@geekysteven that alert sound is the Metal Gear version of “ope!”
@hergaiety Hey there!
Did you also choose this server based on pronouns? 😁
I’m a #millennial #trans #nonbinary guy, married to my best friend and living the #polyam life in #Chicago.
In school for #bodywork, specifically Zen #Shiatsu. I’m a believer in the benefits of #meditation #yoga #lovingkindness #healing #wellness etc despite how those concepts have been commodified in US culture.
I’m about to start playing in my first long-term #DandD #ttrpg. I also like to #cosplay.
I have a background in #theater and #music and still dabble in both.

…or going into healing professions, or working on building communities, or just being themselves without apology to show that it's possible. Everyone has their struggles, but we are doing what we can to save ourselves and each other.
I feel honored to know so many people like that. I think you're doing amazing and I hope you have a happy new year. (2/2)
Sappy end-of-year post
Reflecting on things as one does this time of year, and I find myself thinking about how many people I know who are working hard to heal themselves and others. There are so may people I can name who are being candid about their experience with mental health, or creating art to let other people know they're not alone, or creating art just to bring something beautiful into the world, or using their cleverness and observations of our absurd world to make people laugh… (1/2)
so in short
- sleep when you want, as much as you want
- different sleep times are a normal human variation
- too much sleep isn't bad for you
- naps are good
- sleep is THE most important factor for keeping your brain functional
- doctors are full of shit and reproduce social stigmatisation of normal differences
- sleep time variations are artificially pathologised
- they turn into real disabilities because they deviate from the supported norm, see: social model of disability
@thebeatsalive They are perfect, and also very good (at being cats)!
Hey cis friends, have you ever fantasized about being a different gender? Any context: sex or cool clothes or whatever, no shame attached.
Trans folks commonly think everyone questions their gender, but the few cis folks I've asked either say no, or only a tiny handful of times.
If none of these choices make sense for you, my DMs are open.
Trans friends, please sit this one out, but please do boost for reach.
@tinymira Aww :(
There is no reason apart from “keeping things PG-13” for people in sci-fi and fantasy to not say fuck. If humans exist and they’re speaking English, or “common language that just so happens to sound like English,” whatever made-up swear word that gets used ends up being a fuck equivalent anyway. Let science fiction and fantasy characters say fuck.
@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon It may not be hibernation technically, but if you want me to come outside you’d better have a good fxckin reason
