@subrote@mastodon.lol This is where having a long warm coat comes in clutch!

Like I tried for almost a full ten minutes to not respond with snark when a coworker reported a client’s “frustration” with the lack of an article about this “simple” process, but I gave up when my own frustration was too big to swallow. That’s where we are these days.

I’m finding it harder to be diplomatic at work lately. On the one hand it makes me feel like an asshole, on the other I am so so tired of people assuming the work I do is simple.

“Why doesn’t a help article exist yet for this very specific process?” is the instructional copywriter’s version of “how hard could it be to change a single line of code?” It doesn’t work like that and I’m sick of people thinking it does.

angry post, transphobia 

“I can’t support your medical transition because you’re changing your ✨beautiful body✨” will always be horseshit because it places the value that other people might see in your body over you feeling comfortable living in it.

Being often means finding out that some people in your life believe you don’t have a right to your own physical form. Your body belongs to your parents, your potential lovers, to anyone else before it belongs to you.

@nerdybutcute damn, I would’ve thought that kind of sad-adultcore attitude was right up buzzfeed’s alley

Well, maybe not hilarious.

@geekysteven and the frog said, “boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats”

And as the scorpion crossed the river he clacked his pincers and chanted: FROG BOAT FROG BOAT FROG BOAT FROG BOAT

Dressed as a dark elf sorcerex for a Twelfth Night party last weekend and felt very good about it!

I’ve been remembering my dreams regularly for the first time in a while. Most of them aren’t anything too exciting, but I know writing them down helps them stick and makes it more likely I’ll keep remembering. I’ve accepted that most are going to read as pretty mundane.

This though makes me sound like a disgruntled boomer writing a yelp review, which is a whole other level of mundane
