@Ironraptor *throws a Tomato*
@scoliwings Legs can always be funny. So what tiols are you using (for drawing or practice)?
light nazi and racism discussion
@Ironraptor Seriously? >. < Yeah... I think I found one or two. Shocking but none of these people were strong friendships so it wasnt as debilitating. in other words, it was easy for me to unfollow or defriend those people because I only knew them online.
I swear... this entire year is bringing out the pus hidden in our respective societies. We need a flush... stat!
Freelancer griping Part 2
.....
* They have me filling in for CSR, atop a tight deadline for me migrating a db. ( didnt even tell me I was fillin in until Customer messages piled up unanswered)
* store is pullin 1.5k a day but I gotta be the one repeatedly asking about pay (with no reply 90% of the time)
Do the math. This leopardess would rather play in 3D (unpaid but Im learning as well as working on my portfolio again)
TW: Bullying
looking at Twitter and seeing people open up about being bullied in school. I consider myself very lucky in having the kinds of bullying experiences that I was able to move past.
Those experiences having a minimal mark on me, only giving me strength.... thats why I dont feel compelled to open up. there are a lot of things where I'm not going to open up about anything, because I feel that none of my experiences or feelings actually add to any of the current discussion.
@Sparf I have to balance this kind of thing too. sometimes I have to look at the bigger picture and it helps.
@edgedestroys Going to follow you here for now. Birbsite sucks for going after you on nothing
Re: the Patreon fiasco...
Half joke: Well, I have been looking for something new to do with my web skills.
In seriousness: I think we got alot of coders in fandom (s) that can come up with another idea for Patreon-type recurring $$ structure. The big thing is that it always comes down to the payment processor. Even outside if my adult work exp... the cc companies are the challenge.
People who use Patreon are looking for alternatives. Sadly, Libera Pay's lack of pay exclusive content is the big thing Patreon users need. https://mastodon.rocks/@Liberapay/98890540440886249
Gotta keep lookin'
tw: heteronormative "traditions"
I really dont wanna shit where I eat, but I cant stand the heteronormative stuff that comes up in my workplace.
See, they sell wedding and party favors.... Well, some of those things are themed toward "gender reveal" parties and things like " Its a boy/girl!" favors.
This is something I hope I live long enough to see die off. Gender reveal is the first opportunity to instill binary gender in your soon-to-be family. Dont do it.
Hmmmm.... if true, this opens up possibilities. https://vulpine.club/@rachel/99114012939692855
UnAmerican thoughts
@Yarideki Turbotax suggests one can pay federal and not file state. Somehow it doesnt apply for the other way 'round.
UnAmerican thoughts
@Yarideki Uesh. the problem is... I dint see how I can pay state taxes but leave federal unpaid. My Turbo Tax program tells me how much I owe to each but tbe UI suggests I can to pay both, or nothing.

You wont be funding education programs and roads. You will be funding your selfishness. You spoiled brats are actually lower class than the drunkest wino that hurls insults at 3am.
Be gone from my prescense. I can be selfish too. My money for taking care of my needs, funding what I want to fund (as in, helping people that are in this shithole too). You dont get one red cent.

Why should I pay my taxes?
I have felt against the idea since Trump was elected. He is funding the wall of hate on the Mexican border and I wanted no part of that. Than PR and US territories in the Atlantic got wrecked by Maria. No relief or help.
Than last night... they further sold us out and finally get thier victory against ACA. They will gut it from the inside. All for the hate hard on for a black man.
