@literorrery That makes sense. It sounds like I have the opposite problem, a lot of the mindset that I find important and vital to existence-as-I-want-it-to-be is all too easy for me to simply forget when I'm too engrossed in quotidian banality. What I desire is a maximalist approach; I've found myself really upset lately when I thing about, for instance, how rarely I find myself daydreaming, these days.

@literorrery Yeah, I suppose my approach is more the latter, that it's part of the ritual; if it's meaningful action as part of the Work, it's ritual. To do anything else, to say ritual != action, reads to me as approaching an uncomfortably dismissive dualism.

@literorrery Fair enough. I'm just a bit sensitive about that sort of argument because it bears a lot of similarity to the train of thought that in my case didn't do much other than bolster my internal censor and turn ecstasy into obligation.

@literorrery But, I will admit, I don't know the full context here.

@literorrery I think this depends a LOT on how one defines 'ritual' and also feels like it sneers in the direction of anything but the psychological paradigm.

Just to show off a bit more, here's the eventual plan for the finished design: https://awoo.space/media/kx8_IEi8topM8N24QIo

This whole project is intimidating and exhilarating and I'm glad I'm all inspired by it and stuff because OMG using physical media is scary.

Iiiiii don't wanna work
I just wanna paint on my drum all day

Uuugh I can't even do the "wear dark colors to hide curves" thing even

WTB water-cooled chest binder or something, PST. >.<

Yaaaay, today I have to choose between avoiding overheating and avoiding chest dysphoria. 💩💩💩

Hey postfurries, I think someone at NASA is on to us. ;)

Wow. Lots of folks way into tentacles. Not that surprising. I mean, me too. ;)

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Knots are excellent. ;)

@green That sounds actually pretty similar to a thing I've fantasized about involving two rows of tentacles of descending size...

Wait why I am I doing tech career discourse here, that's not what Mastodon is for! Subject change time!

What is your favorite fantasy genital configuration? Include sketches and color swatches if necessary. ;)

@ginsterbusch@mastodon.art Oh yeah, okay, I can get behind that. That sounds a lot like why I steered toward UX myself, I actually still tend to code a fair bit (Prototyping > static images, most of the time!) but 'designer' fits my approach a lot better.

This is not bagging on front-end devs at all, this is lamenting:

1) the ability for something like React to allow folks to Lego something together without really knowing what's going on underneath, and

2) The above making companies think they can back-fill front-end positions with other devs because 'it's so easy!'
