@Aradia@mastodon.social @xurnami I dunno! I was just gonna show up at around the starting time and wander around. :D

I bought a bunch of glowing wrist bands that I plan to hand ou to any who want them. ^^

@adeptomega I didn't think about this earlier, but gosh but those are coming up fast! :D

@xurnami I almost have trouble keeping up with the feed here, though I probably don't check things as often as others do. ^^;

@xurnami That's one of the reasons I left Twitter, honestly. It was one of the best decisions for my mental health I think I've made in quite a while.

The community here isn't the same as the community there, though there's some overlap; I like the vibe here so much better. ♥️

Seattle locals 

@xurnami lusiolight.com/!!!!

I'm gonna go! And I think a bunch of other folks will be going, too :D

Anxiety update 

@xurnami *gentle hugs* I've been hiding from the news for a while now. It's just gotten to be to hard on me to watch all of this.

@Sparrow I still have a backup CD somewhere in storage from my main computer in 2003.

Every few years I pop it in and gape in awe at the time that's passed since then. So much has changed.

@zetasyanthis *just hugs tight with you*

*two dragons now stuck together in a perpetual solidarity hug*

Don't read this - homophobia, death 

@vahnj Wow, that page won't even load with my tracking and malware blocking extensions loaded.

I think I'll skip reading this one for at least two reasons, but that sounds awful ;~;

Now I guess I'll be determining what our next steps will be. Kelly's new job offers insurance thankfully -- and seems like it might last for a long while, so maybe that's the answer-- just let the insurance end when it does.

I'm emotionally exhausted, and it's only half way through the week. But at least the weekend looks exciting. A celebration of glowy things and visit to friends in Port Orchard may be just what I need to recharge a bit. ♥️

She and I had a very long talk and kind of vented about the situation. At the end of the day, it didn't change anything, but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing my complaints were heard verbatim by the person at the head of making decisions about benefits for the company -- so at least I know I've done all I can do at this point.

It's been a hard day. I spent much of it on the phone with various people from Vista Outdoor Inc.'s HR department, voicing various complaints about their policy to not let domestic partners share an employee's health coverage.

The last call of the day was with the HR rep that used to be the director of HR for the previous company.

@literorrery *gentle hugs* Glad you're feeling better today, hon. That could have been a _lot_ worse.
