When a non-trans man freaks out at finding out that his date is a trans woman it's Panic! at the Cis Bro

employment, gross 

@starbreaker@octodon.social @noelle I have some Thoughts on this, but I'm about to leave for my volunteer shift of scrubbing out aluminum cages for sick wild animals. XD

trans formative experiences (+) 

early transition is kind of like spending an entire year at the optometrist

"1 or 2?" "heck i can't tell, it all still looks like a bunch of squiggles"

"1 or 2?" "agh 2 2 2, 1 is worse than no lenses and it's already giving me a headache"

"1 or 2?" "uhhhh 1 i guess?"

"1 or 2?" "2 ... wait hang on, i can see all the way down the hallway now, cool!"

@Kistaro I know, right? I wish I could figure out what part of my brain thinks "paralyzing self-loathing" is a reasonable or desirable answer to every goddamn situation and have it physically removed. :| at least the brain drugs have helped shrink it to a tiny fraction of its old size, power, and volume...

@Altruest I just stared at the image in the background of the headline for several seconds thinking "is that... a vase, with ribbons coming out of it? some kind of abstract force field effect? OH IT'S THEM KISSING" and now I can't see the vase-thing I first saw. XD

@anthracite AWESOME. especially with lots of little fiddly text with bonus details, like in-universe jokes, culture references, or dietary information that can't really be put into the narrative without Painful Exposition.

@noelle thank you, this made me cackle, I needed that. :)

@Edelwood @InspectorCaracal@tootplanet.space this makes me think of a magic system that is entirely dependent on the practitioner wearing sexy underwear.

.... in fact that would explain a *lot* about fantasy art, wouldn't it...

@hummingrain @xyzzy when I was temping as an admin assistant at Microsoft a decade or so ago, there was a "club" of--upper-tier programmers, who got together once a month to go buy cars. they'd pass around emails and have lunch meetings deciding which car they would buy, then on that day they'd go to the dealership and each of them would buy one of that kind of car, and they'd drive it for a month, then trade it in on the next car. EAT THE RICH.

@hummingrain @chr@cybre.space @DialMforMara @anthracite I think book 4 is when I gave up, personally, though I may have stuck through to book 5. after that it was just "oh... more of those? *checks wrist for nonexistent watch* nope, still don't care"

@Xkeeper the difference between cats and dragons is one of scale, not kind. =^___^=

cw: raccoons attempting major surgery 

@zebratron2084 just reading this list is making me cackle. PERFECT. I would only add: q-tips, rubber bands, stapler, staple remover, and hole punch. :D it's amazing how often you can find office supply stuff in surgical supplies... *cough*ifyou'reonavolunteerbudget*cough*

@kobold nice! I think? I hope? :D I'm not really up on what types are good... XD

@kobold looks like the hours are 11 - 2 PST, so I know what I'm doing tomorrow afternoon!

@kobold unfortunately it's only CP 234, but what the heck. XD

@kobold eeee, cute! :D I need to decide how I'm going to evolve my shiny... probably as an Umbreon, yeah. XD

@kobold I walked down to the mailbox and got a whole bunch of regulars and ONE SHINY YAAAY! so I'm happy. XD tomorrow I'm going to make a special trip out, probably to Costco, and see how many I can pick up in the given time. if I can figure out what the timeframe is!!
