Yay for being able to drink water at PT without taking off my mask!

So grateful for my friend who bought these in bulk for his Covid conscious group. So grateful to have friends here who are actively as careful as I am, both for our own sakes and for the sake of our community.

This shouldn’t be so rare.

(If anyone if the NY capital region wants info, DM me)

EXCELSIOR!
I have to say, I am still not used to the lack of traffic here. I’m regularly needing to drive upwards of 20 miles, but even in rush-hour, it hasn’t taken more than 30, maybe 35 minutes.

Well, I hurt like crazy and still have to drive and unpack tomorrow, but we did it! I owe my friend so much more than the dinner I paid for & the books for his son (from when I was a reading teacher, picked for his level & interests), I would still be packing & be in so much more pain without him.

I am thrilled to get to announce that I am now part of the Twitch Pride Unity Guild!

This has reinvigorated me so much as a streamer, and I am so excited to jump back into things.

My little food oriented kitty will beg for food, but if I leave the area after feeding her she will follow me. She apparently always wants my company to eat 🥹

Here’s my Eclipse resting comfortably (she has resting grumpy face).

“Keep me fiercely kind” is tattooed on my leg. I basically adopted this prayer as my mantra when I first read it a few years ago.

(I cannot conceive of why anyone thinks you mean kindness to those causing harm, rather than towards the rest of us being harmed? Especially if they follow you?)
A post on x by Laura Jean Truman from 10/7/18: God, Keep my anger from becoming meanness. Keep my sorrow from collapsing into self-pity. Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking. Keep my anger turned towards justice, not cruelty. Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love. Keep me fiercely kind. Amen.

Rest stop bathroom selfie on my way to parents to celebrate my bday 💜

Also to take a better look at some of the places I may be moving to over the summer, it’s time to be near my parents again.
A selfie taken by a tablet in a purple case in a bathroom mirror. It’s of a white person with short brown hair, glasses, and a black kn95 mask. The tablet blocks most of the view of their torso, but the black shirt is just visible under a hoodie with a dragon design. The top of their blue skirt is visible above the bathroom sink.

Some more examples
The word "THIS!" with an arrow pointing up. The words and arrow are in the colors of the aroace flag. Two emotes next two each other. The first says "Work Lurk" in the colors of the trans flag. The second says "GG" In purple on top of a pan flag colored heart.

Hey y'all,
I make what I call word emotes and I'm considering opening commissions for them?
I would love to know if y'all would be interested, and where costs should be
The word "Cweepy" in a playful font. The letters are colored blue, pink, white, pink, blue, to match the trans flag. The word is outlined in a dark purple, and there is a witch's hat on the C, A broom under the word, and stars in the same dark purple In yellow with a black outline, the phrase "MOON CHEESE" In a font that looks like it's made of swiss cheese. The words are on top of a graphic of the moon In light yellow, the word "Awoooooo" goes diagonally down the image, on top of a dark purple wolf in a howling pose. The word "WORDS" Goes diagonally down the image, with two question marks above and tw below. The word and question marks are colored to make the bi flag.

32. Favorite Quote?
I have a huge number of favorite Terry Pratchett quotes, but the one tattooed on me is my favorite of all of them. It’s from Granny Weatherwax in Carpe Jugulum.
The quote:
“And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”
An ankle with two tattoos. A d20 with purple and teal watercolor and the number displayed being 13 or 18 depending on how you look. Below it in script is “Keep me fiercely kind” Above the top of a medical boot is a text tattoo on a leg. It reads “And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”
