Oh cool, is it #introductions time?

I'm a vaguely trans, for-sure non-binary, very gay furry critter in the Seattle area.

The important parts of my life involve dabbling at various creative pursuits (design, crafting writing, etc), being a good toy for my owner, and learning how to talk and work with the spirits and gods of a highly-personal esoteric tradition.

My day-job involves helping people and computers get along together.

I love answering questions about any of the above, so ask away!

Seriously, how do people figure out how to take care of land; helping my parents weed never prepared me for this. >.<

My afternoon:

* Putter around the house feeling aimless and cruddy

* Go for a walk, discover a secret way into the cool riverside abandoned lot down the road, much excitement and glee

* Come home, productively take measurements for the yard project, until enthusiasm tips over into an overwhelming feeling of helplessness about ever being able to do what I want with it.

* Spend the next hour or so crying, mostly.

What even does my brain thing it is doing.

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. ;)

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

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.

#fursonadrinkmeme 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." ;)

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. ^.^
