@literorrery @ElectricKeet I shall look forward to seeing them! :D
"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."

@anthracite *bouncebouncebouncebounce* yesssssssss :D
@wizardpedia @PlanetaryKnight@witches.town hey, so is mine! :D https://awoo.space/media/OFl9w1EeMJbWhkHUN7Y
last night Nar slept between the wall and my pillow, right over my head. my guardian angel. <3 https://awoo.space/media/81tEDG7lFAmsnzLfemQ
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.
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.
