Dry Up and Tumble On.
An NES tune I wrote a few years ago. I think it's the one piece of music I've written that means the most to me, but it's really hard to express why.
covid-19, mental health industry, ~
5 fucking years I'm asking therapists if they will do phone sessions bc disability and always get told no, we can't, insurance won't cover it, you need to get out of the house, yadayada yada.
NOW these fucks are asking ME to do phone sessions.
Guess is wasn't so impossible after all.
Y'all know I'm gonna hold this over their heads for fucking ever.
covid-adjacent, uspol, longish
after this is all over, be sure to remind people, as often as they'll allow you to get away with it, that:
telecoms did not need data caps, had plenty of capacity to donate to low-income folks, and were never in danger of going bankrupt because of the lack of data caps or the additional usage
folks who work on computers all day can do that wherever computers are; most tech offices are merely trophies to show off to other tech offices.
the government wasn't concerned with helping people, it was concerned with helping business. it was people who were helping people and often the government merely got in the way of that.
trillions of dollars was found to allocate as soon as they wanted to; every time anyone asks how anything will be funded it's merely to shut down the conversation.
keep a running list of your favorite facts and get them in front of as many folk as you can, as often as you can, and maybe, just maybe, we can get more folks on board for change
Happy Pi Day!
Irreverent guide to USB connectors.
USB-A: The original rectangular one that you always have to turn over twice to fit into the slot. There's one on nearly every USB cable that isn't USB-C.
USB-B: The kinda square one used for every cheap long-abandoned printer ever so there are always a bunch of them in the way whenever another type is desired.
Mini-B: The one with the highest ratio of "confused for Micro-B" to "useful for anything other than last-gen videogame controllers".
Micro-B: Where did all my Micro cables go? Everyone borrows them, nobody returns them!
USB-C: They finally got it right! And with any luck, the cable's the right type and won't fry what it's connected to. The future is bright!
#drawings today in an attempt to stay afloat. I’m fairly happy with my newfound willingness to fill the page largely with ink. Beautiful furry art and song lyrics!
