I cannot express in words how incredibly inspiring it is to see a trans woman on stage as the lead singer of a band screaming out lyrics to a couple thousand moshing fans singing in chorus. I'm literally in tears tight now.
@xurnami @Oneironott many dragons are inherently shape-shifty, at which point gender is entirely a matter of convenience, personal preference, and whatever suits the current situation. ;)
@egypturnash I remember seeing a show about mountain goats that said for all the happy goats you see frolicking around on sheer cliffs, there's invariably a few that slip... and the documentaries usually don't show that part, because it's pretty rare, and invariably fatal. :/

OMG I just realized something
Hugh Jackman is an alien infiltrator in a terrible disguise
I mean how else can you explain naming yourself "Jack Human" and then being all "oh shit that's too obvious I better spoonerize that"

I would prefer we not have a recommendation system. I'm not sure what problem it's purporting to solve. It might be nice for individuals to be have a permanent "follow list," but presumably that's the list of people they're following. As such, the better solution might be an easier way for people to get their "friends-of-friends" lists to see who they're not following that their friends are.

it's good for connecting folks new to the platform. there's a legitimate, good reason for it.
but make it opt-in. shoving people into the limelight without their consent is bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

@kara_dreamer@witches.town making connections between Undertale and your life fills you with determination!

PSA on the Equifax breach:
You can enter most anything into their "check if I've been breached" thing and it will say you've been breached.
The whole site they set up is just a scam to force people into signing up for their "identity protection service." You get a year free but you better believe they'll start charging you for it after that, and the opt-out process is never easy.
Don't buy into it. Just keep an eye on your credit report and credit/bank account statements.
also I just spent a half-hour floating in a pool pretending to be an alligator. I don't think anybody else in the pool got the reference. I didn't really care. it was FANTASTIC.
@chalcedony@octodon.social wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeomgomgomgomgomgweeeeeeeeee
WELP.
evidently Irma is supposed to get here Monday morning, but by then it should ~only~ be a category 2. Disneyworld is staying open! and we'll be here! it'll be a vacation to remember! o_________o wish us luck!
I have taken pictures of so many birds omg
I'd never even heard of a bird called an "anhinga" before, but they're all over the place here. also I need to take pictures of the abundant trash chickens. :D
@ThatDamnCat there was just one, it only had one foot (the other was a stump) but it was very well-fed. XD
saw a least bittern! and I think a grackle. my spellcheck is being a butt with all these bird names.
given my thing with Thoth, I'm endlessly pleased at the abundance of ibises here. also I spotted one of the lizards doing a red throat display!
oh and Disney stuff, yey.
had a close encounter with an ibis, who was just hanging out on a walkway. TRASH CHICKEN
TINY CUTE LIZARDS EVERYWHERE. ON THE SIDEWALKS. ON THE LIGHTPOSTS. IN THE BUSHES. -EVERYWHERE-.
seriously I might die of cute tiny lizard overload. also saw a snowy egret and a great blue heron just hanging out in a ditch. and LIGHTNING.
now sleep. :D
in Orlando! yeah I know about the hurricane, we're keeping an eye on it. it's about the same temperature but less ash & more water. I've already seen shovel-tailed grackles & an anhinga!!
re:lbt--I recognize that quote, it's from "Art and Fear," which I unhesitatingly recommend to anybody who does art of any kind. it's a small, dense, amazing book.
@chalcedony@octodon.social waugh. *empathyhugs offered*
