I have a couple less public accounts and am not shy about changing post privacy so if you see a thing you'd like to boost, boost it

Many of my posts are unsolicited advice.

Know that most of those posts are advice that I'm actively working on taking right that second.

If i don't follow back, it's probably because you haven't interacted enough with me or my friends and/ or don't have enough public posts.

I'm down to make new friends but I'm trying to exercise reasonable judgement.

I'm a:
Computational scientist (PhD in Biology via Applied Math), doing the academia thing until I rage quit.

baker/dog owner/wannabe goth/poppunk nostalgist/(s)witch/comic nerd/crafter

Wantonly bisexual, terrible at romance, worse at monogamy, permanently angry at gender norms.

I like:
WoW/OW

brazilian jiu jitsu/muay thai/dance/lifting

I was 7 minutes late to my friends' house and afk on discord so they sent out a search party.

I love to use for loops because I get all this extra time to sit around and wait for things to finish evaluating

According to this chart I'm somewhere between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral https://i.redd.it/m4au9aiyr5m31.jpg

I'm playtesting my first hack of a game this Saturday, and it seems like I'm probably going to write a game on Sunday soooooooooooooooooooo

((one of the people I shared my hack with is really excited to play and says he thinks I've done a lot more than a reskin))

I told a bunch of friends that "all my friends were unsurprised wait I think I really just mean @signalstation and @paulczege "

((it's an adjunct job, it's not that impressive, but yah))

f-unemployment, now with more actual game design

((I got a job last Fri, I am now Professor Maenad))

love to have real bad PMS on the day I'm supposed to be working on this "data exam" real good real good.... -.-

A chain of thoughts I had today:
* I could run horror
* I could run horror in SPACE
* like, cosmic horror
* ooh, even better, horror OUT OF space

...

* wait that's just lovecraft

Seems like I'll be DMing a one shot at an anime con soon-ish. I've been told to "make it weird". What tropes should I include?

Here's what I've got so far:
* They're cadets in angel school
* They're fighting demons in mechs (shield guardians and whatnot)
* At least one of the villains is one of the pc's dead ex boyfriend

WHY DID NONE OF YOU FUCKERS TELL ME TO READ GIDEON THE NINTH?

whew

every day I become more sure that kiddo is trans (and a boy, much as I keep dropping their birth assignment occasionally)

like they're talking to Kris and saying "I'm your brother, Billy, nice to meet you" right this second

so yeah, intentionally including trans adults in the circle of my adult acquaintances they get introduced to might become a bigger thing

kiddo keeps putting their clothes on Kris

Kris is concerned with this trend, but also very patient with kiddo

introduced kiddo to a trans lady today (by taking her to the trans+ thrift store and correcting kiddo's pronouns when they talked to the lady behind the register)

kid started humming

So we watched the Steven Universe movie

kid was humming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9_wACQvhys as I walked them home

TT_TT

If I get to watch kiddo grow past puberty I might buy them a binder and be that guy

(we made cookies together and didn't talk about it)
