@noelle :makes fluid turbulence noises at extremely high volume:

Hey also @bb@cybre.space​ I don't think I've said yet that your avatar is really good.

Gardevoirs are precious friends.

@bb@cybre.space You're definitely moon-aligned, imo.

@bb@cybre.space Am I describing you or am I describing myself?

I'm /finally/ getting around to listening to Of Montreal about two years after I was first recommended them, and this is some good shit.

@bb@cybre.space huh now that I think about it, probably same.

Remember to tip your instance admins. Moderating online communities is a full time job that not everyone can get right.

Most times, donations barely cover server costs.

And, if you see another instance's admin who does a great job, tip them, too.

the scottish government is performing a consultation on an impending review to the gender recognition act.

notable proposed changes include allowing self-declaration of gender (potentially even for minors!) and adding a third legal gender for nonbinary folks.

if this is a matter relevant to you, please consider participating in the consultation!

Addendum to the gender thoughts:

I'm so non-binary I'm actually trinary instead. :-P

Hey I haven't mentioned it but Awoo does in fact feel noticeably faster now and it's making reading backlogs a lot nicer :)

@mxsparks I work on live mains power pretty much daily. Getting hit by 120V ac isn't bad when it's just across a hand or something, but cross-body shocks and arc flash scare me.
