@rowanyote Hey so I heard that you may be a person who is interested in sporadic part time paid ($25+/hr) handyperson work? If you are I know a nonprofit in Fremont/Ballard who is looking to hire such a person. :3

I just learned what the "How to Get Laid at a Con" panel at Norwescon is about and it makes me happy.

(It's a panel that people think is about tips on hooking up and then they go in there and it's literally an hour long thing about consent.)

Hey friends so who is going to Norwescon?

I will be bringing a somewhat portable tea setup and a pile of decent puerh (also some cacao black tea) so if you want tea hit me up.

Oh yay I found out about a furry dating site after it shut down!

Just spent 4 hours solving puzzles on a work night WHY DID I DO THAT.

@rjl20@oulipo.social I am in favor of your Mastodon installation but I must say that a fifth glyph is in url of thing about your Mastodon dominion: https://oulipo.social/about/mor[BADTHING]

I don't know if it's the estrogen or the fact that my stress level is at about 130% tolerance or maybe some domestic terrorist may have burned down the local mosque *again* or something else I'm missing entirely but I am at a new level of rage right now and wow do I not keep my opinions to myself at this stage.

I read that as ritual cuddling.

So this car was parked next to mine at a drugstore. When I first saw it I was like omg I want that license plate. Then I saw the frame and that want turned to desire and then it turned to need.

I am so incredibly jealous of the person who has this plate.

Update: Decided to see how she's doing. Her Facebook profile was updated two days ago with a picture of her husband making her dinner. All is well, I guess.

Years ago, someone I knew checked herself into the psych ward because she was at the point where she needed someone to make sure she's okay. She sent out (via AIM) a call for things to read. I gave her my copy of Flight Vol. 1. She eventually left the hospital. I don't know where she is now but I know she's doing well.

Kazu Kibuishi is doing a signing here in a month and I am kind of sad, but also kind of glad, that I don't have a copy of Flight for him to sign anymore.

So anyway, I know how this place treats women. I don't want to know how it treats trans women.

Incidentally we have a trans candidate interviewing and I've scheduled a time where I get to say "so you're a grown man and you get to make your own decisions but I need to tell you why I'm not out here".

Those will be fun times.

Okay I'm done ranting now maybe I'll actually go to bed or something.

Despite how much the admin doesn't want to admit it they aren't listening to women and women don't talk to them about problems because they know it's useless. And when the women quit after 2 years they "oh she must have quit because of her baby" or "she is Southern so it was hard for her to adjust to the culture" or "she got offered a better job elsewhere".

But hey guess what I've talked to all of them and they just don't want to work for a pile of white dudes.

I mean it's not like it's "there's literally a dude circulating memos about why women and/or colored folks are terrible" bad, but it's at "the administration refuses to acknowledge that they need to make policy changes because things are going great look at these cis white men" bad.

This is especially terrible because we're in an industry that's like 70% women.

I pull the "as a person of color" card out very rarely (like at most once a year) because honestly I have so much fucking privilege relative to the spectrum of people (esp trans people) of color.

So I only use it if there's some ridiculous fuckery happening and I need to remind people that no I will not be party to your racist bullshit.

So anyway I did it like twice or maybe three times this week at work I've lost count.

@eris@glitch.social Okay hi so I didn't know TWOCC existed until I saw your profile and then went to your bandcamp thank you for letting me know that such a wonderful thing exists.

I'm tired.

I don't know what the fuck is happening to my brain and I'm not really even sure that it's anything gender/dysphoria/euphoria related? I still hate my body, but I don't dwell on it. Like, I can't dwell on it.

It just reals like... I'm in the right mindset for things.

I mean I know it's still there, and it'll very definitely come back at some point? But right now I just can't seem to access it. Like, a pile of shit happened this week. It normally drives me into massive depression and I reach for the comfort of inevitable death. But right now I try to do that and nothing happens.

Instead I scheme and plot and plan.
