Updated #introduction!
I'm Melissa (they/them)! Some of my projects are in my bio, but in general I am and do:
#polyamory #relationshipanarchy
I write. I #webdev. I play way too much Fallen London. I collect tattoos. I will not call posts "toots".
I like learning to be more imaginative in devising solutions to difficult problems. 🎊
plants........
are good
yes.
OMG. We decided to start playing "Full Metal Furies" this morning, and I'm in love. It's *so* cute and charming and well put together. I'm liking the range of femininity in the cast of characters, esp combined with the villains not being misogynist in their opposition. And a whole bunch of other things--I should write a Steam review.
The learning curve is a little steep for me (I'm not very accustomed to controllers and don't play this genre much), but I 💜 Erin. http://cellardoorgames.com/our-games/full-metal-furies/

The Fallen London redesign is so wonderful. http://www.failbettergames.com/fallen-london-website-redesign-now-live/ I didn't like some things about the mobile app (dat refresh, tho), but its UI was pretty amazing and I was sad to have to go back to the web UI a few months ago.
But now I can be on that Morelways 1872 grind so much more easily. (Mr. Eaten, here I come.) 💃 #fallenlondon #smen

Woo-hoo, the May ep of Audacious Compassion is out: https://avery-weir.net/podcast/audacious-compassion-022-two-spaces-per-tab/. We discuss some heavier topics there, so mind the CWs on the ep before listening.
I'm really excited to finally be working on getting transcriptions up for the eps. Major accessibility thing that's been on our to-do list.
“Your Body Has A ‘Second Brain’ In Your Butt, Scientists Say”
http://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/05/31/second-brain-butt-scientists/
“Researchers discovered that the neurons in the digestive system fire in synchronized blasts, which propel waste out of the body. This is the same way neurons in the brain fire as they send signals throughout the body.”
Good news, everyone!
You’re already a smartass
wow just signed up for fiverr because i desperately need some freelance work to get by... and it's a pretty scary place. freelancers "race to the bottom" in terms of wages.
does anyone know any good freelance sites for web devs...? or know anyone who needs wordpress, javascript, html/css, python, node.js, geospatial data, or some similar tech work done.
today i learned AOL is owned by Verizon through subsidiary Oath Inc., “Build Brands People Love”
Oath Inc currently runs both AOL and Yahoo!, which are brands they did not build and which people do not love, so i'm not too sure where their tagline comes from
