We’re down a warehouse guy today which means I busted ass receiving Costco stuff. Getting the self hating type of FOMO in which other people get to have houses, drawing for a much nicer income, cons, hot fetishy sex, etc while I’m stuck with sore ankles, crummy jobs, and self realization because I’m shit. This is pretty illusory, but it’s still uncomfortable, if that makes sense?
#drawings today, tightened up a khopesh-wielding paladin fighting a scarab-beetle-breathin' mummy from yesterday, and drew a page of science fiction people (a fox, a lower tech soldier and a tech-zombie!).
uspol adjacent, propaganda
browsing the magazine section, I notice there's a lot of those history special things with COMMUNISM THE BRUTAL ORIGINS OF THESE EXTREMIST POLITICS or THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION A BLOODY OVERTHROW and some REAGAN A CLASSIC PRESIDENT whatever. A wee touch heavy handed d'ye think?
(Barnes & Noble used to stock a lot of wargames magazines, but I guess they didn't sell - they just had WD this time.)
uspol, theocracy/fundies/GOP
Thing is I’m from literally dozens of generations of people whose lives could be uprooted or threatened at any time because they had exactly no power, while they were considered evil and expendable. *Plus* I lived through Reagan in the south where nobody suggested things could ever get better or the enemy could ever lose. You’d think I’d be basically built to be resilient to this, and naw, it fucks with me big time.
wake up sheeple gender separated bathrooms are just a plot by Big Urinal to avoid having to put in more stalls #shitpost
uspol related, guns etc
Seriously what's with this country and our gun fixation? Like... I get it, hunting is fun, food and a sense of self closer to the natural world, spending an afternoon at the range and finding out how different stuff handles is fun. I can't wrap my brain around all the macho need assault rifles and concealed carry permits for "self protection" stuff and honestly it comes across as "we're gonna have ourselves a lynchin'" updated to the new millenium.
I used to consider myself an anarchist because I felt government was invariably going to fail people and smaller communities would help instead. So you'd think I would be more accepting of government which intentionally fails everyone but the rich, the cronies and the fundies. But naw, sadly it still pisses me the fuck off.
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.
