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.

YESS mastodon now says "booped your snoot" for favs for me. Y'all on awoo dot space, change the language to "awoo!!" under settings if you'd like!

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 :)

@starkatt i learned a secret at a heckbecks a while ago which is that it's totally A Thing to order them half-sweet...

I'm beginning to suspect that pumpkin spice lattes are really just an excuse to get more sugar into your coffee.

Not that I'm complaining, mind.

Today is Carl Sagan's birthday!

If you've never heard his famous Pale Blue Dot talk, please, take a few minutes. ♥

"Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot" [3:31]

So, first off, the lower level stuff:

I get into work ready to bust ass. We're supposed to finish the job after half a day, then go to the next one. I'm hustling, but T- actively tries to slow me down. Tells me to chill, keeps stopping to tell me stories, generally manages me in a way like he's not at all concerned about time. Sends coworker on three separate not-very-important errands.

So first off, I was wrong about temporary boss "T-" asking my coworker to get weed. I heard a conversation that sounded a hell of a lot like that, but it was actually re: a herbal supplement from the pharmacy.

The rest of the day definitely continued to be fucky, though.

Well we have a shitload of work today and the coworker I'm carpooling with is an hour and a half late so that's how my day is going so far.

"wheelie bin" is a great word and we should work on getting it more widely adopted into american english.

When unbraided, my hair now apparently reaches all the way down to my navel.

Now I just need to learn how to sing and lure men to their doom.

I really like foxes but I don't so much like cute image bots that don't credit the photographer.

<bird site> twitter.com/_fox_bot does though!
