The door was opened for me by kind people who saw in me more than I do in myself. Am I holding the door open for anyone else? Or am I standing in the doorway and blocking up the hall? Am I just taking up space? Maybe I’ve missed my window to bow and leave the stage with grace.
Even those accomplishments have asterisks. I can think of virtually none that I can rightfully call my own. And all that I’ve done could have been done just as well (if not better) by someone else. I just happened to get there first. I think I’ve been more lucky than skilled.
Con drop is setting in, combined with brain weasels. Both are hitting harder than I expected. I’m questioning whether I’m still remotely relevant enough in the fandom to earn community guest status anywhere. I fear I’m coasting by on exaggerated memories of past accomplishments.

My timeline has been rather 'hmph and pout' free recently.

Plus cute pony girls are always a plus :3

@foalpapers Are you practicing out of body projection and possession by any chance?

Because I just said β€œhmph and pout” out loud.

Tell your local catgirl with separation anxiety and trauma that you still like her

They sometimes need reaffirmation

In an event sure to please a tiny subset of nerds (including Yours Truly): the second digit of the standard Unix timestamp just rolled over from 6 to 7. This happens only every 3.169 years or so (give or take a leap second ;-) -- but also, it's a reminder of encroaching doom.

In the year 2038, the standard Unix timestamp overflows (no longer fits into a 32-bit signed integer), triggering Y2k-like chaos in an unknown but probably large subset of embedded and other devices.

Whee!

If girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice,

And boys are made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails,

I contend that nonbinary individuals are made of salt and science and gender non-compliance

(Which is not at all to suggest that femme-aligned folks can't have deep voices. In these instances I was just deliberately imitating two characters established as male.)
