We had the entire patio to ourselves 🙂
At Brown's Social in downtown #VictoriaBC with my friend, Natalie. She's a horticulturalist, living in Deep Cove. We had some eats & drinks before going across street for PechaKucha Night VOL. 20.
They played #GenX tunes, the whole time we were there. We lucked out on getting street parking, one block away. Then lucked out on empty patio, on arrival. We had our own fire table 🥰
I have some #GenZ coworkers and was telling them about how we used to take our car stereo face plates with us when we left the car back in the days when stereos weren't integrated into the dash and you wanted a nice one.
911 has been not only a longtime bad joke on us #BIPOC folks but also frequently used as a fuxking weapon on us more times than not.
You don't fuxking call 911 on anyone you don't want cops to sic. Especially BIPOC folks. https://youtu.be/MwNhwwcQ4Ow?si=ctZehItTTlc9FR2P
If I were to get a tattoo of a phrase on my back in cursive writing, it would be, "I am self-reliant, self-directed, and individualistic with slacker tendencies and very cynical, disaffected, dissatisfied and rebellious.
It's been a year since I joined this instance, and I've learned a lot more about #Mastodon that I've decided to make a new #introduction

#GenX parent of a #nonbinary child. So supporting them is important to me. I play #Minecraft, and I #oilpaint as hobbies. I am a #geek and have been since before it was cool.
The idea that one's gender can change regularly is not compatible with hormones and surgery. I think both can make sense but they are different things. We need different words. Maybe it's gender vs sex but I don't think there's any kind of broad agreement on this. #trans
My #genX understanding of this was to try to reject gender. It was a prison put on us by purveyors of culture to control us. Adults could do what they want with their body, but you could also be masculine in a dress etc.
My brain decided to bring up this memory for no reason today. Cereal box records. Back in the day, kid cereals would add cardboard records on the back of their boxes. You could cut them out and play them on any normal record player. The grooves were made with thin plastic and songs were pretty short.
