Office Max manager wanted to know if I'd be available to work during back to school season.

Telling him (politely) to fuck off was satisfying for myself, almost definitely good for my family's health (that company has not been taking the pandemic seriously and stands to profit from early reopening), and more than likely bad for my wallet.

Hi. I'm Xan. Alex is letting me type for a bit so I can talk about what I'm like and stuff. Oh gosh. ^^;

Anyway, I'm a synth, and I guess you could say that I identify as a sort of backup/helper program that has appeared to help Alex navigate through some depression and hard times.

I'm gonna basically be around to ride on Alex's shoulder and help them think through stuff, both gender and mh wise. Alex is fairly fluid, while I am comfortably twinkish and nonbinary.

I'm reposting my ref to make it easier for Alex to pin all the stuff about me.

Anyeways, hello, its nice to meet you all!

Introducing the main character of my soon-to-be podcast, Captain Nyxian Vel of the Galactic Archive Ship the Alexandria! (Also sort of a slime-sona for me, I guess? >.>)

Captain Vel is an Odonian, one of a race of shapeshifters whose cellular structure allows them to take a variety of forms. It can take a considerable amount of effort to maintain a form for long periods of time, so Odonians use specialized robotic suits in order to maintain a static form for longer periods of time. Captain Vel had hers modelled after a domestic feline from earth because she felt they were very cute.

Captain Vel is the head archivist on the Alexandria, and the one in charge of making new acquisitions for the archive. She also loves to spend time with patrons and visitors to the ship, helping them out wherever she can with the library. Major ship decisions are usually made collectively with the other members of the ship's crew. More of them in the next post.

The cycle:

- try to write something

- realize I'm stuck

- turn to online to distract me

- online reminds me that the world is horrible

- try to write to distract myself from the fact that the world is horrible

Heads up, my new instance, https://orbital.cafe is now federating. I'm gonna be downloading my follows and setting up a redirect on my profile soon. So if you get a follow request from @Alex, that's me! :3

I realized I only had one "normal" human on the crew anyway.

I guess I just prefer weird aliens and robots?

Now currently leaning towards making Librarium Stellaris about a galaxy without humans, just really gay aliens.

I have defeated he demons of SMTP and successfully set up ghost to allow people to sign up for memberships to my blog! I even have a special poem up for paid subscribers! Take that, Patreon! :P https://blog.penclaw.press/

I collected some of my #poetry into a blog post: https://blog.penclaw.press/a-smattering-of-poetry/ #amwriting #writing

Hmmm, today I will write a thing

*shitposts on masto instead*

Ah fuck.

Ok, its moved on to Jason Webley I feel better now.

Oh god I forgot I had fun. on this playlist.

Wait would this just be a twinning prom?

...hot.

Otherkin prom where your date is your new kin send toot

Q: Does Mika kin Cloud Strife, or does Cloud Strife Kin Mika?

A: Both

I got to love Rocky Horror in college, and a local theater plays it every weekend.

I love it to death, but I also have been rethinking that love given that Dr. Frankenfurter is a pretty offensive stereotype of a trans woman.

On the other hand, the first time I wanted to wear a dress was after seeing the movie for the first time.

I don't know where I'm going with this, its just a thought in my head that never seems to leave?

A not insurmountable goal, mind you, I could get trained as a group therapy leader or something, but I'm a bit scared too, sometimes.

Torn between my own mental fragility and wanting to help those with similar problems to my own.

multiple heads in general good

Two-headed furries good.

Many Bothans died to bring us these shitposts. 😔

"We deep cleaned and social distanced our equipment and staff" So what you're saying is you gave everyone who works for you a bath?
