Hehehe I had her so scrambled. :⁠-⁠D

Wheee almost the weekend. Just gotta get through today then I have plans to do some fursuiting, I have a subject to hypnotise and tinker with, and potato leek soup to make. It's going to be a good one. ^⁠_⁠^

This was incredibly fun to get to do with her. ^⁠_⁠^

Shout out to @plushwah.tf for a lovely time last night and for being my favorite plush critter. She's so fun to play with.

Heck yeah, scored amazing seats for the Lucy Darling show in Detroit this March. I've been following Carisa Hendrix's work for years now so I can't wait to get to see her perform the act in person.

I'm having trouble adulting this morning.

The last time the US invaded another part of the world I lost my best friend to the war. How many people lost their best friends last night? How can people make the decisions to do these awful things?

I made Tan Tan Ramen last night for dinner. 🤤

Huh, wisdom from a cap that I actually agree with.

Stuff I accepted in the last year: I run on praise and positive feedback. I spend time in kid headspace with "age appropriate" activities to unwind and destress. I have a hypnosis kink apparently. My ADHD makes for some really particular habits, hobbies, and flaws. And it's all ok.

In the coming year I intend to indulge in the things that bring me joy, even if they are weird or silly.

I made a little collage out of photos from our Disney World trip last month.

Shoot, I need to find more folks to do hypnosis play with. I have the strongest urge to take someone into trance, do a TF scene for them, then leave their head all scrambled for a while dealing with the perception of their new form before bringing them back out.

A person does their best work when they are passionate about the thing that they are working on. A person who can bring their whole self to work does a better job than one that must compartmentalize. A person's 100% varies each day and that is ok. These are the core principles of management for me.

I went for A5 Japanese Wagyu shabu shabu today with @kbooki.bsky.social and it was everything I wanted it to be. 🤤

I feel like with the rise of AI we should all consider the metric of "resources required to perform a task." I hypothesize that for many decision and research related tasks human work consumes less resources per operation. We don't have infinite energy and matter and we need to consider that.

Testing a post from the web interface.

What are your stereotypes for red pandas and how many do I adhere to?

Testing to see if things I post immediately get deleted.

Weird, my posts keep showing up as deleted?

Out of all the musical artists I've listened to over the years I think I know the lyrics to more TMBG songs than other artist hands down.

It’s spicy autocorrect.

Still haven't gotten my test results. I'm sure the holidays have the lab backed up but I would really like to know if I have leukemia or not. >⁠.⁠<

I deep fried a steak, shrimp, and hash browns in beef tallow for dinner. Whee decadent holiday meals.

CW: Hypnosis, regression Gosh would I love to put someone deep into trance, take them down into kid headspace, get them dressed appropriately, sit them on the couch in front of their favorite cartoons, then just dote on them with treats and snuggles until they forget they were ever an adult.

I tell ya, sometimes I still love a Dragon's Milk. Shout out to anyone who remembers having one of these out of the keg at the FCN Sponsor's lounge.

Gotta go see the family today for our yearly Christmas thing. It's good to see my parents and sister, but oof I am not looking forward to 5 hours in the car today. At least once this is over I have 14 days to do whatever. Lots of creating in my future; lab shenanigans and smut writing wheeee.

I've been distracting myself by really leaning into my hypnosis work. I took a friend down into trance last night and absolutely inundated them with joy thanks to a TF scene I wrote. Watching their reaction to the experience delighted me so much; I love this and I have to find others to practice on.

Between waiting on some potentially life changing test results and the news today about trans healthcare having any hope for the future is getting really tough.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Wow, "How Am I Supposed To Love Myself?" by Beth McCarthy straight up mare me cry upon hearing it.

Currently waiting on results for a Leukemia test. I really hope this comes back negative. I am going to be a mess until I know.

I made maharagwe. 😀

Fursuits in nature are so cool! (It's getting fursuits down out of nature that's hard!!)

I managed to put a second person into trance this afternoon. :⁠-⁠D So I guess hypnosis is going to be my eccentric trans girl talent.

Big project over last few months: building a new computer and #simracing rig (with a lot of help from Olefin) I've yet to source the monitor and stand that will go with it, but that'll hopefully be my kit for virtual Daytona in a month. Also something for guests to more easily try when visiting!

Gosh, I feel like I should have a candy bowl of tums in my office with how working DevOps has been lately.

10 meetings ahead of me today and all I really want to do is write smut. 🙃 Gonna be a long one.

Sometimes dealing with bad news involves eating an entire tin of salmon roe.

I got to put a friend into trance tonight and oh heck am I having too much fun playing with hypnosis as part of kink play. I'm just so jazzed that I seem to have a knack for trancework.

Gotta give a talk to a hundred or so IT people today. I've done so many of these in my career but I still get nervous as heck.

very good tumblr post about why to make a fursona, and in the replies, a couple followups on how to make a fursona

Sitting around, writing smut.

It felt like a day to treat myself. Broiled short ribs, ketchup fried rice, veggies braised in meat drippings, and a little kimchi.

This is not what I expected when @occasionallycow.bsky.social said she'd do the dishes

Your mom still has this hanging in her home and it's full of photos from you in elementary and middle school.

Most of my friends are heading to MFF; my next two days are academic council meetings for work that I have to be at. >.>

I have 2 weeks off at the end of the year. Here's hoping I see people and do things in the lab instead of just frittering the time off away on the couch. This cold December is making the latter sound attractive though...

We built a thing! Various IKEA hardware, plus a WLED deployment.

I spent 7 hours in meetings today, in person. Raise your hand if your social batteries don't last that long. 🖐️
