Also had to research why dates were getting weird when read from a certain system. Turns out the database stores them in a Julian-Gregorian calendar and the program we use to read uses a proleptic Gregorian calendar. This means the date 0001-01-01 in the source is converted to 0000-12-30 and then we get a "date out of range" error since dates require a positive year value.

Hey, anyone familiar with Amazon Cloudformation stuff out here able to review this submission?

Another week coming up where I am required to hide from wildfire smoke. Joy.

what if every time a snake poked its tongue out it made a soft “pthtbhthbt” sound

ambivalent thoughts on gender identity and gender politics 

I don’t know how much of my gender identity is “just” a rejection of the horrible, violent, antisocial demands of masculinity, which I was always too emotional and physically weak to meet. I believed adults who taught children that hostility and violence is unacceptable, so I was rejected by my peers.

I continue to question my gender because I don’t trust that it’s “real”, not just resentment for my gender role.

sarcastic anti-transphobic take 

Spending my entire life desperately wanting not to be male and then identifying myself as agender as soon as I met someone else who did the same so I realized it was an option was *totally* a rapid-onset disorder brought about by social pressure to embrace transgenderism (in the early ‘00s), yeah, of course

I attached a squeaky mouse toy to the doorknob of the office with a shoestring and it has been squeaking nonstop for about ten minutes now #KittenThings

Dammit, the wildfire smoke isn’t done yet. PNW folks, keep watching air quality reports,and go outside and exercise whenever you safely can - that’s going to mean two mile walks in the middle of TI8 in yellow/orange air quality, for me. Time to dig up a phone app for indoor no-equipment limited-space workouts so I don’t spend another week inactive, it’s not good for me.

So since I had to officially quit my retail job, now is a great time to remind peeps that I have a Ko-Fi and a Patreon in case you're so inclined to support my art!

It’s hazy out here and smells like ashes again. :(

I’ve spent so long hanging around furries on the Internet I’ve just realized I need to invent a humansona for pseudonymous but vaguely furry-hostile places

Nintendo headcannon 

Wario is genuinely filthy rich because of the effectiveness and efficiency of his greed, and modern Mario Kart and the entire Mario Sports series are just things he paid for out of pocket to get his hikikomori brother out of the house for once

Redmond feels normal again instead of a miserable volcanic hellscape.

The air is breathable again and it’s amazing
