Play Ball and Fight Fascists@cafechatnoir@mastodon.social
Cats, Coffee, Whiskey & Writing. And Padres baseball. And the O's, too. GMU alum. I cuss a lot. She/her Anti Fascist. Mid-Atlantic, USA.
Also, it's not that I don't follow back, it just takes me forever to get around to it.
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>OK, I had to get a shot of this and show all of you!</p><p>The front paws crossed.</p><p>The back paws crossed AND holding the tail in place lest it run away.</p><p>The wild hair, despite being brushed more than a few times today.</p><p>I love my adorable floof dragon so much.</p>
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Jorge is also very clever when he wants to be. (Like all cats, I suppose.)</p><p>So, since we're weaning off Sean's prednisolone for his allergy test, there is more grooming and fur pulling.</p><p>Jorge will sometimes groom Sean. Complete with fur pulling.</p><p>And my hand to the heavens, I swear when I tell Jorge, "Don't pull your brother's fur" I get an astonished look of, "Why? That's how he grooms. I am HELPING."</p>
War on the Castle, Peace in the Valley🛡️🍉🇵🇸 🏳️🌈I’ve compiled an A-Z field manual specifically for people who use their voice to challenge power—especially on social media. It’s written for activists, organizers, journalists, and anyone who has reason to believe they might be on someone’s watchlist. Not theory—just facts, tools, tactics, and what you’re really up against.

Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Though my overseas peeps are routinely horrified at my honesty and willingness to basically say, "We're not in the shit *yet* but if one more thing goes wrong, we're fucked" - my local management has said on more than one occasion that they genuinely appreciate the candor.</p>
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>So, there is a distinct difference in style when I have to present status on feature testing vs my overseas counterparts.</p><p>My colleagues: Feature Z testing is 63.75% complete and everything is on track for completion by the end of the sprint. (There is NEVER a problem, even when there is.)</p><p>Me: Well, I’m nowhere, fired up the app, immediately found a bug, dev is turning it around, I think things will be OK if nothing else goes sideways, which isn’t a given, so maybe the next sprint. We’ll see?</p>

Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Jorge decided he wanted to sleep with me in the middle of the night. 😻</p><p>Sure, he was looking for a 3AM snack, and gave in and just went to sleep, but it's still sweet.</p>
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Alright, status report delivered! </p><p>Now I get to sit through the rest of the meeting with nothing to contribute. </p><p>I'm so glad we only do this weekly. I can't even imagine the time wasted in a daily standup.</p>
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Sean: WTF is he doing up here? He's never awake before 9AM. HE SHOULD BE IN HIS BED STILL.</p>
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Jorge looking very regal this morning!</p>
Play Ball and Fight Fascists<p>Happy hump day!</p><p>It's weekly status meeting day and I get to say, "Well, I started testing this feature yesterday and was off to the races until I hit a bug on the second test, so that's back with dev now!"</p><p>(This feature took almost two extra weeks to get out of development to start with. No, I'm not panicking about the test time shrinking. Yet.)</p>
