Oh Great, now the camera trap has become a chew toy https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/995474607812567040/video/1
having one of those times where sure, I make drawings and even sometimes paint, which is cool I guess, and nearly everyone else seems much more technically proficient/much more liked and likable/more capable of promoting themselves, figuring out what potential customers want, and grinding out work for customers without wanting to hide from responsibility in a coffeeshop somewhere.
I swear there's a way to do capitalism as "useful economic strategy which augments government programs and community to circulate wealth and offer more options" rather than as "unquestionable religious dogma which builds arbitrary monopolies while destroying lives and the future of most species on earth."

@thefishcrow hey I know you were skeeved about the fucking fundies trying to screw with this, but apparently Ireland repealed their 8th Amendment, so we have good news I think?

also, any president WHO THEORETICALLY IS A PARENT and yet just frankly BLURTS IT OUT that he doesn't consider kids innocent when they're in the country illegally? I'm sorry but that's not a president, that's not a parent, that's not even someone who hates kids, that's a worthless fuck who should not be in charge of a broom closet. I'd almost feel sorry for his kids coming from something like that, but they're colostomy bags.
MORE uspol hate
AGAIN imo the biggest problems with race in America are that we love thinking the problem is just an asswipe dropping n-bombs, but for every one of him there's 50 people who think a coal terminal in Oakland is an awesome idea, and 500 people CHOOSING THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB but never noticing the chance of that being a Black dude is much slimmer.
and when the asswipe with the n-bombs is a warrior saint - I mean a policeman - or an ENTREPRENEUR suddenly it's cool.
uspol, HATE!
these are the same assholes who greeted my great grandparents with sweatshops and ghettos, who collaborated with fucking Nazis and got them safety when my Grampa was walking his beat, who fought for segregation and terrible minimum wages when my Dad was a young idealist, who turned our country to shit when I was a kid in Georgia.
They haven't gotten better since. Idk what the world will look like if I last into my 90s, but they'll be the same classist, racist, misogynist theocrats.
story time; fencing
I was thinking about it today, because I was thinking of how fencing as a sport has some of the anonymous comfort a friend's mentioned about fursuiting.
It's much harder to judge someone based on their face when suited up. That's appealing now, but it must've been huge at some level to a scrawny, pasty teen with bad pimples convinced they were the ugliest thing in the world. I lucked into the best possible sport for me at that time.
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.
