Is it #introduction time again? Sorta seems to be.

Hi, I'm Peggy, and I run dragon.style. If "paying $20/mo to keep it up, putting off updating it for a year, and occasionally opening the place up for new users" qualifies as "running" it.

I am a trans lady who spends most of her time drawing complicated sci-fi comics and sort of earning a living doing that via Patreon.

Adobe Illustrator has been my main medium since 2000, it's a pretty unusual choice but it works for me.

I used to do burlesque, then pole dance, as a hobby and a way to stay fit. I miss it and should find something similar again.

You may know me from elsewhere as Egypt Urnash.

My friend Maya went to Quilts UK today and got some great photos of some of the #quilts on display: twitter.com/GenevieveCogman/st :birdsite:

New day! Time to post some actual #gamedev !

The game I'm developing is called Calico. In Calico you are a magical girl running a cat cafe in a cute, magical town! You can learn more at Calicogame.com ❤️

We're working to finish a demo in the next couple months for a kickstarter!

Looks like there's another wave of people getting fed up with Twitter, so I'll open up registration here for a bit.

dragon.style/about/more

It's dark and weird and hasn't been updated in a year, but it's got 7777-character rars instead of 240-character tweets, and an admin who will happily ban any alt-right-chan instances she runs across.

and while I was writing this Nar smelled the baggie of treats in my pocket and began climbing all over me going "TREEEEATSSS??" so now they're both in the living room, looking for the treats I've scattered around. XD

Raziel had a quick vet visit for weighing and med dose adjustment, because he is a quickly-growing kitten. he spent most of the visit cavorting around the exam room, sniffing everything, getting fed treats, and purring quietly--and now he's cavorting around the house, playing with EVERYTHING and mewing happily. I'm glad to be acclimating him to positive vet visits!

TLDR: to most online bad actors, "I'll tell your mom!" is a MUCH less important factor in controlling behavior than "I can push a button and take away ALL your content and influence".

uspol, pdxpol // police disinfo 

police disinformation in the wake of the august 4 protests has been wild: first they said they opened fire because somebody threw a water bottle, then they said it was a rock, then explosives, then M-80s...

they reject that anyone was wounded by their munitions but they sent cops to local hospitals to look for injured protesters. they want the injured to come forward but nobody trusts that they won't be detained for speaking out.

Man, I loved Black Panther. That movie was absolutely amazing, the art and costume design was unparalleled, the representation put tears in my eyes.

But that movie did NOT fix race relations in the US, calm down people.

transphobia 

If someone won't answer when you ask them if they think trans women are women, they think trans women aren't women.

One of the weirdest side effects of capitalism is that it neatly debunks a lot of "paranormal mysteries".

The best (and best-known) example is the Bermuda Triangle: if there were actually an unusual number of ships and planes going down, vanishing, etc. in the Triangle, insurance rates for vehicles traveling through it would be higher than for those going similar distances but not traveling through it.

(They're not.)

oh is it time again already?

sounds like we're getting a fresh wave of folks, I guess that means it's time to repost introductions!

Another attourney working on the case may have found a family member in another state.
“We will know in the morning if the client gets bond. If he is released to his family, he will need $ for travel and a place to stay for a night or two while things get figured out. I will update you all tomorrow morning! Thanks for springing into action!”

Urgent (<24 hrs) Seattle area asylum seeker housing (pls boost) 

Are there church groups or others who might be willing and able to sponsor him so we can get him out of custody? He needs housing/basic needs and also someone with legal status who will promise to get him to court as needed. I don’t know that those need to be the same person.

Urgent (<24 hrs) Seattle area asylum seeker housing (pls boost) 

From an email:
I am representing an asylum seeker who is being held at the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac. We have a bond hearing set for Wednesday morning, but the potential sponsor has fallen through at the last minute. Client is male, Latino, no kids, and comes across to me as a sweet Boy Scout. He’s deeply religious.

Kids These Days may be surprised to learn that English is a fifth dimension beyond that which is a deep-sea fish. It lives up to the point to get myself into trouble. #LAMP is fine but other stacks are fine too; I'm a day gdsagfdshdagds
