HOLY SHIT ATOM... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!

fascist culture wars 

i will not let fash take the spelling "fren". goddamnit. i feel like every day these fuckers lick something and declare "this is mine now." don't let them have it! symbolism matters and their feeble attempts to taint symbols like bread, clowns, and an adorably misspelling of "friend" can be overcome. together, we are strong! ✊

Tech, Corporate Culture, Uhh what? 

So... all of the Product Ops SREs from my org are coming to visit HQ next week and what does our newly promoted Director of CloudOps decide to do as a team building exercise? Sporting Clays...

So.. I guess a bunch of SRE nerds are going shooting next week. Should be hilarious.. at least I have my own eyes and ears.

More playable non-humans please. I'm sick of "realistic human" being the standard we measure games and their graphics by. We have all this power and we're using it on -that-?

PSA from ur friendly nonbinary grandam:

It’s okay if your gender fluctuates from time to time

It’s okay if you get comfortable with one gender and then later find it seems different than you thought

It’s okay if your gender cycles

It’s okay if you’re really not sure what the hell is going on with your gender

And it’s okay for any of these to feel weird or uncomfortable or for you not to like it

Gender is a strange part of our existence on this wet rock and it can be difficult and confusing at times and that’s totally normal and okay

You’re not any less of a person or any less deserving of respect if any of this has happened for you - or if it hasn’t

And there’s always gonna be some of us here to support you and remind you that you’re worthy of respect and good treatment no matter what :heart_nb::heart_trans:

are convertible pants with legs that zip off into shorts called zorts (zip shorts)?

(Which is to say I support efforts to separate church and state)

So sleepy.. I do not have the fucks to give to sassy british devs this early in the morning on monday. :(

Friday? Sorry, you're taking a three day weekend. Kobolds' orders. Yes, that apostrophe is in the right place.

I'm not sure how many kobolds it will take to carry you out of the office on your rolling desk chair but we'll figure it out.

I feel like art is here to save us all

'cause it always seems to get even more interesting and good when the world is hardest to endure

Hey Canada? Remember how you burned down our White House 207 years ago this month?

...could you come do that again please? I think it might help!

Some people are saying that you should be receiving government-issued kobolds.

This makes some sense, since the equitable distribution of kobolds is appropriate, as should the equitable distribution of all other resources.

That and none of my coworkers blinking or raising an eyebrow at the fact that I was rocking a They\Them pronoun tag the whole con.

Fuck it. Gonna make a game. I've been thinking about this idea for...16 years. Time to stop fucking around.

Velocity was great. Really good stuff and some great talks from LizTheGrey and Alex Qin and some other folks.

It was very reassuring to see some trans folks standing up and giving really insightful talks and breakout sessions where people seemed to really value what they had to say. I'm really glad I went!

Trans PoC asking for help, Boosts OK 

Hey, so I figured out that I don't need to feel bad about using the internet for its intended purpose: the sharing of information.

So, here's my asks to Trans PoC Masto:

1: How much did it cost you for facial hair removal, and what sort of procedure worked for you? Laser, electro, chemical, or do you just shave constantly?

2: What're your wig recommendations? This is new territory for me and I need more intel.

3: Does anyone have a good resource on reversing or treating going bald? Wigs are a pain in the ass, and not the most comfortable yet for me.

4. Can you share some starter makeup tutorials?

But no Kindle until tomorrow night.

Ffff... After 6 years some how my Kindle screen got broken in my bag.. In a case

Tech Industry DevOps 

Velocity has been great so far and makes me really glad I've moved into SRE space. I can learn new tech but I'm far more interested in influence good policy, decision making and design through data driven thinking. Velocity has had some really good talks and sessions on those topics.

Also I learned my phone autocorrects DevOps to Devils lol
