Hypnosis
Thoughts of being wrapped up in the coils of a big fluffy noodle dragon as it uses hypnosis on me to make me temporarily forget everything except the dragon, how soft and warm and welcoming it is. Nothing else matters except for how comfortable I am, so relaxed I could even fall asleep. The world can wait, my troubles can wait, all that matters is the dragon's warm embrace.
Fuck do I need something like that.

Capitalism is bullshit, link to birdsite
Went off on a tangent last night/this morning thanks to this tweet popping up on my twitter timeline: https://twitter.com/DanPriceSeattle/status/1340502957754900487. How we may be earning more money than our parents, but we're also paying WAY more than they did at our age, using 1970 and 2020 as baseline years for price comparisons (given most boomers would be in their 20's-30's in the 70's, and most millenials are in their 20's-30's today.) Federal minimum wage went up 453% in 50 years, sure, but that's pennies compared to how much housing and education went up. Median prices on housing (in America at least) went up nearly a whopping 1,400% in price, rent is up a whopping 1,500%, and education? A STAGGERING 3,000% in average cost of a 4 year degree. Boomers can fuck right off with their bullshit "work harder" advice. The blatant lie that was trickle-down economics can fuck right off.
Gender shitpost
If I HAVE to be a binary gender then I demand that my gender have at LEAST 4 bits to it! None of this single bit 1 or 0 bullshit. My gender cannot be properly represented as anything LESS than 1000! Of course, to properly represent my gender requires a full 8 bits, and ALL of them are fuzzy (can be either 1 or 0 at any given point) :D
Christmas, family, pandemic mention
I had my dad's Christmas present mailed to my parents' place since I didn't think it would arrive at mine in time for my sister to pick up and take to them (I can't go due to the pandemic and my mom being high risk.) They got it a lot sooner than I expected, so my mom had my dad wrap his own gift, still in the mailing packaging, without him knowing it was from me to him. I thought that was hilarious :D
Thoughts of a slinky dragon that likes to wrap itself around you whenever it can, especially during the colder seasons. The dragon says it's because you're a good source of heat for its poor cold blooded body, but you know it's just an excuse to snuggle. The dragon isn't cold blooded, it just REALLY likes you but doesn't want to admit it. You don't mind though; even if the dragon won't say it, the way it constantly nuzzles into you every chance it gets says all that needs to be said
Oops, apparently when I went grocery shopping Sunday I forgot to put the distilled water in the car, and left it in the cart. Oh well, filtered water is almost as good for my CPAP machine. I can use tap water if I absolutely need to, but I'd have to give the reservoir a vinegar soak this weekend if I did.
Remember when I said that it's good when artists watermark their work? Well, when they don't, or when some art thief has managed to crop or edit it out, let me just say that TinEye (https://tineye.com) is amazing. Sometimes it takes a little further digging, but my success rate for finding original sources when starting there is probably around 90%.

Welp, as I thought, 3 days of work has sent me into another burnout spiral. Thank fuck I did have the 6 days off though, or this would have been a lot worse, considering just how busy we were this week. Either way I'm finding myself losing track of significant amounts of time, and that's probably not good. So, time to get out of the house for a bit and hope that helps
Oops, did my job a little too well apparently; dispatch was planning a double run for the freight I was to load, and I managed to load 95% of it into one trailer anyway. No point in doing a second run for freight that would barely fill a quarter of a trailer! (had I known that was the plan I would have probably saved half the freight I did load for a second trailer. But all I was told was load what I want so long as two specific shipments made it in at the end!)
