no rhyme or reason

Listen I get it but you CANNOT use "sensory nightmare" as an excuse to avoid essential things. You HAVE to find a way to make it work, such as finding effective alternatives. But you can't just avoid it.

Friend of mine was submitting a job application and discovered that they REQUIRED a photo:

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.

I was thinking of a pride art challenge people could do with their OCs, because I thought it'd be cute! A queer/trans artist with their creations.

Yep! They like break rubs best, followed by jaw rubs under the jaw, followed by gentle neck rubs where their head is in my hand and my thumb goes over and over the spot behind their jaw/ear. They also enjoy a finger stroking over the top of their heads (especially if their jaw is resting on my hand), and having their little head held like a stick shift (like being tucked into their wing to sleep I guess, because they'll fall asleep like that if they're already sitting down). They don't seem to mind the neck pets where I circle my fingers around their neck and stroke down (but they also don't particularly ask for it), and Bug likes her saddle pet (rapidly and harder than you'd expect, more like you're trying to brush something off her that's a little stuck on...I don't know why she's like that), but none of them really like anything past about mid back to be touched. Some of them have liked feet rubs (Princess is going to be like that, maybe Dragon too, but Bug and Mantis are Not).

Great news: after being banned from Night Power Tools, my wife has taken up whittling and is making me a spoon
