@vahnj I 💜 you and I think you are awesome, just by the way. *hugs offered*

Oh, thank gods, this year the "what to do if someone starts shooting up your workplace" video in the corporate emergency preparedness training website has a content warning AND is skippable.

Last year: Neither. >.<

Just... everyone please forgive me if I get stressed or curt or unavailable about it. I'm learning on the job here. I'm TRYING to get into a good training program for it, but the school is in a whole other reality and I'm still trying to work out how to navigate the application process successfully.

*looks back at conversations had over the past few weeks* So this is it, the part of the story where "esoteric interface consultant" (aka 'spiritworker') starts to feel like an actual second job.

It's gonna be interesting.

(This is in no part a gripe, or implying any frustration with any of you with whom I've had such a conversation with recently. I asked for this, I welcome this, it just... sure is A Thing. :))

Further idle thought: Sometimes I say 'idle thought' to mean 'subtoot'. c.c;

...When I write it out like that it seems almost self-evident.

Idle thought. Philosophical arguments often end up feeling emotionally strenuous and uncomfortably personal because people experience their axioms as part of their identity.

Also! If anyone else is a design-type individual trying to find a source for mockup user images that are not hella white, this may save you the very irritating hour I spent flipping through Flickr and stock-photo sites:

Today I learned that the HTML element that Flickr puts over images to prevent right-click downloading of them has the CSS class "facade-of-protection". How APPROPRIATE. ;)

💭 Tangent: Is it weird that I tend to wanna use "furore" to say "public upheaval" without the connotation of anger that I get from "furor?"

*googling*

Apparently not! http://grammarist.com/usage/furor-furore/

Just finished playing Night in the Woods with @neonNeptunian! It's so goooood. 💜 💜 💜

Yaaaay, title change at work finally finally finally went through. It's all updated on all the company websites even.

Finally!

I'm non-binary and AMAB, I present androgynous but identify as demi-boy and gay. Nonetheless I've dealt with a lot of body dysphoria and been lucky enough to get a lot of medical transition services.

I may (or may not!) be an outlier and a weird case, but I refuse to be sidelined or ignored.
