Need to remember that the big reason to be positive on social media isn’t that I’m a nice person, quite the contrary. It’s that frankly the people I want to respond to in anger are incapable of understanding anything other than violence which sadly cannot be granted them, but if I say something positive to someone, those are people who CAN listen.

it's seeing the aftermath of wildlife hunting contests

it's the same thing as looking at photos of concentration camps and lynchings and the ghost dancers lying in the snow banks. same damn thing. Same damn thought process motivates it.

and I wish there were a way to HURT these creatures RIGHT BACK in any sort of meaningful way that would get them to FUCKING STOP, but there isn't. All you can do is watch the casualties mount up and be glad it's only sometimes it's an Asian or a Black or a Queer or a Jew or a protester instead of dozens of coyotes or whatever

high heeled lady spittin' at the nickerjacks
businessman with a needle an' a spoon
coyote chewin' on a cigarette
pack'a young boys goin' howlin' at the moon
hey darlin'! sleepin' on the blacktop
hey darlin'! runnin' through the trees, honey
hey darlin'! Leavin' for the next town,
less'n mah sense catches up with me

hangman, hangman
hold it a little while
I think I see my dear friends comin'
ridin' many miles
well did you bring me some silver,
did you bring me some gold,
what did you bring me my dear friends
to keep me from the gallus pole?
We didn't bring no silver!
We didn't bring no gold!
don't you know we're too damn poor to keep you from the gallus pole?

Set up another in person interview and an early morning Teams interview.

I came home after today's in person and haven't left home since, but took two naps and a couple of rinse off showers to feel less bad. Listening to Steeleye Span for comfort.

phone screen 2 never bothered calling (checked recents, was right by phone) but I left voice mail for them and responded to their email about how we'd missed each other and would I like to reschedule. I think, with a little wrapping up email, that makes me done for the day.

let me guess, that *is* an actual reference to the SS, and it's just cool with/actively promoted by YouTube.

Given that Zootopia was about “racism is bad,” I figure Zootopia II will be about “homophobia is bad actually”promptly followed by Disney contributing to horrifically homophobic politicians.

This feels more likely than “Judge Judy goes to Brit-Topia,” “Judge Cal takes over the ZPD and deputizes alligators,” or “Judge Judy faces the Dark ZPD.”

The player characters go on the epic journey to the land of the dead to jack their shit, because that’s where the *best* stuff is. The people who are annoyed with them are just like, you know, the gods, the families of the deceased, that sort of thing.

Man, I wish *I* were a pastel colored very Gay furry living in an apparently post scarcity accepting society. Major bummer.

courtesy of a clip of Harrison Ford, listening to the Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack again, and it's incredible how much I remember completely incidental sound effects or dialogue at the right cues. #Scheisse

Reading about Mycenaeans, I’m struck by how the rulers are “wanax,” but lower ranking landowners are called “basileis” (sic).

When I was a kid politics was really different! The right wanted kind of cruel and greedy things, but made it sound good by claiming to be about fiscal responsibility, honesty, and hard work, a little like how the ACW was about states’ rights. And the left who protested, sometimes died, and were ridiculed for wanting to spend money on ideas like “maybe women are human” or “maybe we shouldn’t kill people abroad for no real reason.” BUT NOW times have changed and…

… fuck it, it’s still the same.

Did pre dynastic Egyptians have mastaba schemes before they invented pyramid schemes?

This is new, is anyone else on Heilbird seeing this? Is something broken or is it part of management's push to convince users that they really want to use the paid/verified version of this service?

I live cement
I *HATE* this street
give dirt to me
I bite lament
this human form
where I was born
I now repent

apparently my musical tastes went rapidly to "I don't want to apply for jobs, I want to throw heavy objects"

HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW? IT FEELS FUCKIN' BLIND
WHAT HAVE YOU TAUGHT ME? NOTHING!
LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME, YOUR WORLD HAS TAUGHT ME NOTHING!
AS A WOMAN I WAS TAUGHT TO ALWAYS BE HUNGRY
YOUNG WOMEN ARE WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THIRST!
YEAH WE COULD EAT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!
WE MIGHT EVEN EAT YOUR HATE UP LIKE LOVE!
