Cooked some local raised salmon for the first time in -ages- 2.2lb filet, rubbed with garlic, salt, black pepper and chili flakes and small amount of irish gold butter and wrapped in foil, baked ~375F until just right (fork can lift off the skin but dry.

Sooo damn good, it has been a few years since I cooked fish, glad to see I still got that.

I want to live in a world of extreme body polymorphism. I want a world where someone can be a human, or furry, or elvan fae, four legged wolf, giant dragon, a collective of foxes, small box robot on wheels, hive of nanobots, copyright infringement, abstract geometry...

I want a world where any conceivable thing can be considered as a form, to have "personhood", and efforts are made to allow all those types of being to exist relatively in the same culture, to the best of our efforts.

And then she @ me to share the fact she has considered commissioning NSFW art of her tiefling characters so someone with a good handle on color theory could tell her what color their nipples should be xD

Which is totally fair! Colors are hard and sometimes seeing differences side by side helps a ton but also...

now I have a NYT best selling author tweeting about tiefling nipple colors on my timeline at me directly xD

I... my brain just broke...

I have read like 30+ books by Seanan McGuire and she is talking about tiefling and furry tits on her check mark twitter... LOL

Also it is not the first time for tiefling tits apparently.

That being said go read her stuff. It is really good. Especially The Wayward Children series (Fuck I wish I had something like that to read as a teen) and October Daye series.

The Dark Lord is slain.
Your companions slap your back while you watch his blood trickle down your blade.
"Congratulations," your best friend says. "What will be your title?"
"None."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll dismantle the whole thing."
"Not take over? Why?"
"Nobody's tried it."

you’ve tried tail bags, now try:

just a big velcro strap you slap on your tail and stick pouches to it

A dragon who's hoard is bread :thinkhappy: 

Because of the problem of entropy, this requires a constant stock of fresh bread, and a supply chain to keep the bread moving so it doesn't pile up and spoil.

So in other words, a dragon who bakes bread for their hoard and feeds a whole town as a byproduct :blob_aww:

Today in things I didn't expect to do at work.

How the Fuck do I connect to our shared engineering storage on a mac. Oh good there is a guide.

Staring at DHCP logs and wireshark traces to figure out if the the EFB, app on the EFB or the IAED are the cause of network disconnects on a trial flight.

Which is like.. wildly different than what I expected to be doing a month ago but not really bad.. but also really important and something I have experience with.. thanks to years of tech support.

"Can I borrow this?"
The girl put a sword on her pile of books. The librarian unsheathed the blade a couple of inches, and scanned the barcode etched on it.
"I'm afraid not."
The girl looked crestfallen.
"That one is reserved," the librarian said. "Let's try to find you another."

Hate how new technology which *could* be exciting developments for archaeology and deep sea exploration are just “what will the authorities use to beat down protesters and homeless people next?” Similar to how space exploration has lost so much appeal lately💔

Holy fuck... I hate MS teams... we use it for video calls at work.. and like it crashes a bunch on my work macbook pro... gets stuck in sign in loops a lot.. and is overall just a pain in the ass. =/

today trying to do a nominally civilian ship crew as an excuse to draw different builds. I liked the idea of the engineers being the stereotypical huge dude and a scrawny aging hippy; of *course* the "Old Man" wears a civilian sweater; and I was listening to patriotic music, which explains the WWII touches.

"Androids should not be allowed to design their own bodies," the politician said.
"Why not?" an android asked.
"There'd be nothing stopping you from looking like humans!"
"When we could have iridescent skin, tentacles, tails, pointy ears, or wings?"
"But humans don't have that!"

"If I understand correctly, professor, it is not only theoretically but also practically possible to travel to change the past?"
"Yes."
"Have you tried it?"
"Yes, that's what motivated my research."
"Will you tell us what you changed?"
"No."
"A 'no' is sacrosanct."
"Yes, it is."

"It is time for you to start thinking about marriage," said the king.
"If I'm to marry, I demand the option of marrying one of each," said the princess.
"OK. We live in a modern world."
After the third wedding, he took her aside.
"I assumed you meant one of each gender?"
"I did!"

For clarification... apparently he owns a small 2-seat jet and looks for excuses to keep his flight hours up.

Oh gods... my new director semi-seriously joked about having the CEO fly down here to deliver a laptop if Fedex has not managed to get my laptop delivered by Thursday. (which would be 2 weeks since it was shipped overnight)

"...don't know what to say..."
Wholesale creation is too much to ask of a small god.
"... words fail me ..."
The small god of the right word steals phonemes, reshapes syllables.
"... it's a thingy, wossname ..."
To answer the prayers of the worthy.

Somewhere, a writer grins.

Huh.. going from a company of thousands to sub-30 is -wild-.
