My favourite thing about liking a post on Mastodon web is the cute spinny animation it does. Sometimes I like, un-like, and then re-like a post just so I see it spin. Wheeeeeee!

@ami_angelwings Well personally I have always been a big fan of the sea cucumber. It's a deeply simple animal but the most interesting thing about it is that when threatened it EJECTS ITS INTERNAL ORGANS as a defense mechanism, I guess so it can escape a now-distracted attacker. It's related to starfish so it can just regrow them. I've always thought this would be a good power for a superhero. Imagine how badly villains would cope if the Sea Cucumber suddenly ejected a spray of bloody organs

HRT is fucking magic. Just overwhelmed tonight with gratitude and #transJoy about how it has reshaped my body and how lucky I have been.

If you haven't taken it apart do you even truly own it?

Today on Duolingo, I learned how to engage in casual conversation with any French cybersecurity professional.

Started in 2003 by Jessie Audette and Alice Yee Xavier, the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps project has been a neighborhood collaboration to create a sea to stars themed mosaic flowing up a 163 step stairway located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Heights Neighborhood.

I sometimes think the reason they gave Mike Lazzo Adult Swim is because his team was going to get the network in some hot water.....

My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.

:Trek: 

Klingon: It is a good day to die

Starfleet: Oh that's a very common mispronunciation for that word by people from Q'onos. "It is a good day today."

Klingon: Oh that's how you say "today?" I always thought it rhymed with "why"

Starfleet: Yeah idk what to tell you

Klingon: Oh-kai, hashtag TIL I guess

Starfleet: It's pronounced "okay"

Klingon: Kahless fuck I'm done here

Got the kiddo a bivalent booster tonight.

Disappointing to find a regional Public Health Vaccine clinic slow and near empty. No lines, no waiting, empty spots.

We DO have public health efforts left to us, but dayyum, folks, ya gotta show up. Kids are getting alarmingly sick. Some are dying from what they would have shaken off in 2019.

Get vaxxed. Boosted.
Masks. Make safe choices about how close to be when you don't know.

@e_urq The same transphobes who darkly predict that trans women, having experienced a boost of male hormones at puberty, will unfairly dominate women’s sports, then turn around and argue that puberty blockers should be illegal.

Why, sometimes I almost suspect that their primary motivation might not be concern for the purity of sports.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the Southwest Airlines reservation center....

One of the (many) things angering me about the return to office policy is that I'd finally found a nice work-life balance.

Once of the problems I've always had is not enough time to do creative stuff, which has fed into the lack of comics and writing. Since working from home, my work-day is exactly that. Nine hours of work. I wake up, roll over, and I'm at work. When I'm done, I turn my laptop off, and the rest of the day, seven hours, is mine.

I'd banked Jenn's Great Reset on that. I now had time to write scripts, work on stories, and I was even about to gear up comic production again. Moving forward, that 7 hours was mine to be creative. Or maybe not. Maybe I'd play games, or surf the web. But that 7 hours was MINE and I had TIME to do what I wanted without rushing or forcing myself to stop at a preset time.

With a return to office, though, something we were told wouldn't happen, I've just gained at least a two hour round-trip commute. Not to mention now I have to shower and get dressed for work (thirty minutes) before work (I was doing it on my lunch hour from home). I also now have to get up earlier for that, say an hour, which means I go to bed an hour earlier.

My 7 hours to myself is now just 3. And in that 3 I also have to keep the house clean certain days. And I'll run into the dreaded "pencils down" issue of having to put away the art as I'm getting revved up.

I really wish work from home was going to be a permanent thing for everyone whose job was doable from home, because you got ALL your time to yourself, versus burning that (unpaid) time getting to and from work.

I won't even get into the cost of making and maintaining a home office for work that was supposed to be permanent, "induced attrition," and broken guarantees.
