#drawing finished last night #WerewolfWednesday

okay, now listening to Devo's cover of Head Like a Hole

I think it's easier for me to be pissed off while listening to the Green Tara Mantra than the Devo cover.

one day we shall read his obituary.

flaming out completely to If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)

and now, a brief but uncomfy reminder of why it's really a GOOD thing that I didn't get to run off to become a Rabbi after all.

and no, this isn't about how much I love cooking and eating pork.

Pauli Kidd, who's a ridiculously cool old skool TTRPG designer, posted a video response.

As part of that, she shared this link which I'm sure my fellow endangered Americans will find vital in becoming safe Aussies.

and the prequels, The Somewhat Sketchy Doctor Phibes and The Ethically Compromised Doctor Phibes.

TF description “soon you’ll have a more permanent reminder of your trip to Australia”

me “‘Strewth! Pass the Timtams,’ she cried. She could feel herself dropping ‘fucking’ into sentences casually, unable to stop, as her opinion of English people worsened by the second.”

https://youtu.be/FATrsvKTtV4 is just a song I really like so I figured it was worth sharing rn

today's cheerful thought is "small taqueria" has the same scansion as "Smooth Operator"

no need to ask it's a small taqueria
small taqueria

agua frescas, have some horchata, order more
quesabirria or maybe burritos al pastor

we have just folded space from Ix. Many machines on Ix, new machines, far better than the ones on Richesse.

possibly FA journals weren't a good choice of places to pick fights but frankly I am spoiling for an excuse to at the very least block Nazis.

and of course now I spot the obvious mistakes but ehhh, for a day partly spent profoundly unhappy and partly spent completely furious, I'm gonna count "drew something and can see therefore fix the mistake" as a net win

#drawing tonight in case it helps or w/e

Okay, I have tea and supermarket sushi as a dumb treat for myself, which is hopefully not too self indulgent during a crisis

OK, I signed myself up for monthly donation to Earthjustice, and wrote both my senators asking them to please protect birthright citizenship.

I finally figured out more about my feelings with what's about to happen.

Theoretically as an anarchist I believe in communities on a small scale but don't expect people necessarily do the right thing on a big, even statewide scale - let alone nationwide.

So why is it still getting to me that these ASSHOLES voted for what they KNOW is going to be a bigoted anti-environment fundie kleptocracy, that they basically signed a death warrant for a whole lot of people and, because we don't know what the next disaster will be which the incoming Administration will mishandle, we don't know who's going to die in this thing; the straightest cis-male WASP is only slightly safer than a wheelchair bound trans Black woman. I don't think I am very likely to survive the next 4 years, but I think Trump will, I think Musk will, I think all these nauseating little pissants will.

And it FINALLY OCCURS TO ME, that's GRIEF. Cycling "I can't believe this horrifying event happened with more to come," "fuck these shit deciding that we can now die instead of actually getting prosperity," "there's gotta be a way to get through this shitty situation," "This saps my will to live" are ALL STAGES OF GRIEF.

I mean, it doesn't help that much but at least now my reaction's understandable to me.

#colored #drawing this evening is more #40K #fanart

then someone said "Rivendell wouldn't just have plumbing they'd have bidets" and I'm now imagining the hobbit reaction to Elf Toilet Surprise

Sam would probably immediately recite/compose a poem but would be stymied by trying to come up with a rhyme for "jacksy"
