This feels like poetry. As I understand things, that makes it poetry. Sure. why not.
.o0O(Nah.)
What happens to the the toots untooted?
How do the bytes feel to be retreating?
The lighting sand was at your command,
but
you stay your hand.
But it was there, waiting,
a hope for connection, some meaning,
from brain down nerve to finger to the, the, the inherited Interface that has the potential, the power, to reach every. mind. on. the planet...
and cmd (or ctrl) + a delete/(or x if your on mobile)
and another universe dies.
Well, maybe it should've. We'll never know. I wasn't casting your spell.
Your reason was yours, cause so is your power. Don't let it go your head.
⛔ A conviction
They will never test enough. They will never care enough.
Most political history taught today can be summed up with the phrase "These white men are dangerous."
And they keep clawing over themselves, keeling themselves, each other, and everyone else to prove it, like we don't believe it.
I'm tired. They all should lick each other's asses and die.
My Trans Experience (+, 0, ~)
Turns out Dr R needed my name for a very specific reason. I now have her written and signed word that I am a "Legit and medically treated trans woman"
Name change and gender marker change is now closer.
My Trans Experience (+, 0, ~)
Told my doctor my name, because she is happily going to help me out with my name change operations. Cause I want to do them soon. I've been worried about doing them this year, because who knows if I'll be allowed to do it later. And I haven't been looking forward to manually refreshing my PII over the whole internet. I've been a lot of places!
But. I'm not going away. I'm slowly following the "come out to family" quest line, and if I start on the "Come out to work" questline, I can maybe stack the anxiety and uncertainty debuff to shorten its duration, instead of having to do full effects for both spread out over time. Might save me some wear and tear in the long rung, because i'm an emotional labor sprinter. I don't have the endurance or reserves for an emotional labor marathon.
Is this maturity?
When people are excited about something, and ask if I want to see it or hear about it, I don't need to waste time telling them "you don't have to ask me if I'm interested, you can just share". They are asking for my consent and it's just faster to say yes.
I'm a smart pupper, but damn I feel slow sometimes.
we need to stop incentivizing risk-taking for its own sake, and stop mandating profit for all undertakings
I want a continuous procedurally generated turn-based X-Com-like. Give me a squad and a terrain treadmill loaded with enemies.
Move from fight to fight, replenishing supplies from the fallen and hidden caches, rescuing survivors, civilians, and reinforcements. Have vehicle sections or powerups. Call in an artillery barrage or an air strike if you get pinned down.
Get messages about artifacts or objectives, and have to make a call about which you pursue.
I call it Fireteam Endless
Post-COVID plans
2020 and its related misery will /not/ last forever. Here are some things I am planning once we can be outside and with people again:
-Getting high in a park with my boyfriend.
-Fixing my bike and biking to the bustop to go to work
-Swimming. Oh my god, swimming. I want to murder the politicians that fucked up everything and cancelled All-Gender Swim this summer.
I'm probably still gonna wear my mask though. I kinda like it, actually. I wish there was a really good and easy way of ordering custom masks so I could specify ear loop length and style, face shield size and design, filter ports, metal nose strip, and exterior graphic.
(I'd settle for being able to get something like a PoC Ahegao mouth, tho.)
re: Contract, Conssumation, Celebration (CW: Parents, relationships, marraige, anniversaries) updating
Called mom after work last tnight to let her know I watched the stream. We bantered for a little bit. Got called a wonderful son, again.
And then I asked: "Mom, are you okay with me? I know there's at least one more conversation we need to have, but I'm not ready for it.
and she said "I'm working on it. Take all the time you need."
Hard to read that. Not sure if she's actually struggling or if she's waiting for me to get my thumb out and just have the name/pronoun declaration.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
