uspol, abusers 

I'm STILL PISSED ABOUT IT.

You know the quote about first they came for the Jews/trade unionists/etc? This goes beyond oh hey, those migrant families are the most vulnerable and most endangered, guess who's next.

This whole thing is a solid declaration that no matter what your ethnicity, orientation or income, they WILL fuck with your emotions and at least try to redefine your perception of events. NOWHERE is safe around a narcissist.

Well today’s attempt to push through PTSD workbook was distracted and characterized by rising feelings of panic. I’m calling it a day, y’know?

it took about an hour and losing my temper enough to tell my aging version of Photoshop FUCK YOU (Photoshop doesn't work on voice commands and wouldn't get that one anyway) to re-figure out this one little dumb Photoshop trick I used to know.

ugh, I need a nap or coffee or both.

3. And I'm REALLY uncomfy with these particular guys doing the function. There's gotta be some accountability for what's already happened.

And if it's okay for me to be paranoid and go straight into military history, I come away feeling like ICE has been built up as an SS because 45 and his know they can't depend on the Heer if they're challenged.

Even if that function's legit, the government agency which handles it should have as much accountability and budget review as let's say the FBI. Even if there needs to be an agency it needs to operate differently. Just because you aren't pulling toddlers away from their parents and slamming them behind chain link partitions does NOT mean you're awesome no matter what we're supposed to relievedly think at this point.

1. Okay, so an abuser created a crisis situation, lied to gaslight us, and then backed off to look magnanimous. This is OBVIOUSLY MANIPULATIVE, nobody should fall for this and of course the media will play along.

2. Do we really need someone doing a border police function? I know most Mastodonians would scream FUCK NO at this point. The milder version of FUCK NO is, I feel really uncomfortable with how any potential need gets conflated with racism and grabbing free labor.

hey kids lets put on the Jurassic Park soundtrack and feel weepy!

Okay, I roughed out three pages of far more elaborate pencils, revised my resume, did a little political activity, sent a finished sketch to a customer and watched some painting videos. Gonna make breakfast then see where I'm headed next.

wanna know the weirdest personal thing?

Out of all the changes in slang over the years, the one I don't use is "lol." Everything else deffo makes sense as a shorthand, and I will totes use it, ty!

I've seen older people from backgrounds far stricter about language use "lol;" I'm unsure exactly why the idea of using it bugs me that much.

world politics, petition in case it could help 

oh thank God, they've postponed raizing Susya and Khan al-Ahmar. There's a chance of getting them to step off completely.

uspol, angry despite good news 

oh geez, it's what I thought it was. He grants what looks like a concession and tries to come away looking like a saint, AFTER it's been a distraction and so that he can keep stringing us along. And there's no cost to any of them.

Narcissist, abuser.

“The Grail has been hidden for almost 2000 years, and in all that time the Brotherhood of the Maidenform Bra has sworn to do anything, to ruin any shirt, to protect it.” *pulls open shirt*

May he who illuminated this work, illuminate me.

... again, I like how it sounds incredibly religious, but it’s about looking back through history to see how a past writer thought; it’s a humanist statement at least in part.

whoa, I slept for a little over 8 hours, when's that ever happen?

Gotta say that this whole terrible period of time makes me want to be more hopeful and warmly encouraging out of sheer cussedness, because if there's anything that makes despair somewhat less convincing and a LOT less appealing it's suspiciously convenient for rich asswipes with power.

G'night Mastodon. You're damn valid and I suspect you've got a lot of potential awesomeness ahead of you. Sleep well when you get there.

translated, violent song lyrics 

apparently the evening has now degraded into listening to patriotic music. I'll probably swap to something else right soon, as I'm not a particularly patriotic person.

"We'll make a deep grave for the fascists in Moscow's misty suburbs!"

okay, pausing in art videos 'cause The Chain is on the PA at Starbucks.

that's a Czech T38 WHY DO I EVEN KNOW THIS

why am I watching old History Channel stuff about the M4?

and of course the Greek page of the Spongebob Wiki reveals that nearly everything in the series has a cooler name. Damnit, Greek people, stop having a language that would be awesome to learn and comes with centuries worth of fascinating history and culture.
