Anyway, that probably sounds more maudlin than I actually feel right now. Mostly I'm just feeling like a rather silly object right now, for letting something like that slip.

Also I guess have another piece of furry erotica to add to my "this book fundamentally improved my identity/worldview" list.

What does it say about me, about my needs, that I can forget for so long how important it is to be to embrase being a toy, being artificial, having a purpose, being useful?

But when I do finally remember, what does it say about me, the eeling of rightness and clarity and completeness and hope that returns to my life once I realize it was missing, and reach for it again, how easily the thoughts of what I was made for just come together in my mind.

@forestservice Yeah I got one of these last week myself. :\ *hug*

Merging my furry and professional profiles like a boss, right here.

Aaaah I just noticed my first Mastodon PR got accepted today! \o/ https://github.com/tootsuite/joinmastodon/pull/8

Thanks @Gargron!

(And then we came up with a whole bunch of text changes throughout the rest of today. Oh well, more commits to come!)

@literorrery *hugs*

@body@mastodon.social At this point I could write a guide to gender with the requisite amount of snark and shade. ;)

@Fuego Hyper-Light Drifter looks beautiful but it's not full of soft glowy animal people I want to make out with, so, yes. Different aesthetic. One that I like, but not the one I was talking about there. :)

@ElectricKeet @Fuego Well if we're talking pure aesthetics here, I LIKE pixels, but they don't actually push this particular button? Sorry. ^.^;

I mean don't get me wrong, if we're making a game I'm totally in, but.. yeah :)

Thoughts from a conversation in another venue:

MOBAs and Team Shooters seem to have ended up with a pretty clear shared aesthetic: Stylized, glowy, diverse morphology (read: Cool animal people and robots and stuff). This aesthetic is REALLY APPEALING to me, but I cannot play the games worth a darn. I wonder if this will ever spread beyond those genres.

Basically: When can I get a game with cute glowy furries that I can actually play? c.c;

Multiculturalism 👍: When the only thing I'm anxious about when mentioning my spiritual observances to my boss is the possibility of a philosophical debate about the differences between his polytheism (Hindu) and mine.

Beltane offering, gathering, and ritual, with many awesome folks. Thank you all!

Why the fuck does no one at two different hardware stores know what a firewood rack is? They sell firewood. It rains all the time here. What is going on?

*gets a query about if I'm willing to talk about my experiences being NB-trans at $company to another trans UX person who's considering moving over*

"Oh cool I am recognized both as a designer and a gender-doer!"

*googles the other person, finds they are very much more impressive than me*

"I am a pile of unaccomplished garbage, please find me a bin to hide in"

@Fuego I like... almost kinda am? I mean, 'this story turned serious real fast' is... a thing they do. But this one was pretty fucking egregious.

@Fuego Yeeeeah, I found that really... concerning. :\

@KawaSeadrake Hey for what it's worth I'm probably likely to be making inquiries about that whole chest issue before you do, so you might have at least one trailblazer. ;)
