I'm gonna take advantage of the long weekend to soft launch my business doing portrait, cosplay, and gaming photography.

If you're in the #Seattle area, and want photos for speaker profiles, of your gaming group, or a bunch of stuff in between, hit me up.

What do I mean by "soft launch"? I know the website is incomplete and still kinda sucks, I have limited availability for now until I get through my surgery next month, and my portfolio is still a bit thin.

Irregular reminder to please CW flashing lights and fast colours changes to keep Fedi accessible. /soft

Had a seizure yesterday while checking my TL, and haven't been able to do anything all day due to how exhausting tonic clonic seizures are.

It'd be really nice if you could be careful with it, especially if we're mutuals. Not only for me, but for all seizure prone folks around.

Thanks if you care! Sending love and strength, if you want any.

There's three reasons for me to be open about oversharing bottom surgery stuff, so far as I can tell:

• Other people oversharing has helped me, and this pays it forward
• Many people would like trans people to shut the fuck up forever, and I am demand avoidant if nothing else
• Trans bodies have become incredibly politicized, such that talking about pretty intimate details of my life is also malicious compliance

I'm going to whisper this. So I'll choose my words carefully. I'll use general terms but am referring to specific multiple things. Please read between the lines.

Those of you that are doing things are having a good effect.

- The media is not covering you (this is a good sign. it means they dont want to bring attention to your actions).
- They are discussing you in board rooms and in decision making meetings.
- They are saying things like "we have to pause that project at that location because its currently drawing too much attention" and "we have to reframe this announcement to downplay that thing" and "we need to try these concessions to lower the heat a bit".

They are hoping you "get tired and bored and move to a new thing" so they can get back to work without interference.

Keep doing what you're doing. Join folks that are doing things if you aren't doing anything yet. Do what you can, as you can, when you can.

It is working.

Oh hah, I just remembered I have a pile of riso-printed stickers of our cats I should hand out at the Rust All-Hands tomorrow.

Because sure, type systems are fun, but have you seen my cats?

Going to start referring to tech companies the way public speakers have their maiden name listed in their bio at writing conferences:

Crowdstrike Falcon LogScale (née Humio LogScale) is a wife, mother, and cubscout pack leader. In between doing laundry and juggling groceries, she has a CVE.
