sleeeeep tiem gnight awrrrooooo <3

and now, back to Skyrim! ~whoosh~

Nar wakes up from his perch on top of the cat tree above my head, yowls imperiously, reaches a paw and waves it in my vague direction, then curls up and goes back to sleep.

it's *almost* time for the cats' dinner, but it's their least favorite meal, so they just can't be bothered to get too worked up about it. XD

@noelle on the other hand, I never had it used against me as a serious pejorative in the past; if I had, I might well be less casual about using it now. and I'd never use it with somebody I didn't consider a nerd-buddy, or somebody who wasn't ok with it.

so for me, being greeted that way by a stranger doesn't set off any particular emotional connections one way or another. (isn't very helpful in this conversation, sorry)

@noelle Spouse and I call each other "nerd" and "dork" all the time, almost always while laughing, after one of us has made a terrible pun or done something silly. it's definitely a term of endearment between us.

the only other time I hear it said out loud is over a D&D gaming table; when the person who plays a tiefling bard that sired a half-doppelganger is calling the person who plays a half-orc barbarian that's suffering from a god-curse "nerd," you know nobody's taking it seriously.

@anthracite this is... making me seriously consider a standing desk, because... yaugh. :(

@anthracite @zebratron2084 aw fuck! D: sending both of you goodthought wishes and "augh get out of the hospital with minimal unpleasantness" hopes!

@Silviu uuugggggghhhhhhhh

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town *sends gentle warmthoughts* <3

@Austin_Dern @Terrana@tootplanet.space not everybody... but yeah, it's more frequent than y'might think. ;)

@Kistaro I'm sorry but I'm giggling hysterically about this and I really shouldn't

@Terrana@tootplanet.space me too! .... sort of it's complicated! :D

@Leucrotta ugh, that sounds really unpleasant. *sends warm goodthoughts in your direction*
