So I just had someone try nearly every means available to get me to send a truck to pump less than our minimum for delivery, to his private yacht currently at the other end of the channel. The informed answer - which I have no power to decide for our company or driver no matter how much my inner 10 year old will do anything to make the angry adult go away - is we don’t provide that service. Can I just say this jumped heavily on some of my classism, with big lawn cleats?

Tbh I’d have a cetacean or frog ‘sona if I could think of something more interesting to do with it than just be really shiny and therefore hot.

Tbh I can’t help seeing the whole fentanyl thing as a manufactured crisis to grant more money to/lack of accountability for police. It’s especially bitter coming after the official sanctioned Covid denial. Maybe there’s an actual problem I’m too skeptical to see anymore.

alternative title to "Mona Lisa Overdrive"?

so I did religious stuff then cooked.

Woodear mushroom I got last week had unsurprisingly gone off, so no mushroom sauce, and I cooked all of this guy lon and am waiting on canned Eight Treasure Rice to use *those* up, so it's being a very Chinese new year, which is good really.

I don’t feel any government are The Good Guys and think any idealization merits scepticism. I would be real leery about idealizing Cuba simply because they’re not what we have here in the USA/UK/Canada/etc. They’re still a government with not much transparency or accountability as far as I can see.

weird how 40k’s tough knife carrying infantry from an inhospitable environment full of venomous stuff are Rambo basically

40k needs the slouch hat and shorts ANZAC aesthetic and they’d have “Rough Riders” too.

You turn the corner and there you face a dreaded UM ER HULK. Make a Charisma save to avoid eye contact otherwise the creature will engage you in a conversation which is painfully awkward for both parties.

It’s Rosh Hashanah and I wanted to share recent photos anyway so here you go, have a little more of this world. Two bridges on my walk yesterday; a mysterious basement in Bellingham; a big, pretty spider.

Where did you come from, where did you go
Where did you come from, aro-ace Joe?

*sigh* Flashbacks, anxiety *and* weird little longing fantasies. Bookmark to write some sort of weird quasi-fetishistic description for a MU* character - all patterns on smooth reflective skin. Heck or I could draw that. I'm an artist sometimes I think.

Okay, sincere question since I am unlikely to do it today; what are some things that make you feel now would be a good day to take time off from work?

this is definitely one of those days where if I felt I could I'd skip out for sleep/my own emotional well being.

okay why am I anxious?

While snacking on the remaining blueberry scone - so not really something that should have pulled a crown loose - the crown they recemented Monday came off. So… lucky that wasn’t yesterday or during my original plan to be social today (abandoned after yesterday sucked). BUT. Even slightly younger me would have been emotionally annihilated by this weekend, as it is everything’s hit like a 12 lb sledgehammer to the noggin.

Unfortunately I grew up in this place of “people we value get safety and comfort and the rest of y’all get fucked,” and neither the broader society’s ever-increasing price barriers, reactionary elitism, or being in a fandom deeply divided by class lines, helps me chill out.

I’m still fucking seething about some stuff yesterday.

So what’s going in here? Let me guess; big blocky apartments or condos which, despite their lack of charm, proximity to anything and possibly decent sound insulation, are priced for people better than me.

I really hate how I see the world through class resentment goggles…

something really interesting Puscifer does is have the vocals really carry the melody forwards, with a batch of layered, varying instrumentals, but some of the instrumentals will hit same or slightly transposed notes as the vocal melody and serves as a drone.
