@vahnj Hmm, yah, good call. (I mean, ideally I'm not sure those all should should share a color in the first place but that's a different topic)

I do like the orange. :)

@vahnj Wait then you might have contrast problems with the white text, aaaa color is hard, this is why I stick to UX.

@forestservice PF Discord has a somewhat weird vibe for me too, FWIW? Founder effects are a thing.

Where is this awoo.space discord? ^.^

@vahnj I'd actually recommend tinting things a bit more yellow, maybe like a #ffbb00?

@Siphonay@octodon.social Source: I managed to get a non-life-eating job at a company that constantly has articles written about how life-eating it is to work there so... I must be doing something right. c.c;

(Is it possible that the "something right" is having a sort of tech-adjacent job rather than an actual coding job though)

@Siphonay@octodon.social Fortunately that's one of the things you do have some control over. A super-important thing to do in a job interview is get a feel for "Is this a place I want to work?" There ARE tech jobs that don't eat your life; lots of people who end up in the life-eating ones do it because of promise of big-money. Sounds like you're already less worried about that from what you said earlier, so just... don't get tricked, I guess. ;)

Maybe I'll start sharing daily* spiritwork/esoterica links!

This is a good article; I like how deeply it treats and considers 'chosen names' and it makes me realize I probably have bene doing a few things wrong, oops. ;)

*Frequency not guaranteed, probably more like "whenever I find something good, probably once a month or so because the esoteric-blogger world, is just as full of junk as the rest of the web." ;)

@MinUmbra Oh wow, I think I remember watching that! I'm sure it must have given me a ton of feelings.

Dear work people: Sending an "I love unicorns" message to shame people who left their computers unlock is REALLY uncomfortably gender-loaded and if anyone does it to me I will probably complain to HR.

@vahnj If you find one let me know please. :9

@vahnj Yeah, fair enough. :(

@vahnj (Like, to be clear, take this with many grains of salt, I have no idea how to do the dealing-with-family thing pretty much ever, and the only reason I ever figured out my brother was queer is because he forgot to log out of his yahoo groups on the family computer one time; he was lucky I used the computer next instead of my parents. ;))

@vahnj Yikes. *nod* Is this a kind of situation where you could privately reach out to him with a 'hey is everything cool?'

Like maybe not RIGHT after he announces he's dating a girl because, awkward, but at some point?

@vahnj Ooof, yeah, that sort of thing can be awkward and confusing, yeah. :\

(Though really if he's bi then dating a girl isn't necessarily HIDING anything...)

Heck it. 'Spiritworker-in-training'. If it raises questions, well, I like answering those sorts of questions. ^.^

@literorrery Yeaaaah all that is exactly what I fret about when I'm trying to figure out what labels to use. Also the fact that in this particular case, "spiritworker" would be the obvious standin for "alchemist" but I'm not sure I've done enough "work" at it to claim that title (yet?)

Multi-reply and clarification: This wasn't a "Do I feel comfortable doing it" (I do!) so much as a "what words do I even use?"

Lotsa folks seem to use 'witch' but I'm... not that. :)
