Today's pretty word of the day is "alluvium".
G'night :)
Boost this toot if you've ever been wage theft-ed.

This is what happens when you put the trans flag rotated 90º on top of the pride flag with difference blending.
It's like the queerest plaid. :D
corporations at Pride
The first Pride event I went to was when I was visiting DC in 2011, pretty much right after deciding to transition.
The queerest thing I saw there was the HRC asking me for money. It was really, really alienating and disheartening.
Fuck corporate Pride.
At work I listened to the Hierarchy of Angels episode of Spirits, a podcast about myths from around the world. It was really refreshing to hear one of the hosts preface some Christian theology with "depending on the story," the exact same way they do for 3/4 of the other myths discussed on the show.
Also if you haven't seen some of the classical descriptions of angels, they're off the fuckin' chain. My favorite is the wheels within wheels covered in hundreds of eyes.
Huh. I thought "balls to the wall" came from elevator speed governors, but according to some top search results it's from aircraft throttle knobs?
In any case it's a phrase I increasingly enjoy.

Imperial RADch *does a sick kickflip off Anaander Mianaai*
Anyway I started reading Leviathan Wakes, and having watched like a season and a half of The Expanse it's almost disconcerting to realize how tone-perfect of an adaptation the show is.

Got a picture inspired by Six Days at the Bottom of the Ocean (Explosions in the Sky) and Dear Esther, a perfectly safe (but terribly lonely) undersea fortress. (Artist: Jonathan Vair/Stigmata)

"Human" is a word whose meaning becomes unusually context-driven in furry circles :)

crow stuff
saw a crow fly past with a stick in its beak. I said "it's a bit late to build a nest, isn't it?" as it landed on the roof of a building nearby. "you're going to build a nest *there*?" and then I realized the crow was using the stick to dig through the gutters for bugtreats, and apologized for underestimating corvid intelligence, which I really should know better than to do. XD

it's time for the perfect CPU-installation tutorial again
I feel like therac-25 is particularly infamous but I'm curious if the danger of such things is explicitly taught.
Question for anyone who's gone through a university or technical school CS or related program (or whatever):
In any of your classes, was there ever a cautionary tale of software issues that could have life-threatening consequences? (Therac-25, multiple avionics control softwares, Toyota anti-lock brakes, 2003 northeast US blackout, etc?)
