There was also some not good parts:

- I watched a good friend's life crumble apart, and finally be taken by depression. That one still stings. A lot.

- Our local social circles have felt increasingly strained, not least because of the above.

- workstress & overall mood have completely destroyed the gym routine I'd built up over years. I miss swimming & weightlifting, they were doing a lot for me.

- & of course, all of the grand What The Fuck 2017 that happened.

There was definitely still some good parts:

- I finally dived into the furry thing after a full decade of being furry-adjacent! It's been super fun being a dragon, I'm glad I did it :)

- I had several relationships develop very positively, and they're continuing to go well!

- I met a bunch of really neat people (including all y'all over here!)

- I had a great time at quite a few cons.

- I got to visit Vancouver!

- and my hair was purple all year!

2017 was a year of treading water for me, I think. Just...letting the time pass until I can change things.

I held down this job the whole time, because I knew that I needed to financially. I sat and watched uspolitics do all the shit they've done this past year.

And I kept going, and now we're here.

@HereticSoul it’s so great. the writing never stops being...whatever the hell niche it is, and I love it.

It’s really surprising that even though they call her a shapeshifter, she doesn’t have a human form and is just a dragon all the time.

Oh well. It’s probably for the better. I bet if she did they’d find some way to make it weird.

I’ve been playing a bunch of Fire Emblem Awakening after @BurritoAlPastor@twitter.com gave it to me, and would like to remind everyone that Nowi is the cutest seadragon and will also obliterate you.

I’m proud of all y’all, every one of you. You’ve made it through the year and that was no easy feat this time.

@Leucrotta that’s really cool!

I’m occasionally seeing posts lately that don’t wordwrap right on Amaroq. A line’ll just extend way off the screen with no way to view it.

It seems very recent? something an instance fork is doing maybe?

this guy also keeps nitpicking other peoples unit tests: “I could replace the function with `return the value you assert for` and it would pass”

yeah, I’m really worried about malicious implementations of my own code, dude.

over the years I’ve lost all patience for engineers who treat “code they don’t like” as “objectively wrong and broken”.

you can’t say “it’s fragile and doesn’t work” about *things which have worked for years*! even if they’re icky! even if they’re in the way of your refactoring!
