@mawr We have a full CI/CD setup. Everything runs on the master branch but is gated for release based on tags. It's so we can push as much crap as we like to side branches but only master-merges get auto-promoted from GitHub to our staging environment. This app doesn't have a full dev environment because of the nature of the project.

Doot-doot-doo... commitin' code directly to master 'cause everyone else on my team's out today....

BIAS THIS FOR ACTION, DEVVERS! :middle_finger_clw_b2:​

(( Under ninety-nine percent of circumstances, this is a terrible move, but there's nobody around who can tell me if my code's good and I can only really test it if it's in staging. I've validated my rollback plan and prod is disconnected in my pipeline. I may take a cavalier attitude at times but I'm still a professional. ))

@ElectricKeet I'm going to find a use for them, so help me. I __will__ find a reason to have them installed.

Maybe they'll end up as variable names in the Python code my coworker keeps pestering me to write for him.

@ElectricKeet Dumped the whole zipfile into ~/.fonts, letting Ring Zero sort it out.

Doot-doot-doo... installin' 1.1Gb of fonts on my system 'cause it can't find one glyph...

7) As a creator of "fictional" "characters," I'm going to start by saying it would be cheating to declare any of my own works in the list of eligibles. I want to meet Rotwang. I want to get to know him before his breakdown. I want to document his techniques. I want to understand his breakthroughs. And I want, just maybe, to try to nudge him off the path of "can implies should" that led to so much suffering. Though, if I did, maybe Metropolis wouldn't have fallen, and it needed to fall.

6) Writer. Author. Crafter of words and worlds, creator of dreams that others choose to inhabit. Essayist on matters magical, spiritual, literary, and ethical. To get paid enough for... this... that I could get away from the lightning songs and still bring others with me.

5) I think @Soreth said it best: "Always move closer to the truest you." That doesn't mean that "you" is necessarily singular, or that truth is externally measurable. We must all decide for ourselves what our truest selves looks like. Keep swinging on the spiral. Keep rising towards the light. Be honest with yourself about who you are, who you want to be, and where you want to go. If you don't know how, look for those who you think are better at being themselves and ask for help.

4) Right now, my biggest future anticipation is retirement. I've had a twenty-year plan -- now more like forty -- in the works since just after college on how to get to not having to work for a living safely and some idea of how many people I could bring with me into that state. As my resources have grown, the world has collapsed out from under me and the number of people needing help has incrased, but the plan is still largely intact. It's just longer-term now than it was.

3) I value what others think of me to the extent that I think their opinions are valuable. I don't care what most people think of me, because if I did, I'd have been unable to transition in Texas in 2000 at 194cm and 155kg. I'd have been unable to survive being tagged as gay at age ten in 1984. I couldn't and can't afford to care what randos think of me. I value what the beings and entities and minds around me that I respect think of me, regardless of whether they're people.

2) The best answer I can offer is that my loved ones have inspired me more than I can put into words. The vast majority of my relationship with @ElectricKeet has been her trying to get me to be A Good Buni(tm), and all of my mates and friends have given me reason to want to do better in life.

I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Mitchell, the first person to really show me magic from the outside, even if I would outpace his lessons before either of us realized I had.

1) "buni" originated from a story I will never write, of somebody who attempted suicide and suffered brain damage from deoxygenation. Her partner opted for an animal conversion to make her easier to care for at home. "buni" was part of her fifty-word vocabulary she kept at the start of the story. Over the course of the plot, she recovered her faculties but opted not to return to humanity, having found in her new role the comfort and safety humanity couldn't offer.

Oh, sure. Let's do a thing. https://awoo.space/media/LvDtSPWpXfetZcyZ4wc

@Momentrabbit *offers coffee and pettin's* *sits beside and nosewiggles*

@BinaryVixen899 I also did data flow diagrams showing architecture component interconnectivity.

@BinaryVixen899 What flavor of UML diagram? I designed sequence flow diagrams for the main body of my code workflow as part of the architecture review for a new service in the last four months.

@KawaSeadrake What line of work? I can get in touch with the folks I know who've got openings.
