@rey @multiple_creatures With the tails, I'd have thought otters were water foxes. Seals would be more like ice borks, with walruses filling in as ice boofs.

GRS recovery day 3 (+) 

@makyo I would love to see and also to share if you want conparison shots. I have my old healing progression that I'd be glad to offer as well.

Reading sources, open question 

@KawaSeadrake "All over."
I start with the subject, do a broad analysis of the literature, and see who gets quoted a lot by others. Those become my foundational texts, but I also do a lot of discussion and talking about stuff with others, salon-style.

@Fuego Something happen with the new date, sis?

There's still AC to look forward to....

@Momentrabbit I don't want to be some predatory shrieky-bird. Down that path lies Mordana and the old bad boundary management path. That didn't work and it wouldn't have worked here.

I stood my ground. I defined the limit of what I deemed acceptable behavior and I stayed engaged and present until the other party withdrew. It went further than any confrontation hge as in years and th at rattled me, but I survived it. I can do this.

I just may need lots of recovery time afterwards.

Dirty Computer 

@KawaSeadrake Its absolutely your right to be you, what and whomever that is.

60mg of relax and hide in the nest for a while.

Part of me wishes I'd recorded the confrontation so I had evidence of the assault.
Part of me knows if I had that I'd watch it obsessively and damage myself.

Thank you to @adeptomega for picking me up.
Thank you to my polycule for supporting me.
Thank you my boss for being understanding of the human condition despite the demands of late-stage capitalism.
Thank you to the two people on the bus that spoke up in my defense.
Thank you to the person who came up to me at Convention Place and said I didn't deserve that.
Thank you to everyone who spoke up here.
Thank you all for listening and striving to be better.

@KoBunny I'm hiding in the bathroom at Freshy's for now. The immediate panic is passing as the adrenaline fades. I'm just holding out for after the crash.

Gross (CW: Slurs) 

@literorrery I'm safe. I'm physically unharmed, just deeply shaken and in need of some calming focus. I don't have my full toolkit here, and I wouldn't use some of it at work anyway, but I could use some downtime to chew through this.

Gross (CW: Slurs) 

@literorrery I brushed the boot aside -- yes, touching without consent, it was self-defense -- and said, trying not to crack, that Ranty had anger issues to resolve.

Ranty shrieked again and proceeded to directly and intentionally misgender me, insult my weight, attack my plumage, and threaten me with bodily harm before standing up and storming off the bus proclaiming they'd had enough of this shit and were going to go smoke their blunt.
