“Just getting out of bed is an adventure for a ✨plush✨” -Mawr

Adjustment 

It's strange, and yet not, how quickly my SOs have switched references for me. I updated the board to "Orrery" yesterday and almost instantly everyone swapped over.

th' buni isn't gone. she may become like Elbey, another self into which I tap as the need arises, rather than a baseline expression of self. I'm still feeling out the edges.

Selfie, eyes, bad framing 

This lens flare has been following me since I got here.

"Shit" "Post" 

I'm fourth-dimensionally non-binary. It only looks like I'm female in profile shots that don't capture the evolutionary history of self in the frame.

*shakes out train* There. Let's do this for a while.

The Work Continues. 

This has been very therapeutic. It has also been very disorienting. I think th' buni needs a long nap in the hutch. I'll be taking over for her for a while.

Sometimes, in the course of healing, you have to put weight on an injured body part. It won't be pleasant, but it's part of healing.

The Ongoing Saga 

I have grabbed a Diet Dr Pepper as an "emergency bad-for-me choice" that's less likely to actually cause long-term bodily harm. Still bad, but less bad than more raw sugar (in theory).

The Ongoing Saga 

Back-to-back calls from a director at Anthem and a benefits senior manager at the top-level parent company. External review at Anthem triggered. Request for "full list of people who have accessed Keet's case and papedrwork" triggered. Internal "advanced medical support request" from top-level parent triggered.

Minimum timeline for relief: six weeks.
Candy bars snagged for emergency consumption: five.
Candy bars actually consumed: zero (abandoned on coworker's desk)

Stories I shouldn't write 

Postmodern urban fantasy about a mage that invokes corporate brands like goetic demons on behalf of petitioners suffering from their companies' actions.

Skip if you like Rick & Morty 

These teardowns of the Rick ‘n Morty fandom never get old for me melmagazine.com/rick-and-morty

Politics, Speedrunning, Shitpost 

Trump speedran the new WR on National Election (US edition) any%:
* nonstandard inputs that made no sense but didn't violate game constraints.
* underflows to maximize rankings
* damage boosts off of enemy attacks
* i-frame exploitation
* state corruption through Facebook minigame
* looking at his Cabinet and backers, it's clearly tool-assisted.
* Mueller's investigation is the political verification on original hardware.

The Ongoing Saga 

And most of this came unprompted.

And yes, he said "when," not "if." He was really frank with me about what he thought my odds of success were. Which he also thought was terrible.

I like him. I'm gonna miss him.

The Ongoing Saga 

It's always great fun when the HR rep suggests using the employee assistance program to sue the company insurance provider.

Even better, he said America sucks, the corporate insurance provider sucks, the parent company sucks for forcing us to use them, and he'd consider it a sign of great personal courage and strength if I went and found a new job to take care of my family, which is a fucking crime because I have a positive rep and he knows the business will suffer when I leave.

TIL 

The eponymous "tang" of Tang is because of tangerine flavor.

I've been drinking this stuff for forty years, and I only figured this out.

Real Talk, Politics, Paranoia 

Ever since finding out about theverge.com/2018/3/20/1714248, I've had a twinge every time Telegram updates. This is doubly uncomfortable every time the only thing it says is "Bug fixes and minor improvements" in the description with no link to a code review. "Bug fixes and minor improvements" is the tech version of thoughts and prayers.

How's sticker use in Matrix/Riot/Signal? =x.x=

She calls you her girlfriend. *squee* *blushes*
