💠Callisto💠

That's alright, I'm not upset. (I'm flattered, actually.) My concerns about it are personal and related to my current circumstances more than anything else.

I'm vehemently against Respectability Politics because the people who hate us will continue to do so regardless of our Respectability. If the person is a fence sitter who can be convinced to ignore your personhood because of how you dress or whatever, I don't have time for them either.

It's kind of a reddish brown. Not quite ginger, but leaning somewhat in that direction

I may consider a face reveal. It might not be for a while though.

Good question. They got me too, and I've had a lot of trouble finding folks (other than my family) that stick around.

Some local libraries host events around specific hobbies, though. Those might be worth a shot.

I dyed it sort of a medium auburn! It's a definitely a bit different from my natural brown, but I don't think it clashes with my eyes (which are also brown)

THE QUEST WAS SO GOOD. I really enjoyed it :)

Fun fact: I picked "Callisto" as a nickname because I was worried that going by "Galileo" would be presumptuous

Discovering Jupiter's four largest moons (including Callisto) is one of the many things Galileo is known for, which is why they're collectively referred to as the Galilean moons

Dyeing my hair before I continue the Archon quest (I meant to dye my hair BEFORE today but I kept getting distracted. I have put it off for several days)

Playing Genshin all day was very worth it. (Also, please rest assured that I will not be spoiling the story even though it's been over a week)

Oh dear. I hope you feel better soon :(

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Even the worst of the worst deserve basic decency, and to withhold it is to stoop to their level.

I haven't unpacked my flannels yet this isn't fairrrrr

on another note I forgot how fucking cold it gets out here
what do you mean it's 59 degrees (15°C) out. It feels like 40 (5°C)

It's pretty common with older people, but I've seen a lot more of it in people from my generation. I was like that for years, and it's taken a lot of long conversations with my anthropologist mother (and several fate-provided 2x4s to the head) to snap me out of it.

Humans are really bad at dialectical thinking, especially when their pride gets in the way. I often see people following a mutually exclusive train of thought.

"I am confident that this thing is true, and I am right, therefore this other thing must be false, and I will accept no other argument."

no doctor should be using the term ADD past the 90s, especially with patients

I'm no economist but the fact that more than 42 million Americans (1 in 8!) are on SNAP (i.e., food stamps) says that the federal minimum wage is way too low.

despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

In aviation, why do they use nautical miles and not aeronautical miles? 🙃

In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread to save his sister’s starving son

He serves 19 years in jail & emerges the hero

The villain? The cop who’s determined to pit him back in jail

For the crime of not wanting someone to starve

Telling this story for absolutely no reason at all.

ISN'T IT SO EXCITING THOUGH

I hope so too! Thank you for the encouragement

It's a Mental/Behavioral Health Technician position. I've been in the field for about three years, and I'm pretty good at it. My interviewer was very impressed with my resume. It's not my dream job, but helping people makes the stresses and struggles all worth it.

I like short job interviews. I had one scheduled for 1:00 PM today, got there at 12:45, and I'm already back in my car. On top of that, I have a really good feeling about this one.

as a person with anxiety don’t text me shit like “we need to talk” or “i need to talk to you later”

bitch i will jump out this window, stop playing w/ me

You're right and you should say it

you're gonna eat this.

I am unfortunately working on it (I have to)

It's got plenty of imperfections, as any piece of media does, but I like it.

I was up super late stargazing last night with a couple family members and a friend. We drove about an hour to get to a place with little to no light pollution. Didn't get home until like 2:30 AM, and then I slept most of the day, and got almost nothing done.
So worth it. Absolutely would go again.

Wow. That's amazing.

Here, hear!
