I really love @brainwane's Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day (June 20!) https://www.volunteeramnestyday.net/ as a time to reflect on your volunteer responsibilities. it helped me realize that maintaining rbspy was not working for me and that I wanted to hand it off

The people who now say I'm not a girl are the same people who used to tell me I was such a girl before I told them that I actually am a girl.
I think they just don't like girls.
Memory says that, shortly before realizing we were nonbinary, we posted something like "I'm not cis, btw" to twitter, no context, not really knowing why or what that meant. It doesn't seem to make much sense, is that really how it happened?

Inside me there is a ferret and a tree. They're girlfriends.

We thought we knew how Voyager would end. The power would gradually, inevitably, run down. The instruments would shut off, one by one. The signal would get fainter. Eventually either the last instrument would fail for lack of power, or the signal would be lost.
We didn’t expect that it would go mad.

The degree to which everyday life assumes all adults have a backup adult at the ready anytime is ridiculous.

Air Canada appears to have quietly killed its costly chatbot support.
Plurality talk, Mental health positive and negative
@joan It sounds like you probably have this covered, but compassion for yourselves will help a great deal. -Lore
plurality question, boost appreciated but optional
@deci We all appear to have access to all memories, with a few caveats. We are not all equally able to find each memory. We do not process memories in the background, and so a headmate often reacts to a memory for the first time significantly later than the event. On one occasion we've noted emotional amnesia - the ability to recall the events but not the emotions that happened to another alter, with no indication that anything is missing. -Lore
I wonder if relocated snails dream of home.
@b0rk I have a thing that lets me type :Blame in vim to run git blame on the file I'm looking at, put the result in a new buffer, and move my cursor to the line I was looking at. And a few utilities for making worktrees recursively with submodules that are also worktrees (which I know you're not supposed to do but I do it anyway).
@b0rk My "ff" alias for "merge --ff-only" is because I think of a "fast forward" as something different from a "merge" and it.. feels wrong to me to use the merge command to do it?
Although since you mentioned long commands, I might make an alias for "push --force-with-lease" because that's the only way I'll ever bother to use it.
@hollie When I canceled, I called them.
Presumably the proposed "Click to Cancel" rule would make this illegal.
Plurality
@Lucis I think we spend a lot of time with no one in particular fronting and it leads to a similar response.
@renegadejade@hachyderm.io On E, can't tell because there was so much concurrent mental health improvement and discovery. (I suppose that's technically a yes, I'm just not sure about causation.)
Hypno, a little bit cocky but in a playful way
@Lucis I question the implicit assumption that trance is inherently a disadvantage and can't be an advantage.

@hollie Sometimes you've had enough gender for the day.
@hollie FWIW I've had appointments like that where I've still gotten useful info.

@lioness Basically our system's dynamic with Nat as the sub with no morals or limits, except we don't do kink with them and they've been inactive for a while.
