This is why I have NO tolerance for the jackasses who say “You were mean to me and that made me alt-right”. Get the FUCK out of here with that absolute bullshit

And I think I've figured out my mechanics! Or at least a general concept of them. Need to do a SHIT-load of prototyping and development work. This might be too ambitious.

But I'm the girl who tries to play a symphony flawlessly on an instrument the first time i pick it up. I've always been the "All go, no quit, go big, or go bigger" kind of person. Did 7 piercings AND my first tattoo all on the same day. Doing AAA mechanics for my first (solo) game is totally how I do.

So... went looking back through my design documents and holy shit did i make this really white and straight.

Time to be like Rebecca Sugar and make it GAYER!

And like Ryan Coogler, and make it BLACK AF

Main character's parents used to be Liam Neeson and Signourney Weaver. Now: Janelle Monae, and Angela Basset.

Fuck it. Gonna make a game. I've been thinking about this idea for...16 years. Time to stop fucking around.

Trans PoC asking for help, Boosts OK 

Hey, so I figured out that I don't need to feel bad about using the internet for its intended purpose: the sharing of information.

So, here's my asks to Trans PoC Masto:

1: How much did it cost you for facial hair removal, and what sort of procedure worked for you? Laser, electro, chemical, or do you just shave constantly?

2: What're your wig recommendations? This is new territory for me and I need more intel.

3: Does anyone have a good resource on reversing or treating going bald? Wigs are a pain in the ass, and not the most comfortable yet for me.

4. Can you share some starter makeup tutorials?

Emotionally Compromised Pt. 3 ( + ) CW: External link, Youtube link 

Music this time: We Are Who We Are - Vixy and Tony. @Soreth shared this with Gateway Station last night. And I knew I needed to learn how to play it. vixyandtony.com/lyrics_we.html

It's Alright - Mother Mother. @mawr is totally to blame for this. I've heard this song precisely three times so far. The first time, I had to have them pull over and stop the damn car cause I couldn't handle being a passenger in a moving vehicle for about 20 minutes afterwards

Mystery Midweek Movies After Action Report: Bound (1996) 

Oh heck. This movie is way less unsubtle than I remembered. Visually gorgeous, incredibly paced. tightly written and edited, and just fucking hot in a way that I had forgotten about. I can totally see how it could've convinced even Hollywood to give Lana and Lilly all the money for whatever they wanted to do next.

And then they proceeded to influence pop-culture in general, and MOVIES (all of them released since) in specific forever.

Two trans siblings.

I fucking love that.

Day job, boss, accomodations (+,+,+) 

So about once a month, my boss sends me a meeting invite for a 1 on 1 check in. The subject is usually something like "$Orthosona/$boss_Name 1:!" with no context in the invite body.

Needless to say, the lack of information was a VERY reliable way of stressing me the fuck out and basically filling up all my emotional buffers with dread, anxiety and worry.

So I asked him to change the invite contents a little, provide some more context and make the subject a little less... unpersonalized.

Today, I got an invite for "$orthosona and $boss_name friendly check-in time" with an invite message of "Just want to meet to see how things are going and generally catch up!"

being heard and having my needs remembered and accommodated for took a lot of anger and frustration i was having this morning from other work stuff and just... disappeared it.

My boss is as much of one of the good ones as you can have in a boss. I'm happy to work for him.

"But Kos, that's not punk!"

Fuck you it's 2019. Being wholesomely into self care and supporting that in others is Punk now.

I don't want to work today. I want to do projects. My projects. I've got a deck roof to engineer, a battlebot to build, a new desk to engineer.

I miss using my hands to create.

CW: Forbes.com link, Reality ensues, science is cool, but sometimes it kills some wonder. 

I was doing some research to try and remember where I was going with a story I was writing and found that the reality of something I thought was really fucking awesome turns out to be completely useless. Like most of my life, and humanity in general.

Hey, if anyone gets worried about a sudden string of supernova looking things, I'm just blowing off some steam and fighting depression in the Asteroid belt. Disregard all alarms and warnings.

And youtube is just fucking broken for me. Even with my extensions turned off. And I seem to be the only person on the planet with what I'm seeing. I hate being special sometimes

Spent this weekend in the wilderness. Spend all of Saturday full on girl mode. Felt good. Sucks that I have to go back to work today.

Open for encouragement (+) 

I know you are struggling, but hang in there. I believe in you. And you are special and loved.

I wish to snuggle all of the Dynamax Growliths. Bring them to me in an orderly fashion.

Question for PoC/Black nerds on Masto. Childhood microagressions. Boosts OK 

Did anyone else ever get called an Oreo by other black kids cause they thought you were too white?
