A kingdom of flesh and fire by Jennifer Armentrout. Fantasy Romance. It's good but far slower to get to the first sex scene than the first. I'd recommend From ash and blood (the prequel) and if you like that you'll want to read this to get more story. But on its own it doesn't hold up yet (roughly 1/3 in)

Purple, pink, cream, and LaCroix purple

It is. As someone who got a lot of those messages that were directed at AFAB folks and internalized them it was like putting a critical piece into a puzzle. It's one thing to hear about it and have some insights. It's another to be immersed in it so late in life comparably.

It's a particular kind of weird as a trans person. You go from being largely ignored while out and about to getting looks of disgust to getting catcalled all within the span of a year in my case.

There's a sort of, yay I pass from a distance kind of thing but then it settles in and it becomes yet another thing to try and tune out and hope words are the worst of it. Heaven forbid some guy hollers at you and then stops his truck up ahead cause you said nothing and didn't look his way.

Show it, the studies have shown that workers are more productive when remote. Evidence would help make things easier to stomach with this insane RTO push. Covid is still kicking around, and the dramatic return to commutes is damaging to our planet.

Coordination comes from competent leadership regardless of location. Any company larger than 10 people needs some way to handle coordination. Async coordination is really under trained and under utilized as a result but works really well with remote workers. You can't async everything tho so synchronous coordination happens the same way remotely as it does in person, with a meeting and sequential execution. This is basic stuff for people who work with logic often like programmers who have had remote work opportunities for decades now.

Mentoring, you're worried about that when most companies won't pay for training or provide time or bandwidth for mentorship. Assuming leadership is onboard with the actual costs and output reductions that come with mentorship, you collaborate mostly the same way IRL as you do remotely: by looking at a screen together. Which is far easier over zoom / teams. Or you ask questions in a call or through chat.

We really ought to make jobs that can be remote have to justify undue hardship to RTO too.

Firmly in camp conservative (yikes) Fav OS: Fedora Fav browser: Firefox Fav apps: Thunder and Element and technically feeder but only because I haven't had the energy to write my own rss feed consumer nervously in dart/flutter

I'm in the process of putting together my own next cloud and moving to proton mail. After that I'll be able to install bridges from a self hosted matrix to discord for people and teams for work. I use edge, outlook, and teams on my work computer but it occasionally connects to my home network so at some point I'll probably put it on an isolated vlan.

Yeah I think that makes CSS a manager. It's always prioritizing not important things

But the stories and epics too

• Jeffery wtf is this?
• ok so why didn't we remove this from the codebase!?
• define the variable please I'm begging for just a smidge of readability!!! ... Oh that's actually remarkably clever

I can understand why you'd be concerned about lemmy falling victim to dead internet theory but I can assure you that we are all totally real and definitely not super advanced AI trying to steal your personal data.

Thunder has been my go-to. Not sure I could specify why beyond the fact that it just works
