Hey everyone.

I want you to know that I am aware I'm an outsider to queer spaces and culture. I didn't realize I was queer in any way until I was in my early 30s so I didn't grow up learning things.

So if you see me making a mistake, please call me on it. I won't be mad, even if it hurts. I'd rather know then not.

Also if I'm in a space and making you uncomfortable, ask me to leave. I would rather leave then make others uncomfortable in their own space.

If you ever want to see what the city I live in looks like, this is a pretty good view of it (It doesn't look like any other city over been to due to the oceans and mountains and forest)

(Oh hey! Main and Hastings is where I wait for the bus after gaming! I play right near Science World! That is where I was tonight!)

So, I did a good.

A while ago I phoned worksafe BC to report a local grocery store had an improperly stored gas tank (no straps at all, stored with regulator on, so even if it didn't hurt someone when falling, it would turn into a missile.)

A friend of mine who works there took my call and today let me know what happened; They sent out an inspector who found THREE major safety violations putting the workers at risk, two of which have now been fixed, the final one of which will need CONSTRUCTION (it seems there was a storage area with NO SAFETY RAILINGS over a drop?!)

(The other was heavy machinery with no safety interlocks, which has now been fixed).

So yeah, feeling good about taking the time to make that call. Will keep in mind the fact I can do that in future.

(At work, I know who to contact to get it taken care of internally, and have fixed a few things myself)

Dropping to one post of Captain Awkward per day. Sure it takes me longer to get to the stuff I need, but it's more sustainable, and mainly serves to remind me that THIS IS A THING I'M WORKING ON.

I have also put How to win freinds and influence enemies on hold. I've been recommended it before, but the title makes it sound super manipulative which scares me? I don't want to beer manipulative. I want to be enrnest and honest.

Being reminded of why I spent *years* thinking everyone (including me) would be so much better off if I'd been boring an introvert would could just go off and never talk to anyone ever.

HECK FOXES. You really boost the heck out of anyone making noises o.0

(first time joining in since picking a sona, hope I did it right)

I *love* the humans as space orks genre of fiction: This one isn't one of the better ones, but its fun. (Whomever wrote it clearly doesn't know how machines actually work, but....)

(Also a..number of the characters in these stories this remind me of the Seattle foxes, which I think says something about humanity if the best people to fulfill our ideals are trying to leave humanity....)
