Jesus don’t want me for a sunbeam,
Sunbeams are not made like me.

Capitalism basically relies on what’s best about humans - creativity, curiosity, community - in order to fuel what’s worst about humanity - greed, elitism and nepotism. If it’s to generate prosperity for more than a few, there needs to be a better balance than what we’ve got now, where there’s an assumption that consumers, raw material and employees are an infinite supply. And in that light honesty, hard work and responsibilities are just more good traits coopted as convenient propaganda.

WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME?
Hands in the air, assume the position!
WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME?
Ev’ryone make their best dead faces!

Next job, I should work for a Jewish or Queer nonprofit so me resenting a boss comfortably at home at the other side of the state dumping work on me sets off less really gross resentment. In an ideal world I‘d freelance so I’d only be pissed off at myself, but.

“May he who illuminated this work illuminate me” is still imho one of the best lines in the Indiana Jones movies. Since it’s not an actual prayer but instead an expressed desire that a very human voice from the past help in understanding their era - which is history and archaeology, really.

Again my hot take about Star Wars is that Rise of Skywalker is everything you love about Star Wars except for an actually meaningful structure. The movie equivalent of eating fantastic icing without an actual cake.

good morning! Guess who got vaguely three more hours of not particularly good sleep, woke up cold, and therefore has even less desire to be at their day job than usual?

Um. So hey, any particular miniatures you like these days?

maybe as a consolation prize for this ugh I should get nicer coffee and nicer pastry on the way in, later today.

oh no listening to ska is making me want to skip work tomorrow

as opposed to before I started playing ska, when I wanted to skip work tomorrow.

#drawings today while drinking coffee and listening to The Sword. A fighter on the run from a ferocious forest beast; and elsewhere, underground, a halfling rogue evades a deadly trap!

Checked Wikipedia to try figuring out a joke about “Khazad-Dum and Khazad-Dumber,” and sadly I have nothing funny to say about Middle Earth, but have learned there was a “Dumb and Dumber” animated series in the 90s.

the stuffed peppers are good, but took over an hour to make and an entire thing of vegetable broth to surround and cover them as per the recipe, so I think I'm not going to do them again except for special occasions.

tonight, I tried to deal with the Sunday Feelings (and clean the fridge out some) by cooking three recipes from the Ottolenghi cookbook; eggplant with fried onion and lemon (not pictured) stuffed peppers (beef, I couldn't easily find ground lamb), panfried okra (supposed to use preserved lemon, but I zested the lemon for the eggplant)

Milspec standard Sunday evening feelings about my day job, future making art, and social life.

What if LotR/ Beavis and Butthead crossover where Gollum’s both of the latter?

“Elveses came, yes precious! Nasssty elveses with big thingies, huh huh huh.”
“Ssss, ssss, settle down buttmunch, good Sméagol is watching Henry Rollins’ ‘Liar.’”

#subtweet “Master will let Sméagol get a venti caramel with whip and extra fissssh, yes precious! But stupid fat hobbit always tries to get us only just white coffees, he’s tricksy, gollum!”

#drawings so far today; one party of adventurers encounters a dragon while deep below the earth, another group of adventurers are about to be ambushed by goblins!

Should I make;
1) A mustellid ‘sona
2) A dromaeosaur ‘sona
3) A dolphin ‘sona
4) Other please comment

"I vant you telling me about the hash bars."
"*I* should know from hash bars?"
"Hash is legal there nebbech?"
"It's legal an' 100% legal but they don't want that you walk into a shop, get coffee and maybe a danish and start puffing away. They want that you smoke in your home or certain designated places."
