WELL.

turns out the freshly trans Wounded Daughter likes leaning on the Nun for safety... even when her shirt is off because it needed to be dried.

also, our Amazon? May have..... made a bad Escape Notice roll, and discovered something about herself in a room full of statues.

Oh and Bliss, my Nun, has been trying to keep a map of this place. As best she can. She knows nothing about cartography but bless her heart she's trying. (It's a fun art project to do while in session)

yay! today i finished modeling and animating the first monster that confronts you.
it moves kind of randomly and it has this beautiful static shader so it looks like it crawled out of a broken TV. i'm nicknaming it STATICMAN.
it mocks your desire to be free & you have to argue with it so it lets you go on...

the point of putting instances on fediblock for having rules against fundraising

is to shun them from the wider fediverse community for having those rules, in the hopes that they will maybe change them

because policies like that harm marginalized people every single day. banning people for "begposting" is taking away their livelihood

and it's also to protect people from their users needlessly reporting those posts on other instances and getting all judgy and harassing them

Pessimism, nihilism, and despair do no one any good. I choose to live in hope, because it's easier for me than giving into despair. Believe me, I've come very close to giving up on life. I've spent years in the Bad Place. I could have stayed there and stayed miserable, and blamed my misery on others, or I could take responsibility for my own happiness, because, quite frankly, I'm the only one who can take that responsibility for myself.

I had to make some hard choices, I had to move on from people who seemed hell-bent on dragging me down again and again and again. As I've gotten older, my tolerance for selfish, self-absorbed, my-misery-must-be-everyone-else's-problem type people, has waned to nothing.

It costs nothing to be kind. It costs nothing to stop for a moment before lashing out. It costs nothing to try to be understanding of others.

The need to vent about directly experiencing injustice, and about the state of the world, I get that. If it is not followed by plans of action to change your situation and change the world, then it is self-pity. Needless despair and needless cruelty and feeding other people's despair makes you part of the problem.

people who have kids dont make good employees. people with mental illness dont make good employees. people who sleep dont make good employees. people who eat? terrible employees. people in love have loyalty problems and make bad employees. people who have hobbies and interests make bad employees.

fuck, human beings make terrible employees. maybe we should abolish ownership and work as we know it.

nevrean!! art by me :>
