I just saw my shadow. You know what that means: 6 more months of gay pride. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

"You may not have power and privilege on a large scale, but there's likely a place where you've got SOMETHING, even if it's just the ear of a colleague. Use it. Wrap it around your fists and your ideals; and let it help you help others batter down walls."

ProTip: If there's a heated argument in your mentions (and you love them too much to block), you can temporarily mute and then immediately unmute them them which will remove their replies from your notifications

The old replies don't return to your notifications when you unmute them so you won't be reminded of the conversation over and over

You come to your senses with a sudden gasp, body twitching and jerking from a rush of adrenaline. You stagger to your feet, searching your surroundings for the source of the danger, but nothing presents itself. Looking around, all you see is a peaceful

would be wild if there were other people on masto who were also from edinburgh and also going to pride scotia tomorrow

I don't enumerate my praxis, but if I did, "do not argue vocabulary across class lines" would be on there.

I'm an ivory tower feminist. Blue-collar queers have way better things to do than to listen to me twaddle on about definitions. (No, this was not brought on by any discussion anywhere recently. I just had a moment of missing the former partner with whom I learned this lesson. I can't talk to them so instead I'm here sharing it with y'all.)

Hey #nonbinary friendos! One of my offline buddies is doing a research survey on nonbinary folks and infrastructure. Wanna participate? They’re also nonbinary fwiw, this is not a Cis Academic Doing Exploitative Research situation. https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/okeyes/355928

Fun fact: In Mad Max, Fury Road, when Immortan Joe's War Boys launch themselves into battle and spray their teeth with "chrome", it's *actually* Wilton's edible Colour Mist spray glitter. For the record, it smells like cheap vodka. If all goes well, it'll make my chocolates all shiny and chrome.

I love people who try to be soft. I think about it a lot. I used to be an asshole when I was younger, I was sexist and racist, definitely shades of queerphobia (a lot of interalised shame about my own queerness). It was all about being edgy and tired of the world. I remember when I looked what I was saying and doing and went "no, actually, I am a good person, this is not what good people say and do."

I love people who have stared themselves down and gone "No."

Our Russian acrobatics coach has picked up some odd English-ish idioms.

Last night, he referred to our exhausted muscles as 'jello fish'

Today, I can get neither the phrase nor the corresponding visual out of my head.

Hi mastofriends! I miss y'all but I'm at #WisCon and there's no way in heck I'm going to keep up on social media. I'm livetweeting like whoa over @cheryltz@twitter.com if you wanna drink from the firehose...otherwise I'll see you Tuesday!

Help make this awesome project happen, y'all! If nothing else, at least read and share the interview. :)

I am *super* lucky in that my partner goes out of his way to make sure I've got the time and space to have a gaming community. This is unusual for women, and doubly so for moms: I'm usually the oldest woman in the room, and often the only mom.

The story gaming I've done at cons lately has relied heavily on me leveraging my social network to recruit players, and that was disappointing - shouldn't the fact that I'm at a convention mean that I have other tools for finding people to play with?

What works for y'all, when it comes to running heavily narrative-driven games at conventions? I like the idea of Big Bad Con's Games on Demand but that seems like a lot of infrastructure. What else works?
