Update on house stuff 

I started our network install yesterday :D

First was a little CAD work (cardboard aided design), then I used that to cut a wood board for mounting... Then a run to the garage for the net coming in.. And lastly, all the equipment.

Venting about work (2) 

On top of this, they're replatforming to a system based in Java.

I don't know Java. They're offering to teach me which is cool, but... I dunno. Python? Awesome. Ruby? I'm there. ...but Java? ...In 2017??

I mean, all that plus the parent company is heavily invested in the military industrial complex... And so they keep cutting budgets to make up for their losses in sales in that sector and...

I'm not sure I'll ever really be happy at this company, and that sucks. 😞

Venting about work 

I think it might be time to look for a new job.

They're going to cut off my team from accessing:
• Slack
• Skype
• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• Google Docs
• Gmail
• Telegram
• Trello
• Assembla (our ticketing system and wiki)
and others

They insist they provide everything we need with:
• MS Teams (bad UI & fewer features)
• Skype for Business (company policy doesn't allow chat history or external contacts)
• MS OneDrive (Eh.)
• Company Email
• ServiceNow (…)
• MS Sharepoint

Economic thoughts from a plush mawr and a sleepy @kelseyhusky:

Vermin Supreme's pony based economy stimulus would result in a lot more pregnant horses... Which means a more readily available source for estrogen... Which means:

Vermin Supreme would cause the price of HRT to drop.

Just sayin'.

Happy Indigenous People's Day everyone :D

I can't get to Home Depot today to get the tools I need to do yardwork so I guess I'll just have to play Yoshi's Wooly World all day oh no

Major score at the thrift store today! All the furniture in this picture were acquired for less than $80 all together. :D

Gateway station's media room is officially in open beta. The launch went astoundingly well. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

TIL: the element cobalt is named after kobolds.

No, really: the compound in which cobalt is most commonly found was called "kobold ore" by miners.

Hello! This is your <interval> reminder that I'm a ✨plush✨!

Okay so when Twitter dies can we pool money to somehow buy the domain? We could build out the API so all the games and stuff (Nintendo Switch, etc) that talk to it now can still post their content somewhere (like Mastodon) and keep all of that functionality alive.

My advice for trans people recently starting out:

There's a million and a half ways to deliberately expose yourself to the words and views of people who hate you. Don't.

Reading that shit doesn't make you any better informed, just more hurt and bitter.
