Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I've been really busy with work, and this week was even on-call on top of that. Plus I've been dealing with other stuff as well. It's just been REALLY work-intense lately.

Okay fediverse. How should I spend my Sunday?

- Read some books
- Go walking/ingressing
- Make some music
- Work on my computer game
- Play board games with friends
- Play some switch games I've been looking at

Hey @Matchlightlife and @LeadSandwichArtist I had a great time visiting you two! Thanks for putting @coda and I up!

TIIIIRED.

Went to bed late, skipped lunch, and spent two hours at 8500 ft.

I need dinner.

I just got one of these: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-redesigns-keyboard-in-new-macbook-pro-update-and-promises-quick-repairs-on-sticky-keys/

And I gotta say... the new MacBook keyboards are a DREAM to type on. Not the ones just prior to this generation. Just this generation. BUT OMG I LOVE IT.

Snuggling someone while you both do completely independent things is pure heaven.

Any time people talk about "women and children" when they mean "non-combatants" I get bristly.

Women can fight, assholes. Some of the greatest warriors of the past have been women. Stop treating women as a class as incapable of fighting.

I can't stand how often I see this in fantasy shows, EVEN WHEN THEY EXPLICITLY HAVE FEMALE WARRIORS.

And that in part means calling it out when you see it. In the fediverse, if you're seeing people/instances shitting on two of the few PoC lead instances in the fediverse (playvicious.social and ehjovan.com) then you're probably looking at some racists.

I've seen so many folks in otherwise progressive spaces say and do racist shit, or excuse racism in their midst. I've lost friends because I've pointed out the racism of my white/white-passing trans friends.

We white queer folks need to step up our game and do a better job of stomping out racism in our communities.
