For today's chat on #ScottishFolklore, let's talk about the word "fairy."
Today, there seems to be a divide on what people think of when someone says “fairy.” Some people will picture a tiny humanoid girl with translucent bug-like wings, while others, perhaps thanks to a surge in young adult fiction, will picture something more like a Tolkien elf. Those are the height of a regular human, but with pointed ears and some magical ability.
Historically, though, it is more complicated.

Oh, #7DFPS is coming up! That reminds me that I had a passing thought for an FPS concept that was basically an excuse to queer up boomer shooters by making it about a demon goat lady and her fairy girlfriend fighting their way out of Heaven's prisons

About stress from things around you
Remember, that you will have physiological reactions to prolonged stress.
That includes things like your safe environment rapidly changing over night and continuing to do so over an extended period of time, even when that environment is online.
Even if it's moving from one place to another, or having other people move into your place.
Please be compassionate with yourself, rest when you need it, and practice listening to your body. ❤️
Trans rights are human rights.
Black lives matter.
No human is illegal.
Love is love.
Their body, their choice.
Science is real.
Kindness is everything.

Hello, everyone! Here's my #introduction!
My name is Elfi and I'm a hobbyist game developer, with an interest in the field dating back to my childhood. I'm also a general tinker, plus I love moths and the fair folk, and personally want to see more games about them, even if I have to make them myself!
I've been on Mastodon for quite a few years (as @elfi), but with the big surge of gamedev folks on the fediverse, I am all too happy to make a space for my dev work and connect with the community!
Hi everyone, just letting you know I have a gamedev-centric alt on @lampfairy <3 Hoping to use that environment to help me focus on development stuff, so I'll post my progress and boost useful development insight there. Give me a follow if you're interested! <3
Twitter Screenshot of a Social Media Take That Blew My Puny Mind
Oh my goodness this came across my feed on the Twitters (my notifications no longer work but I see my timeline still sort of?) and this post by Amanda Annis over there is so so good, about Tik Tok and Instagram Reels and how it is not a social media, it is *gig* media. Unpaid gig media, for most of us.
