When I was apprenticing, I got screamed at by someone on my team because they thought I deleted their code. They hadn't pushed a damn thing to upstream, that's why the code wasn't there. And they swore it was my fault because I was the only one who knew Git well enough to help others with merge conflicts. I don't want being yelled at over Git being confusing to be a key component of my worklife.

It sounds interesting, insofar as my designery mind is like, "We could do this better", but the day-to-day tasks don't interest me much, nor does putting out fires and getting yelled at by confused senior devs who don't understand Git

And all of my previous experience is in art/graphic design, activism, coding, or writing, so what part of it suggests I want to do very backendy work with Git?

I had this other role right before this one, where the guy said he wanted a coder but what he actually wanted was an admin to run his WordPress site. So I gave it a shot and hated every moment before I gave up and told him I couldn't do it. Because I don't particularly enjoy setting things up and figuring out what the dang site needs. I like visual design and writing, and coding frontend.

Work is pushing me toward Pubops because I know GitHub, but I know fuckall about servers and have little interest in being an admin because it just seems like an enormous pain in the ass

The early 90s were a time where multiple character designers independently decided, "What if we made an anthro bunny and colored it an unnatural hue"

The etymology of "gunsel" is actually really amusing, due to het and gentile obliviousness.

I was listening to a podcast that included a clip from "The Maltese Falcon": Peter Lorre just hysterically screaming.

As soon as I heard it, I knew this was the whole of John K's vocal performance as Ren.

Now, John is 1) a huge homophobe and 2) strongly identifies with Ren.

But Peter Lorre's character in the film is explicitly a gay dude. A "gunsel".

And this big gross homophobe decided he was gonna give his self-insert fursona the voice of a gay character...

The trans remake of Drop Dead Fred where Phoebe Cates' former character is grappling with being a trans man and tells his mom, "My name is Fred, now. I'm tired of repressing this part of me" at the end of the movie
