A blue-haired woman in an ornate sci-fi imperial outfit; she is Aisling Duvall from Elite Dangerous.

I'm going to blame this on the star I nearly clipped jumping into a system. Nothing like arriving to hear the ship's computer announce "Fuel scoop disengaged." Why was it engaged. How many atoms of hydrogen did I pluck from that star when I exploded out of hyperspace past it.

A Mandalay starship from Elite Dangerous that has very little pain left on it.

My poor exploration-fitted Mandalay is feeling the light-years over in Elite Dangerous.

Can I offer you a daredevil armed with Bifrost?

Not perfect, since it's only three, but uh... That's a _very_ specific color combination, wouldn't you say?

The Strato Purple paint for the Lynx Highliner. It is reasonably evocative of the nonbinary flag's colors, with yellow, white, and purple, missing the black as a specific stripe.

So apparently you can get a trans flag colors paintjob on the Lynx Highliner in Elite Dangerous?

Preview screen for the Strato Coral paint for the Lynx Highliner from Elite Dangerous, done in pastel blue, pink, and white. It seems to be quite evocative of the trans flag.

A dark-skinned Viis paladin with a flaming sword, stabbing it skyward. The surroundings appear to be a tropical beach house. It is night, and lit as if from an off-screen fire.

Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being

@miiagarro: Can't believe women fought to work.

@designmom: We didn't fight to work. Women have ALWAYS worked. We fought to get paid.

Doing this on an open world prospect means three of these things are just sitting in a wood cabinet in my house, now. It's fine. There's nothing to be concerned about. The Olympus region is tectonically stable! There's practically no risk! #Icarus

Tooltip from Icarus for a Bio-Warhead from the Broken Arrow mission. The initial tooltip is "Terraforming tool or catastrophic bio-weapon, you decide." The lore text is "Responsible for the so-called 'genocide' of Icarus's native life in the terrazone, each 'warhead' contains sufficient enzymatic material to 'adjust' a trillion tons of atmosphere. Handle with care."

This is fine. Nothing to worry about. The Moa is not being infused with exotic radiation. #Icarus

Two extractors running on an exotic deposit, encased in a concrete shelter. A moa is napping in the middle, ominously lit with the purple glow from the deposit and extractors.

Who me, lurking in a little concrete bunker in the arctic region while the night passes, because I neglected to bring a bedroll or harvest the fur and leather I'd need? Nah. #Icarus

A concrete shelter with a campfire; despite everything, it's a crisp 11.63 degrees Celsius right next to the fire, because it's in the southern glacier.

Caves, as they say, of Qud.

You are being watched.

It's a familiar feeling. When someone has watched you in the past, when it's light that's betrayed your presence, you made a friend of the darkness. You pulled your hat brim low over your eyes. You stepped behind the cover of a thatched wall. But those who watch you now watch in spite of such simple obstructions. Their sight isn't mediated by the rays of a gleaming star or torch but by something much older. If there are ways to conceal yourself from these seeing eyes, if there are new kinds of darknesses to befriend, you know nothing of them.

Oh, also, the building aspect is reasonably nice. Once you figure out how to handle the risk of lightning strikes on wooden housing, it can get (and is designed to get!) reasonably cozy.

A bedroom in Icarus, with electric heat and lighting and a mix of rustic and carved furnishings.

A workshop in Icarus, well-lit with plenty of room.

A greenhouse in Icarus, on an upper floor. The roof is made of reinforced glass to resist the storms.

An outside view of a stone base of operations in Icarus, with an illuminated greenhouse occupying half of an upper floor. A barn, also made of stone, is visible behind it, and a forested wilderness beyond the lake in the distance.

Finally got some electricity going to lights; there's a solar panel supplementing the two wind turbines, and once I get another panel and an advanced battery rack or two those turbines are going to get repurposed. #Icarus

She has two sisters, too. (One by birth, one by us adopting the two.) They're all such sweet girls, but the first one, Piper, lives any attention she gets to the point that she'll purr if one of her people approaches her.

A "torbie" (tortoiseshell-tabby) cat looking mildly annoyed about being bothered when she's curled up in bed.

The cat I was referring to:

I am happy to finally be electrifying my place. Less materials wasted on fueling survival means more spent to making useful things. #Icarus
