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!

"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.
I really like foxes but I don't so much like cute image bots that don't credit the photographer.
<bird site> https://twitter.com/_fox_bot does though!
weed joke
...wow, a quick search and this joke hasn't actually been recorded before. Nice.
Moving to @starkatt
I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
