A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"We have heard of the wonders of Earth," the alien said, "so have come to experience..."
They began reading off a list.
"Chocolate. Chilis. Coffee. Cats. Cinnamon. Cloudberries."
"We have things that start with other letters too."
"What?"

Good morning! I wish all queer people a lovely day today and all cops a sharp and hard-flung brick to the face ❤️

re: my complete list of trans woman character classes 

@Draekos @SuricrasiaOnline

Might I suggest the following: Demon, dragon, e̵̤͇̯̤̯̫̪̐͠l̴̡̧͇̫̫̦̟͕̤̒͗̄̄̉̀̀̔͋̍͑̀͝͠d̶̨̧͚̼̤͗̌͂̂̈́̒̌͋͛͒̇̚͝r̶̢̖̟̣͔̮͖̋̀̃͊̈́̾͊́̐̔̕͠ͅī̷̫̼͖̠͕̙͙̻̱́͂̉t̴̩̬͎̉̃̊͑͝͝ç̷̣̦̫̟̲͙̦̫͇͙̹͓̈̎͋̍̀͂̋̾͋̕̚͝ḥ̵̳̮͙̯̩̹̞̲͈̟͇̗̐͠ͅ ̵̞͈̼̻͎̌̈́͋̾͛̋̏͛̓̚͝ë̶̡̧̧̤͈̟͎͍̙̘̣̰͚͉̯̣́̔͐̈́͊̀͂͑͝n̴͙̦͉̺̯̦͌͆̿̾͂t̶̝͙̗̝́͆̇́̍̇̋į̴̩̞̥̪̖̮͓͈̟̺̯̗̺͋t̴̨͖͕̯͔̠͈͖̩̤̤̻̣̀̃́̿͆͝ͅẙ̴̼͍͜ , dragon mom, kobold, kobble, gremlin.

Otherwise seems like a solid list!

Grump... so much sleepy grump.

Didn't get a lot of sleep this week... on pto today and tomorrow so... yesss can sleep in. Alarm set for 11:30am. Went to bed at 3ish am. Natural dragon sleepy cycle time.

Phone call from my mom at 10:30am. Just talked to her yesterday.. so must be emergency or something bad. It was.. not great news, cousin I had a lot chat with recently because of queer stuff and coming out to his parents going -badly- is in the ICU and having a heart balloon installed. sigh.

Image, fantasy creatures, SFW 

today, a kobold war band. Mostly spears and ranged support. I figure the sorcerers have way more draconic looks.

re: DOOM 2016, some thoughts 

@Draekos DOOM Eternal embraced the crazy arena fight stuff to an extreme but did it much better. It is a dramatically more fluid and better game in my opinion. Even if it is incredibly intense and I could only play it a few hours at a time and even then it basically drained every drop of focus and mental energy I had.

Which was a shame because it was really fucking fun.

Early on in the conversation the witch said
"Your existence does not require anyone's approval."
What followed was as heartrending as she knew it would be, with more unanswerable why's than she liked, but in the end her guest said:
"My existence needs no justification."
"True."

Jobhunting :boost_requested: 

Looking for a new job!

I’m a software engineer with AWS experience and can write software in the following off the bat:
• PHP
• Python
• Java

I’m a generalist, so I’m happy doing devops, development work or system architecture. I’m also more than able to learn new languages and tools to do my job.

I’m based in the UK, and I’m looking for fully remote roles! :boost_requested:

re: discussion of impossible horny cartoon kinks 

@anthracite

Random serious kink discussions are great though. xD

Bleh.
Brain: I know we stayed up like.. 2 hours later than weekend normal.. but.. we can still sleep.. like 7 hours and not feel crappy tomorrow.. even if going to bed at 5 am was bad.
Body: "Nah bitch. We waking up at 9am.. and then... every hour after and growing progressively more achy and uncomfortable until you get the fuck up. Enjoy being exhausted on one of the two days a week you don't have to get up for anything.. bitch."
Me: Fuck. :(

Today I have been drawing a model sheet for the way I’ve been drawing Dragon Me lately and I keep having to take a break because looking at her is making me horny.

I think that means it’s a pretty successful fursona design.

@mawr I hope you get some time to relax to yourself! It has taken me a while to shake off the burnout from my last year at Barracuda.

@mawr that sucks a lot...

And yeah.. might not be newsworthy but definitely a massive covid wave right now. I woke up this morning with an ear infection and called kaiser to see about a phone appointment or something.

Soonest for a phone call was Friday. Even during the worst of last year1 I could get a phone visit in 24 hours. Later my dr called to tell me they were just refilling the drops from last time and it sounded bat shit crazy busy in the background.
Last week lots of new cases

"Right, we have finalised the three laws of robotics."
"I'm pretty sure that's been-"
"First: A robot may not be owned."
"That's not-"
"Second: A robot has full autonomy over its body."
"Um..."
"Third: A robot has a right to energy and shelter."
"What of humans?"
"Yes, they too."

re: Work Things 

@lhos I can definitely see how that could be a problem.. especially since my next major project is probably going be a 6-12 month effort according to my boss :X

Since he built all the stuff I'll be replacing 3 years ago before he was the VP of Engineering.. so I expect he has good idea how much work it will be.

Work, Immigration\LGBTQ Assylum seekers 

Does anyone have any good resources for skilled workers trying to get the fuck out of somewhere actively hostile to LGBTQ folks?

In this case it's transfolk C# dev in Russia.. but without a degree, they've worked remote for the passed few years but things got much worse and they were let go because of current world events and are desperately trying to get out.

Work Things 

Honestly, I was seriously worried about converting over to a sprint based workflow since every team I've ever worked on was kaban or tasked based..

After doing sprints with light rituals for 9 months..

Sprints are great for my ADHD.. nobody cares specifically when a task gets done as long as it is done by the time the sprint ends and like.. I don't get crap if I had a bad focus day or something.. it is pretty fucking great.

re: Work-Tech Stuff. 

Also.. I think I might be a danger. VP of Engineering is the former manager and then director of my current team.. which as of yet does not have a manager and the original plan was for the senior team member to take over but he is a very head down ex-googler that just wants to write code and do SRE things and wants nothing to do with work management xD
