assistant fox keeper @somekindofcrow@awoo.space

On a Different Social Network someone I went to school said that she's annoyed because she gave vague instructions for her to "clean my bedroom up" before leaving on a three month trip to travel the world and when she came back she found her personal assistant has organized all her cocaine into spice jars.

I don't understand rich people.

I am likely to just buy more pie tins.

Because of course I need more kitchen things that I use once a year.

I have two utterly terrible Bandaza pie ideas but I only have one pie pan.

My life is so hard.

@anthracite (looks up thing) It's the Clockwork Century series, and of the major novels 2 are set in Seattle and 1 in New Orleans. It's one of the few steampunk series I like partially because it's not about society and fancy dinners and gentlemen adventurers or whatever. It's mostly about disgraced widows, whores, and pirates fighting zombies (and worse!). Definitely recommend it.

@anthracite Have you read the Cherie Priest series about steampunk zombies? One of the books is set mostly in New Orleans I think.

Spent the last few hours hanging out with new Queer/Trans People and they are all super cute but we are all awkward so we didn't really talk at all ahhhh so awkward ahhhh.

@ElectricKeet Yeah right now the rate at which crap comes in is much higher than the rate crap is dealt with and I literally cannot afford more therapy so.

I am annoyed that new terrible and or stupid things keep happening so I end up ranting at my therapist about those instead of dealing with my actual deep seated problems like how I'm going to die alone while crying in the darkness.

Or something

@memnus@octodon.social wait did /r/traa just discover mastodon or something?

@rey boob dialing is the new butt dialing

This is actually somewhat hilarious because my strongest known biases are against people like Dude and it totally showed up when I was evaluating Dude during his interview. We hired him anyway because all the other candidates accepted better offers.

(This is actually not hilarious because Dude is one of the people I report to and this was during a meeting about how we can hire more people who aren't white.)

When I said that I do not make hiring decisions without input from my team because I know that I have internalized biases, and experience and research have shown that they come in despite our best efforts, Dude (cis white straight man) told me that I am just underselling myself.

He thinks that learning from my past mistakes and listening to others to overcome my own flaws are weaknesses and symptoms of impostor syndrome.

@Sparrow Mine is more like 20/40/40. Still love it tho.

Ahh I am at a concert and I think the person in front of me is on Mastodon right now the future is weird!!!

@paralithode Had a rotating LCD monitor for work once. It was *amazing* as a secondary monitor.
