Welcome

This pinned post is here to keep track of what I’m up to, and to set some ground rules.

What I’m Up To at the Moment

  • My art on Tumblr (search result by the tag “JGArt”)
  • www.jackalgirl.net  -- where you can find “Connection”, my fanwork novel set in the world of C.J. Cherryh’s “Foreigner” s-f series (that is, the novel an ePub or .PDF copy; see below for a link to my AO3 page).  -- also where you can find the maps I’ve been noodling at for the Earth of the Atevi, based on re-reads of the book.
  • Aunt Lorenza’s Bookcase - semi-frequently updated site that contains artwork, stories and (hopefully eventually) crafts, from the perspective of Maximillian DeSoto’s -- a-hem, eccentric -- aunt, Lorenza Towada.
  • Thoughts of Lorenza’s Architect - semi-frequently updated blog from an OOC perspective.  It’s here where you can find my Ingredients in The Outer Worlds list.
  • Sæwynn æt Cnolle - the blog for my SCA persona (I’m a herald in the SCA, so it leans fairly heavily towards heraldic art).
  • Jackalgirl @ Archive of Our Own (AO3) - my page there.  I am currently working on “The Journeyman”, a fanfic about my player-character, Æethelflæd Fiori, in The Outer Worlds.  A completed copy of “Connection” is there as well (and includes illustrations!).
  • Redbubble - I have a very small quantity of stickers, but hmu if you’re interested in having a copy of something I’ve done in the form of something on Redbubble.
  • “The Order” - a working title for a Star Wars fanfic (main characters: Elet Pren, TIE-fighter pilot and Arik ta Essim, Sith actuary).  I’ve posted some excerpts and illustrations for this here.  Maybe I’ll post it on AO3 some day, but I’m not sure.
  • ArtStation: https://jackalgirl.artstation.com
  • Mastodon -- @Jackalgirl on octodon.social

Ground Rules

  • Don’t follow me if you’re a pure porn blog* (i.e., all you do is reblog animated .gifs of people engaged in explicitly sexual activities).  I will block and report you.  I do not have issues with sex workers, but if your blog is centered around that, I’m not really interested.  * Obviously porn bots can’t parse this, but I’ll block those, too.
  • NEW! I realize that the slew of recent empty-blogs-with-stolen-pictures-of-young-women are probably all AI-generated; however, please know that I firmly and absolutely support complete bodily autonomy, which is the freedom of all adults to have complete freedom of choice over when and where they do or do not grant the service of their bodies (and mind) to other people (which in my mind also includes fetuses), and be free from coersion, duress, or undue influence when contemplating those decisions.  This is non-negotiable.  If you are an anti-abortion blog (or your AI has somehow generated a name like “anti-abortion-informan”), do not interact with me.
  • I’ll also generally block empty blogs* and blogs whose sole reason for existence is to promote goods for sale, “hot girls” games/media, as well as blogs that promote a “luxury lifestyle”. * If your blog is empty because you haven’t gotten around to writing anything or reblogging anything, that’s totally okay, but please consider sending me a DM to say hi.  You don’t have to say anything more that that -- it just helps me weed out the bots and scammers.
  • If I do not know you (i.e., I don’t follow you and therefore have a sense that you are, in fact, a real person) and you send me an ask asking me to appeal on your behalf for money for you to take care of <insert heartstring-tugging situation here, such as a sick pet/child/friend, personal medical bills, etc.>, I will delete your ask.  If you follow me, I’ll take a look first, but I’ll delete asks from complete unknowns. I’m sorry, but this is a common scam -- if you’re actually for real, you can thank all the scammers for making it impossible for me to trust the plea of a complete stranger on the Internet. 
  • I think it’s vanishingly unlikely that white supremacists, incels, TERFs, anti-LTBTQ+ or other exclusionary/fascist-leaning blogs are going to be interested in this blog, but don’t bother: I will block you.
  • I’m here for fandom, Ancient Egypt, and sheer nerdery, with a side of Stoicism, history, discussions of ways to identify and avoid undue influence, and the seeking of the Light (though that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate dark humor).  If that’s you, too, then welcome!

I love how the price is, itself, kind of evil (change-producing). Perfect thread, 10/10, no (additional) notes.

American here (go Devil Eggs!) I feel like the referenced, presumably American commenters are maybe coming at this from the wrong angle. We shouldn't be focusing on the guy who quit. Instead, we should be asking: "What is happening at this company that makes an employee with 6 years' worth of experience and institutional knowledge just up and quit like that, and in such a way that earns the admiration of a co-worker?" Are they both just jerks? Maybe. Or could it possibly be that the company and its management treated/treats its employees with such contempt that not only would a person walk away like this (and potentially risk a bad referral from a future company, if they said they'd do one thing and then did another), but that other fellow employees would be in awe of this and celebrate it? What does it say about the management that a person would set them up with specific expectations, and then absolutely and utterly torch those expectations? That the person is a jerk? Maybe. But could it also be that that's how the management has treated them? (I think it's more likely) We Americans like to pride ourselves on our independence. Perhaps we should think again about how independent we are, if we feel like we owe an explanation to a company for walking out on them, or any more time than they deserve. There is no legal requirement to give, or honor, any notice at all (in the USA) if you are an at-will employee or work at an at-will company. Don't forget that the "right to work" movement (which is really a disguised way of allowing companies to fire you for any damned reason whatsoever) also includes the right to quit.

if he’d laid the garbage fire of his entire soul aside for a wig and heels back in the 80s, we’d live in a better world.

I want a story about an Italian vampire.

No romance, no action.

Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”

TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing

have you ever met an Italian man

the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc

a bunch of pissed off vampires stuck in Venice because they can’t go over moving water

Not to victim blame, but you’d have to be a pretty bad Italian to even get turned into a vampire in the first place.

the only two places practically immune to vampires are texas and italy

Let me tell you of A Thing.

Lithuania has no vampires, I guarantee it.

I think having a baby niece is great cause my brother will send me just a constant stream of messages that sound indistinguishable from how someone at Jurassic park would text if they were being hunted by the raptor

[Video transcript:

(Meow in the background. The meows continue through the video.)

So, (meow) today I am making... (meow) (snicker) pine- (meow) pinecone dice. (meow) (meow) My cat- (meow) He- (meow) He wants to narrate, too (meow). SHUT UP, THUNDER. (a beat.) He's not allowed in the bedroom (meow) 'cause he beats my other cat up (meow) and she's in here right now (meow) so he's throwing a fit.

Anyways, we're making pineco- (wheeze) i lost my train of thought.

So, I use- (meow) (exasperated) pi- i can't fucking these blank inserts (meow) to put the pinecones in (a series of meows interrupt) and then I put the pl- I had this all planned out and I was gonna explain exactly what I was doing and then the (meow)... the CAT...

the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs

Image

the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend

I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman

excalibelle

the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter

I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names! 

AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky. 

Reblog if you’re gay for the trans lesbian poly moon who supports all woman.

IIRC, with the waxing and warning the moon many times has been a symbol of change so why would the moon EVER been a symbol of cisness??

I’m cis and I 100% percent agree that if any celestial body is going to be trans, it’s the moon.

Also the phases of the moon are her reminding us that change is natural and transitioning to a new you is awesome and beautiful actually.
