I still dunno what she thinks about the Paganism thing; I only brought it up once really, around winter solstice 2015, and basically got an "Oh that's nice..."

Which is certainly much better than such things go sometimes! But I do, for instance, wonder what she's thinking is happnening now when I do agree to pray for folks, etc. ;)

Minor family negativity, gender 

Still, that was an awful lot of emotional labor to have to do for a parent, especially given the very basic requests like "maybe could you not deadname my partner"

Not included in the letter, thankfully: the polyamory thing or the paganism thing.

Helping my mom write a letter to explain both my gender and sexuality situation to my extended family. THAT'S a fun little bit of wordsmithing. o.o

So I'm seeing some discussion about why Mastodon isn't necessarily taking off with certain minorities (let's be honest, they mean POCs while trying to dance around the term, this place is super White asides from the apparent Japan contingent).

Here's some thoughts:

1. The whole notion of "instances" is really unintuitive. When you Google "Mastodon", you get an instance like mastodon.social, but it's not immediately apparent that M.S isn't your only option or WHY you'd want a different instance

Just had a long meander about meditation best-practices in another chat, and ended it with the phrase "Hopefully that won't brick my god-phone"

...I do the technomancy thing the other way, apparently.

Alcohol 

ought to be easy for me, I literally designed a cocktail for that, years ago. But I don't have a pic of it right now.

Oh well, gives me something to do tonight. ;)

Today was positive, but draining. Hope I sleep well. Until tomorrow, awoo-friends! 💜

The 'boost' icon being replaced with the private/DM icons is SUCH a good Mastodon UX move.

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." ;)

Minor dayjob grump regarding masculinity 

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.

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

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. :)

(I mean, that's probably a good thing. in general. Just interesting)

Oh huh, dotting a reply doesn't make it post to everyone else (Public timeline or w/e). TIL.

This was actually not a rhetorical question. ^.^

Y'know, given how much I talk about it here, I should probably put something about my magick/spirituality proclivities in my bio?

But, like, what? c.c;

Writing alternate lyrics for "You're Welcome" to be sung by Coyote:

Good Idea / Best Idea?

Annnd done. Got-all-choked-up count: 3, spirituality-feels count: lost track.

Thank y'all for your attention, this is the first time I live[whatever]ed something, and I really enjoyed it. Mastodon seems to work really well for it, I may do this again sometime!

AW YES, Lin Manuel with Maui's song in the end credits. :D
