"I wish for a family."
"Don't you already have one?" asked the genie.
"I wouldn't mind a better one..."
"Do you wish for your current family to be..." the genie made a grim gesture.
"No! No I mean... I guess I like them but I have to be someone very specific for them."
"Understood."
With a solemn magical nod, the means of a new family appeared in my hands.
"A laptop?"
"With unlimited internet access and airline miles."
"Yesss."

The most sleepy of kitties.
One last thought for the evening. Why is matrioshkadog so adorable??? ;_; (I've told her this repeatedly, not just here. :P)

Halp. I need to get up, but Suki has her head adorably buried against my foot (which is under the covers) and I don't want to wake her up. ;_;

request for trans-friendly press contact in Seattle
Can anyone in the Seattle area recommend trans-friendly press contacts to talk to? I may have a lead on discrimination by government employees for them to look into.
Not immediate or urgent, but I want to be able to pass these contacts along if they’re needed.

Real talk (MH - and +, work, stress)
I guess what I'm saying is
a) I could really use some hugs.
b) I'm doing better than I was on Friday, but am still super pins-and-needles mental-health-wise.
c) If you've ever been a manager, or ever want to be, and you've done / will do the same for an employee in need who's done the best she can? /Thank you./
Real talk (MH - and +, work, stress)
Know a lot of folks haven't been in the loop on this, but I'm basically taking this weekend to recover from a fairly serious breakdown where work stress finally got too much. *Thankfully*, I have a boss who cares about me as a person, and he basically told me "go rest, we'll hold the fort while you recover" plus a fair bit of "yeah, I don't know how you guys have done this this long /anyways/.

re: some thoughts about "OK Boomer" from a GenX perspective
it hurts because it's speaking truth to power. it hurts because Boomers have built a culture that looks to them as the wise ones, the gatekeepers, the elders with power, and the Kids These Days aren't playing the game right. it's not disrespectful or confrontational--it's a swerve, a dodge, taking a pass on the whole packaged cycle of obedience and rebellion.
and that's why it doesn't hurt their parents, us GenXers. I have to admit, if somebody said "OK Gloomer" (heeee) to me I'd have to shake my head, laugh a little, and say "yeah, you got me." we're used to being disregarded and silenced. we love you, our kids... but we know better than to try and take away your voice. even if we wanted to, we know we can't. we can give advice and support, and you can take it or leave it as you will. but you're the ones who are leading the charge to change the world right now. drive us to a brighter, better future, or drive us off a cliff... either way, we're proud of you.
OK, Millenials and Zoomers. you've got this. 💚

@DialMforMara thats sounds wonderful. At some point I still want to play a Tabaxi Necromancer who raises the dead to protect nature
Oof. Been absolutely blasted since I flew out to San Diego to meet up with family. Missed them oh so much. >.<

see i'm glad i've found mastodon, land of the furries and furry-adjacent, so i can say this and everyone will get what i mean:
as a society we need to recognize that head scritches tap into a deep and powerful source of happy that i personally theorize is leftover from "monkey brain say social grooming good, ook", but basically, we should normalize scritching someone's scalp/playing with their hair/etc. as a good casual loving touch like snuggling
thank you for coming to my ted talk,
