Without invoices to run, furnace repair or oil delivery to schedule, the associated phone calls, or the freedom to simply pull out a sketchpad and draw, but with a small dog barking constantly and likelihood of getting canned, my brain wanders to things like “why are you so fucking stupid?” “You’re not a REAL minority/REALLY disabled” or “you’re too ugly to be a girl/you’re too fucking stupid to be trans” and similar thoughts which, now that I’m no longer 1000% bought in, are real uncomfortable.
Sanders to chair healthcare subcommittee, lobbyists alarmed
Senator Bernie Sanders will head the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee, causing considerable concern among health lobbyists whose job is to turn aside criticism of Pharma's extreme pricing and profits https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/03/health-care-lobbyists-bernie-sanders-00075192
Quick! Snap into a Slim Jim! I mean shift to Manabozho… I mean Crinos! SHIFT TO CRINOS! #tftuesday #pants?
The small business where I work was recently acquired by a different local business, and while we retain some of our functions the home heating oil/furnace repair stuff I‘d been scheduling and billing has been farmed out to them. This was decided on Sunday, so things are still shaken up, I’m unsure if my job’s going away (which would have some benefits) and obviously it’s a real contrast to the holiday weekend, so… this particular Tuesday is very Monday.

#drawings today, trying for more action and more figures. Heer regulars somewhere in the USSR around 1943; two wolves pursue a deer through aspens.
@anthracite will surely appreciate that mastering the powers of the universe and ascending to godhead is represented by having a huge, polished metal hat, as Jack would have surely told us.
This is totally Frank Langella's movie. How many people get cast as the flamingly Gay lich-lord from a goofy cartoon only now it's a Star Wars ripoff with Billy Barty as the lovable sidekick in 80s America AND THEN turn in a legitimately solid villain performance?
oh gah now Skeletor's minions (you'll be happy to learn this doesn't include Stinkor, or for that matter anyone else you'd recognize from the cartoon) are going to crash the senior dance at Ferris Bueller's Back to the Breakfast Club
grody, gag me with the latest Cars album

The Tories are thinking about anti strike legislation, because of course they are, and despite the dual citizenship my US phone number disqualifies me for signing this petition protesting.
Uspol, De history, rant
and career soldiers like von Kluge, who were just trying to build a career and ride it out and, tbh those more banal faces of evil are a lot more interesting than someone just bulldozing their murderous opinions through.

Living through Trump and after really REALLY makes me cranky about books about Hitler. Like okay sure charismatic asshole drags everyone else with him, but that didn’t happen in a vacuum; the Germans had history that set Hitler up the same way this comes out of Reagan as backlash, and the same way we have nauseating little shits like MTG or DeSantis, the Germans had folks like Milch or Speer who knew damn well what they were doing was terrible but it was convenient;
WFH gets me outside when I can and I suspect cons or parties are the opposite, enough time social I need alone time - which work doesn’t provide because office work is a bad niche of neither truly social nor truly alone, enough that I’ll need *either* to recharge.
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.
