Spouse and I went to the store and got foodstuff and an Xmas tree. as far as I'm concerned I'm done Adulting for today. *flips everything off and goes to play WoW*

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

A friendly reminder: Casual bigotry isn't funny, it just allows hateful people to hide with the well meaning under 'irony'.

last night Nar slept between the wall and my pillow, right over my head. my guardian angel. <3 awoo.space/media/81tEDG7lFAmsn

Excerpt from an actual reunion of college friends (or The Confessions of a Basement Dweller):

Highly successful freelance artist friend making 50k/year: "Yeah, I live with my parents."

Me, an office manager: "Oh wow, me too... they actually like me living there."

My other friend: "'Oh thank god, me too."

My other other friend, also a manager: "The only reason I live with roommates instead of my parents is because they disowned me for being gay"

I guess this is a bigger norm than I realized.

"Your gender is ~a bee writing a novel in the air.~"

trans/nb phoba 

@shel @Siphonay@octodon.social @vahnj YES THIS. especially as someone who identifies pretty firmly as non-gendered, and already has some of the "but I'm not *really* trans" feels, I'm totally ok with cis folks making silly gender jokes. silliness and conversation about gender are *good things* in my opinion. :|

cat poop, Lyft 

no poop got out of the carrier, but the driver seemed like he was just going to sit there with all the windows down for a while, and possibly get out and walk around. 9___9 like DUD I'M SORRY, I guess *your* cat's poop doesn't stink? or maybe your cat doesn't poop at all I DON'T KNOW.

we're all home and safe, and I max-tipped the driver anyway. next time I take Nar to the vet I think I'm just going to rent a car, though. :|

cat poop, Lyft 

on the way back from the vet, as is his habit, Nar stress-pooped. a fairly large volume, too. fortunately we were close to home, because the Lyft driver went from chatting merrily about his cat to rolling down all the windows, covering his nose/mouth, and gagging. so I had him drop me off as soon as I could, and walked down the back trail, carrying Nar. fortunately I was able to remove most of the poop fairly easily, since I'd put a towel down in the carrier.

fired up my YouTube playlist to scrub StoneSparklePearlJamPilots 90's mix out of my brain, and second song on the shuffle is "Xmas At Ground Zero," and I'm singing along and cackling

joke involving cowboys & guns 

did you know there's a term in graphics programming for how far a cowboy draws their gun?

it's called draw distance

slightly more detail: social media, mental health 

@chalcedony@octodon.social :/ I support whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. I'll miss you here, but I'll keep up with you there. *nosebump*

@emilyaviva@mastodon.social will do! although he won't understand and will be howling pitifully. XD he's fine, it's just a checkup. <3
