Identity; plurality 

I've been thinking lately, I need to train myself out of something.

Specifically, when someone says "you're a bird" or similar, my response is usually "part of the time, yes," because I still want my other selves to be acknowledged. But that also gives the impression that I'm only one of them at a time.

I am a phoenix, and a kobold, and an otter. At the same time, even if only one /usually/ fronts. All of these are true, without contradiction.

"You're a phoenix." "Yep!"

Terms of endearment for sea critters:

-Gillfriend
-Bouyfriend
-Cuddlefish
-Coral Pal
-Ane-mine
-Datefin'd

Every so often I stumble on bits and pieces of memory from the only two times (thus far) that I've been to Burning Man. 2006 and 2007, specifically.

For example, this artist, who is apparently still doing large-scale installations all over the world: atlasobscura.com/places/the-pa

I know of him through this structure, which I got to wander around inside during this particular Burning Man...and also got to watch it burn down, which was nothing short of awe-inspiring. arnequinze.com/en/projects/det

If you know any trans, intersex, genderqueer, or otherwise full-of-genders folks who have been affected by the California wine country fires, please direct them to the Trans Disaster Relief Fund - found here: tdrfund.us

I shall continue to hope that I won't need to turn to them myself.

Casual reminder: California's wine country is still on fire and the rich fuckers aren't the only ones affected - they just think they are.

If you've got any cash to spare, donations to local charities would be appreciated. If you don't feel like googling for one, here's the one I recommend: redwoodcu.org/northbayfirereli

Gender PSA:

Some really useful Q+A about medical stuff, that is very hard to otherwise learn on your own!

I sketched a thing! 

I'm trying to learn to sketch/draw again. It's been a while, and I'm a little out of practice, so hey, having a reference to use is sometimes a good way to start.

This card art from Magic the Gathering was what recently woke my mad science self back up, so I definitely wanted to put Lai in that situation instead. chrisrallis.deviantart.com/art

So, definitely still a WIP and all, but what I've got from these last 4-ish hours: awoo.space/media/ZomSUzD_4OkpY

A holiday for synthetics, especially electric-powered ones:

Ampsgiving.

Characters and plots of mine are mentioned a few times, there. :-P

Current mood: gleefully lost in old internet things. My first internet experiences, actually.

This article sums it up pretty well. kotaku.co.uk/2016/02/02/secret

And recently I found the actual form that kicked it all off, which is hella postfurry in places. web.archive.org/web/1999021005

California fires 

So, uh. The two fires closest to where I live have consumed nearly 9,500 acres of land together.

If you can spare any cash and want to help, I urge you to donate to charities in the affected areas: Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino counties. I personally can vouch for the Redwood Credit Union Community Fund, as it's run by the credit union I've been a member of since I was a teenager and they have never once tried skeezy banker bullshit on me. rcu-community-fund.squarespace

Birdsite meme 

Hmmm. I'm gonna do three for the three.

Kobold:
-Fract OST
-Rez
-Talos Principle

Otter:
-Fallout 4
-Teslagrad
-Infra

Phoenix:
-Myst (series)
-Journey
-Oxenfree

@neonNeptunian

Oh yeah... that's the good stuff.

[[imagine that meme with the emoji and capitalization every other letter, because I'm too lazy to actually do it]]

Help, I'm too gay!

Well no, I'm just stuck watching Tony Award Openings from the last few years, mainly the ones from Neil Patrick Harris.

This one, 'Bigger', is pretty great: youtu.be/apbnAHshuIM

But then, so is this earlier one, which is all about saying "It's not just for gays anymore!": youtu.be/3BHyfYiBt5o

Some young kids playing D&D in my store referenced "Jorts", and I'm very confused whether they're actually on Mastodon or if that meme was imported. Or if that's just the name people use. :-)

@forestservice There are some midway options. I know someone who got the outer bits reconstructed into a vagina, but without the inner cavity. No dilation needed afterward, and healing was faster.
But they still had to go through all the same sort of process.

I'm starting the process next year, and I don't look forward to the heavily binary nature of it.

Dorky gender terms 

I've seen a lot of cute nicknames for HRT, but a lot of them seem to focus on the pills. I'm doing E injections myself, and this morning I came up with some dumb names for it.

"TF serum" = Trans-Femme -or- Transformation. (Estrogen)

"TM serum" = Trans-Masculine -or- Transmogrify. (Testosterone)
