the void went to rehab and now it’s got all these lil gay people in it !

reading a chat from 6 months before I knew anything about being trans and it’s so goddamn eggy I even recommend a story called “the egg”

My workspace setup is so well optimized it virtually doubles the speed and efficiency of my procrastination

"talk to someone in the way they listen best" is advice i keep giving a guy at work and he keeps finding different ways to say no

are youtubers better at getting to the point irl or do they have no friends

finally a useful #tech guide on this !!

my ideal job: software engineer team counselor

basically my role is similar to a manager or team lead, except I have no power whatsoever and leadership actively ignores what I say. I am simply an outlet to hopelessly vent, sort of acting as an emotional rubber duck

this is a serious suggestion as the biggest impact i've made at work so far this year is keeping co-workers moderately regulated

realizing "less housework and self maintenance" is my kink

bodycon clothing is a great way to emphasize I have no boobs or butt or hips and keep my ego in check

trying to watch Red One but my media server keeps crashing possibly because it knows

ginny's "dealing with conflict with boys in the workplace" strategy:

• start out with a thank you; ideally related to the argument at hand, but be careful not to sound sarcastic. "Thank you for bringing up , i'm glad we have a champion for this effort since leadership hasn't paid it much attention!" oh leadership, you're so silly

• compliment them on the thing that is frustrating you most. "I've always been grateful for your dedicated stewardship of our shared libraries, and have aimed to emulate that in my own work". This has an added benefit too - it sometimes helps them keep emotions in check if they think your behavior is really their behavior (because you're just a silly girl emulating him).

• make your request seem a huge imposition you wouldn't waste their time with except, gosh, i was so silly and messed up earlier and this will help us out of a jam. Cram compliments in here too! "Last quarter was rough and we had to make a lot of compromises to execute at the speed leadership wants. You've been so helpful in our attempts to get out of our hole ha ha!!"

• never appeal to your own authority especially if you don't actually have any authority, but especially if you do.

• never escalate the disagreement; if you want an escalation it has to be their idea (even if you are the one that puts it in their head). You doing it will piss off the people involved and leadership will assume it's petty emotional squabbling. basically, you can't do this for the same reason you cannot appeal to your own authority.

• sign off all emails cheerfully, making sure to point out how excited you are to be working closely with them in the coming new year

first class support for tone tags would be cool

Fedi communication pro tip: not everyone has the same context and information as you. Don’t assume everyone talking about “puppy girl horny posts” is talking about serious moderating issues.

Sometimes they’re talking about the fedi courtship ritual that goes by the same name.

I’m in my straight girl arc but still wanna ring in the new year by kissing a girl

after all it’s new years eve, not new years steve :neomouse_nerd:

the true transfem struggle, being cold but unwilling to wear pants
