@electrickeet thanks! I FIGURED you or Bax would have a canonical answer to that. Also the thought of “to me, my Little Ponies!” while doing the telepathy blob thing, comes to mind.
#drawing last night, trying to pull on Johan Egerkrans and Bill Berry (visual artist not drummer) for inspiration.
There’s the food trucks parked in Reseda
There’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
Now I’m a bad boy cause I won’t eat her cooking
Cause of dairy and it gives me the farts
Yes I’m free, free fallin’!
mh, journaling
so I want to avoid making my pessimism a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is very easy while feeling trapped, stuck and treading water; coming from a background of catastrophising; influenced by how all it takes is some malicious intent to make everything harmful feel actively malicious (remember, some of the governments' actions are intentionally malicious); and sabotaged by ADHD/CPTSD inability to think of a future.
In other words I'm living through the sort of very frequent low level negatives which are what kept me in a cycle of self-hate and despair for decades, so even though I know my perception slants a lot more negative than actual (and potentially negative!) reality, this is VERY seductive for me - very hard not to buy into, totally.
@CoyoteTraveller the unfortunate thing lately is; my job is isolating and requires me to stay in the same place for quite some time. This means I'm a lot more likely to wind up on social media. When we weren't living in an unprecedented political disaster this led to a lot less upset, and I feel like I need to walk my involvement back.
Also, of course, we've moved from the "I want to skip work so I can be inside" to "I want to skip work so I can be outside" seasons.
“ the New Age of customer service is AI first”
No, it isn’t. I’ve worked with AI just enough to know that invariably it’ll fuck up, and some actual person who is not getting paid enough will now be stuck dealing with a customer, who is now more frustrated because the first layer of stuff they went through didn’t work as advertised.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
