CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Gender options in Paralives. Was not expecting this level of detail. And I'm all for it.

It seems I have extra shifts coming up for the next couple weeks. Funny, I don't remember agreeing to that.

Whatever. I'll pre-emptively spend the extra pay on pizza and relax hard with 80s cartoons this weekend. Get as rested as possible in advance.

Huh. These dollar-store hair elastics I was given have the colours to hide a discrete aro flag in my hair.

If Discord could please fuck right off with the Tetodamned Nitro pop-ups.

Alternately, if my friends would please give XMPP or Matrix a chance.

I really should stop scrolling fedi on the work computers. I know full damn well there's going to be nudity somewhere on my timeline.

(Or I could set the client to not automatically expand CW'd posts, but nah.)

@sandriver I know nothing about the game, but I like her already.

@Juankprada Aye, missing that nostalgia factor. If I'm being honest, I mostly just want to hear the remixed versions of classic music. Guess I could just look up the soundtrack on YouTube or something instead of playing the game.

Meh. I prefer "Link's Awakening".

I'm generally not keen on social interaction. However...

It might be nice to meet someone who can simply be present. Someone I don't feel compelled to entertain or hold a conversation with, who is just quietly by my side while out for a walk, or just sitting with me on the sofa I don't own as we read books together. That sort of thing. Just occasionally. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://lazygeek.cafe/emoji/blobcat/blobcatthinking.png" title=":blobcatthinking:" />

But I guess I'm too introverted to meet other introverts. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://lazygeek.cafe/emoji/blobcat/blobcatshrug.png" title=":blobcatshrug:" />

Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man.

@brennan I considered it, but all the instances I looked at were either full of spam or didn't respond to my request for an account. I considered running my own, but decided I don't write enough for it to be worthwhile.

@afreytes Well now I have to add OddTaxi to my own queue.

Are "Cheese" and "Wine" perfectly normal Thai names, or is this show just weird?

Enemies with Benefits, EP 2.

Some time ago I made a post explaining how it took me a while to comprehend the term "non-binary", but when I did start to understand it, I felt like it explained a few things about my own past.

...And then I just sort of left it at that. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://lazygeek.cafe/emoji/blobcat/blobcatshrug.png" title=":blobcatshrug:" />

Well I figured tonight was as good a night as any to experiment with GhostBSD on my laptop really investigate the concept and what it means, by doing some reading on the subject and see what the enbies of fedi are talking about. And I've come to a conclusion: Teenage Johnny, if he knew about any of this, probably would've flown the demiboy flag. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://lazygeek.cafe/emoji/prideflags/5629-demiboy-flag.png" title=":demiboyflag:" />

(But like, discreetly. Because teenage Johnny grew up in a small town among narrow-minded bigots.)

(Also teenage Johnny was around a couple decades before the term came into use, but we're ignoring that detail.)

Middle-aged Johnny, on the other hand, is a bit more ambivalent about all this. There are times when it still kinda feels appropriate: Like sure I'm physically a man, and I'm quite fine with that. But I don't necessarily feel like a man at a given moment, nor do I want to. And I'm not really sure whether these are enby feelings, or just generally feeling that gender norms are bullshit. (On that note: hot pink on black is a sweet colour combo, and the immediate family member who once tried to shame me for suggesting as much can shove it.)

On the other hand, these feelings aren't so strong that I feel compelled to personally explore any of this. But I'm thinking I'll follow a few more tags, as a means of casually comparing my experience with that of others.

Anyway, this dragged on for longer than I intended. Trans rights, and y'all have a great day. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://lazygeek.cafe/emoji/stolen/ablobcat_wave-0tPIdJJnW.gif" title=":ablobcat_wave:" />
