Lilian ⚧ @memnus@swingset.social

Ahoy, New folks on swingset.social? Time for an #introductions post!

I'm Lilian, your local Mastodon old-timer and part of the mod team! I'm a thirty-something blue-haired transfeminine queer, living in the Seattle area. I'm an oversaturated solo polyamorous slut, casually kinky, trying to take care of myself and my chosen family. I dabble in all kinds of crafts, always looking for a new way to make useful and beautiful things.

For any that it may concern, my feed will be no less sincere today than my usual fare. Possibly more sincere, because I am home after a very long time away, and having Emotions.

And a cat.

Current status: on a plane waiting for everyone else to also be on a plane

This is sarcasm

Looking forward to celebrating Trans Day of Visibility with the TSA

I have officially ragequit my first world, after being knocked off a ledge in the nether, falling to my death, and being unable to retrieve any of my highly enchanted stuff

Started a new world, and dropped right next to an abandoned village, so I have moved into the little cottage by the sea.

What I really need to find is a planet with sulfuric acid oceans.

Referring to drone logistics hookups as taps or faucets, for example, have you tried hooking up a new titanium faucet? Better turn up the copper tap.

My "organic crystal" faucet is interstellar!

Gonna break this dude's heart when I tell him I don't fuck cryptominers

Who called it "making out to the sounds of New York gridlock" and not honky-panky?

find fuck and round out

I looked up what Escape from Tarkov is all about and ... I cannot fathom who could possibly enjoy that game, let alone put in the work and research to develop it? It's literal hell. It's proposing the worst possible failure case of liberalism/libertarianism, then making a game loop out of the cruelest possible way to cope with that world.

I think I might have finished the game to my satisfaction? I started a second base from the ground up, got it launching rockets on a regular basis, have a spidertron/power armor setup that can level a nest simply by walking through it. At this point I can log in just to watch the trains come and go.

I realized that the pipeline for creating rocket fuel is self-contained to oil products, so it can be produced remotely

And also that the trains for bringing it home can be fueled with said rocket fuel.

Four years ago today, I told @starkatt that the whole "male" thing wasn't working out anymore. It's been a hell of a ride since then, for sure.

Apparently my frame of reference for quantities of chocolate is a pie, as in, each bottle of this mead will contain one-sixth of a pie, or approximately twelve degrees (pi/15 radians) per glass

And when I put it that way, it actually seems like kind of a lot?

As far as I can tell, Mordred now drinks water by resting the side of her face in the bowl and letting it flow in

Burbling happily away.

For release in 2023: Friend of Bees—Brighter Days Ahead chocolate clove mead

Not the prettiest thing I've ever pitched, but as long as I don't forget to check the airlock it should turn out delicious.
