Hi, I’m Haven! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I'm a vegetarian trans woman who loves women, doggos, programming, math, board games, D&D, and geeking out with enthusiastic people. Expect friendly posts about queer joy 🌈 and nerdy stuff.
Meta have reportedly removed Pride and LGBTQ+ themes from Facebook Messenger just days after changes to hate speech rules which will allow users to call queer people “mentally ill”.

(So yeah, need to move some family to a new messaging app. Telegrams out for being "too difficult". Suggestions?)

Happy holidays everyone! I hope you all have a lovely day x

I'm finding myself so easily caught up in negativity and rage posts.

Time to take a deep breath and try to focus on the positives. Giving people nice big squishy hugs.

Random musing of the day:

What would be different about the world if the standard weekend was instead Wednesday and Sunday?

I feel like generally it would be worse but that we might have high speed rail to get more done in a single day.

Not sure, I'm gonna think about this some more.

My Christmas dresses simultaneously are not warm enough and cover up too much to feel gorgeous.

This is the worst possible outcome.

If the NHS can help cis teens whose puberty is affecting them in negative ways then surely they can help trans teens in the same situation!

How does this make me feel? Angry. Angry and so damn scared. Why is targeting children somehow seen as acceptable?

My friends say I give off Glinda vibes!

(Is this a sign I need to work on myself or do I double down on this?)

Finally went to go see Wicked!
It was lovely!

So many parallels with the politics today which was interesting.

Conversations with the 8yo DM:

8yo DM: Your new character is Durv Lundfeld. He is an older dwarven fighter who is immune to thieves.

Me: How is he immune to thieves?

8yo DM: He doesn’t own anything.

For the programmer geeks out there. I know you exist.
Blog post idea: “We Don’t Talk [About Whitespace] Anymore”

While Prettier removed a huge class of frustrating code review nitpicks, it also created a guidance vacuum, and junior engineers are often ill-equipped to use the tool thoughtfully.

If this gets 25 likes, maybe I’ll finally write a draft.

Wanting a playlist setting that loops the same song like 5 times before going onto the next one. I get a song in my head and I want to listen to it again and again.

I'm probably screwed when I go see wicked at the weekend.

And some of the people who want the later protections are trying to push down the first domino!

I think it's flattering when people go through my old posts and like them. Doesn't matter if they've been up for days or weeks. If it makes you smile lemme know.

Making people happy makes me happy

Good morning world!

Continuing with the "I don't understand how the world works" theme. The president has decided not to abide by parliaments wishes and somehow the military is fine with this?!
Seems like we're in pretty standard coup d'état territory

His comrades were gone, his armour cracked, his body failing, but the cries of the helpless cut through the smoke.

"I’ve been burdened with glorious purpose," he whispered. "And though I fall, it will not be in vain."

He moves forward, blade extended. His last thought is of her.

(Attempt 4)
"I've been burdened with glorious purpose."

My writing prompt for the day is to try and get a hero to say that and not sound evil. I have failed every attempt at it so far.

As a huge fan of numbers going up (addicted to balatro at the moment) I'm very happy that I've just got to 500 followers!

South Korea declares emergency martial law.
South Korean parliament votes it down so now everything's okay again?

I don't understand what's going on in the world.

I only want to get out of bed if I'm going to feel as safe and protected as this!

So I'm noticing a large number of accounts with one single post. The post is a picture. And their profile description contains a link.
(Flirt with me for free or something similar)

I feel like these are bots and I'm wondering if I can filter them out or something.
