the rant / meltdown about shareholder profit at the end too xDD
Haha wow just had one of those overwhelming emotional turns that became a happy cry, which I had to stifle because in the office, but heck I'm so so happy with how I look here ;__; 💜🐺💜🐺🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ https://computerfairi.es/@renbymon/113835192486444369
oh cool, Gnome has no automatic dark mode anymore because Mozilla (the advertisement and AI company) thought it was financially not worthwhile to keep their daytime and location API alive https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2959#note_2053491
Just to clarify, because upon re-reading this does seem to go either way, this is a good thing! ^.^
Last night I got home from work, decided to update my blog, and everything just poured out. Memories inaccessible for decades resurfaced.
I spent like two hours writing down my thoughts about myself, when I was a teenager, werewolves, and being trans. I've come to realise that me being a werewolf and me being trans are VERY strongly connected.
I really want to get back into streaming, so I can maybe start to earn a lil money, but I need help with a second monitor and a microphone.
Anything helps!
@julia rare UK win on this. There’s no such thing as a “legal name”, you can refer to yourself as anything in any scenario. Names that appear on official documents can be changed at will, or ignored if you see fit. If you want to make a name change official, you just need to declare it and it becomes true. Nobody can stop you. I can become Princess Consuela Banana Hammock right now and everyone else will just have to adjust.
Like, legitimately, one of my colleagues decided to start calling himself Paul – so we all started calling him Paul. Then the IT services changed his name on the system to Paul, and that was it.
It’s so easy that the entire way to declare a name change is literally one page on gov.uk.

Werewolf DONE!
Name chosen: "Riveclaw" (pronounced /ˈriːva/) which comes from an old norse/Icelandic/Yorkshire word meaning "to tear/rip".
I am so incredibly happy with how this turned out. People who've known me a long time will know that werewolves are important to me, but dysphoria and gender confusion pushed that all away, but I'm glad that it's coming back with a strength I haven't felt before!
This is a side of me resurfacing. 💜 🐺
The 1am trans journey of remembering a big part of my youth and how I'm a trans werewolf was such a revelation following finishing this.
I uploaded it to the socials and a friend messaged me about it and, for some weird timing reason, my memories unlocked and everything came flooding back. I info dumped and then passed out in bed until my morning alarm went off. https://computerfairi.es/@renbymon/113835192486444369
Elon Musk and deradicalizing people
If you see someone who’s questioning Elon Musk for the first time because he obviously lied about having a top account on Path of Exile — do not mock them, do not shame them, do not complain that they should have figured this out years ago. That would just be pushing them back into the radicalizing environment they’re currently standing on the edge of saying “wait a moment…”
Radicalizing environments and cults pull people away from their friends and family and tell them that they’ll be mocked for embracing the truth but it’s worth it. The mockery then pushes them into the arms of the ones saying “shh shh, we understand… don’t worry, you’re the smart one here, they’ll be sorry.”
Yes, obviously lying about Path of Exile doesn’t even make his top one hundred worst sins. That’s not the point. The point is that this one is clear as day to the exact demographic he’s targeting — lonely young men. Once you conclude for yourself that someone is irrefutably a liar, it becomes easier to revisit what they said before and reevaluate it.
PROTON STINKS.
The claim that republicans will be able to tackle big tech abuses glosses over the fact that an unelected dictator wannabe is pulling the strings here.
Useless shitheads.

In my 20s I was a werewolf and I was so happy; some of the best years of my life!
When I got to my 30s I developed a loathing of myself and everything I liked. Turns out this was 100% dysphoria and the reason I hated everything was because it was all me being male.
But now I know I'm trans and I'm getting medication it's kinda like everything's rewinding back to then; feelings I haven't felt for decades have come flooding back!
Part of that is being a werewolf! 🐺

Werewolf self redesign is done and I am SO HAPPY
but now there's the problem of a name "Graafen" doesn't fit, but also I want something that's related to the history of where I live/grew up; Yorkshire/Danelaw historical influences.
Time to make a list of names, haha
Trans Werewolf/Renamon girl (MtF), glue Supervillain, and The Dark Knight, Therian/Otherkin, "Rive" is pronounced /ˈriːva/
