Just keep Ray away from the internet radio, the manic bastard keeps putting on Bruno Mars' Greatest Hits.

It's going to trigger a mutiny.

Show thread

I have a workplace where I can wear my preferred clothes, everyone's just as weird or Weirder than I am, I'm productive as Hell, I'm doing work I love, and I'm damn good at it.

Only problem is it's my job to wrangle all the Bullshit parts, in small lots, on a Decent prototyping lathe, and a Completely clapped out vertical mill, and we don't have anywhere near the tooling we need.

It's a Restaurant kitchen full of Dragons working Machine Tools.

So, I kinda forgot that when you're Genderfluid and on HRT you can still have a whole string of Guy days then fall in a Girl hole hard.

This can be embarrassing when it happens in the middle of a shift at the machine shop. All you Gender TF kink fans who got their start watching Ranma may now laugh and/or get aroused.

Before Isekai the big tropey YA genre was "chosen one" stories. With those the wish fulfillment was "You are the most important in a sea of boring people" and NOW its "You are now in a world and society that you are not only capable of supporting yourself in but thriving in. There is more danger but you have direct agency in solving these problems."

And tbh I think with the right self-awareness you could make an isekai that promotes radicalization instead of passifying via distracting escapsim.

Being a prototype machinist is actually kinda grueling work.

Machine operators get the Fully Automated Space Communism. I get the Weird Shit.

And the machines are older than I am, and they're just Cyborg 1950s machine designs. So mostly Manual.

So I'm getting all Soff looking, but also beefing up a bunch.

Oh shit I didn't know Alex Norris is non-binary! That's really cool, I'm glad their work has gotten so popular despite originally starting as a joke.

apropos of nothing specific, a PSA

You can be a man and wear dresses. You can just do that. You don't need to be non-binary, or trans, or gay, or any type of queer whatsoever, you can just be a man and wear a dress if you want. It Is Okay.

My Busted flex pipe sounds better than your four banger's soup can, fite me.

Hnnnng, Colnel.... I wanna drive fast down these narrow streets but my Continental is Dummy Thicc and the clapping of my sixteen exhaust valves is alerting the authorities!

I wish someone had told me that there's nothing stopping me from dressing like an Anime Character every damn day

@gotteslasterer@weirder.earth Oh neat, another plural spirit caller. =D

Gender 

I identify as a Hermaphrodite. This is problematic to some folks.

Physically, I'm an androgen-insensitive intersex male, on HRT and loving it.

This has Complications, on the RL, everyday gender front. I'm a Machinist, mechanic, engineer, welder... And I'm Good at those things, Steel is my Bitch.

But I'm also the Mom Friend who dresses in skirts and flower prints, reads Tarot, talks to Spirits, grew up on the flower farm and knows all the Witch Secrets.

And this is leaving Yaori out of the picture entirely, she's her own thing.

...And she identifies as a Hermaphrodite, because Goodra.

So, like, So non-binary that I've settled into a stable trinary?

HRT is changing my sexual desires a Lot.

This would be okay, if all genders had equal representation in Real Life.

As it is, I'm lusting after bodtypyes that don't have polite words to Describe without getting Clinical. On top of that, anyone With that bodytype is probably gonna have a mixed bag of pronouns, which makes Waxing Poetic a challenge.

So even the Thirsty Dragon in me is somewhat stymied, I wanna go and validate some folks with a Monster Truck, and they're surrounded by Minefields.

Totally anecdotal, but I can't help notice an apparent correlation between exercise and increased creativity but also between exercise and greater enjoyment of the creative process.

Shout out to all my plural friends who don't have a Real World existence that lets them Be who they always wanted to be.

I know a Lot of you would rather be off doing your thing, and not having to work in an office or retail place.

a white person bitching about other white people 

if another non-native person tells me they were at standing rock to excuse their racism I am going to take their face in my hands, stare them dead in the eye, and say "literally no one cares Rachel, now put the Whole Foods brand sage down and shut the fuck up"
