friendly press contact in Seattle
Can anyone in the Seattle area recommend trans-friendly press contacts to talk to? I may have a lead on discrimination by government employees for them to look into.
Not immediate or urgent, but I want to be able to pass these contacts along if they’re needed.
dream log
It was at this point that, as all dreams do, things went sideways based on snatches of half-remembered popular media. I think a crew was sent to clear the snow and disavow the existence of snow drakes (etc). It morphed into a B movie plot by the time I woke up.
So the first part is definitely better.
dream log
Dreamed that a rather large ice wyrm had settled in in our forest. It took out a few trees and delighted itself in chasing the local squirrels and mice without harming them, indiscriminately leaving a patchwork of snow and splintered trees in its wake.
We couldn’t figure out what to do about this turn of events. We’d just about run out of ideas when its Mother returned, scooping it up like a mewling cub.
We parlayed with her to bring snow just a little earlier this year. She obliged.
The dragon clung to the high branch, whimpering loudly.
The knights were perplexed; this is not what they had expected when called out to deal with a Dragon Problem. But it explained why they were instructed to bring a sturdy ladder.
Sir Gwen volunteered, removing her armor and climbing up to coax it down.
The rest stretched out a net in case they fell.
She inspired just enough bravery that it climbed down by itself.
The ladder helped.

@troodon Thank you for writing this. 💜
I don’t know if you follow her, but Xeni has also been writing a lot about this on birdhellsite lately, and it’s been balm for the soul.

@thamesynne @wigglytuffitout @melissasage Saaaaame, and I got a chuckle out of this.
The drama is legendary. But it was a hell of a lot easier to swallow without regular injections of bot-campaign-pushed, bad faith nihilism that I do not miss from corporate media. And I’m grateful to instance admins for not letting that fly here.
