Bleah. Sometimes tenants show up here, this time they wanted their last month’s rent back, but I couldn’t find their file (placed separate from where I knew to look, but once found it cleared up how much they actually owed). The accountant is on vacation, I had no context and can’t speak Spanish to help out, and my boss didn’t know they’d been paying a discounted rate monthly since last June, so all *she* knew was they were asking money for a place they’d already left, and she lost it at them.

Mostly “Sir Winston loved Jews and Zionism” with the exception of a Haaretz article about how he knew about Auschwitz before official history claims and refused to bomb camp stuff despite it being feasible and repeated requests. This I don’t think proves antisemitism per se; this reads as one of Sir Winston’s decisions like Gallipoli or the Pelopponesian campaign where other people died for what he was certain for whatever anglocentric reason was a great idea.

The rhetoric in the UK about “well they should just fit in” reminded me of stuff I could swear Sir Winston Churchill said about Jewish immigrants, so I tried to find a quote, found a kinda ehh one about “well as long as they do business with non Jews and DON’T BECOME COMMUNISTS! they’re okay.” Plus a 1936 article ghost written by one of Moseley’s people, which Sir Winston backed off on ASAP.

this track is actually the best thing in that entire movie imho

#drawing today, halfling necromancer orders his zombies into battle against a barbed devil (evil vs evil equals drawing more monsters and I like the idea the necromancer might be a PC).

Fried chicken gizzards and yu choy!

in *any* discussion about minority rights, whoever's from the group we're currently talking about will probably come across as incredibly angry because;

* that point they'll be talking about very real threats to their survival and comfort

* they are probably not someone used to airing their complaints, let alone carefully; this stuff doesn't affect just eloquent, nuanced speakers, but *normal people*

* on the flip side, if you're not used to hearing it, by definition it's going to sound way angrier than what you're used to

Understandable but probably not helpful reactions include;

* asking them to tone it down (no matter what context, this is unlikely to convince anyone to be less angry)

* getting the hell away from the angry person since your subconscious is telling you that you might make a great target (the worst case scenario is actually they're a police plant trying to get you to break something)

* trying to troubleshoot, and interjecting with your personal experience

* related, if you are *any other marginalized group*, you will likely be pissed off that your compatriot is seriously aggrieved about what's being done to their group and does not acknowledge yours might have had some stuff. Leave it. There'll be another better time to address that one.

Got so much good stuff shopping today like barley tea, a batch of chicken gizzards, yu choy, and pierogies!

Reminded again of how much I hate gender essentialists. Even if one of these fucking brownshirts *could* conclusively prove there are only two genders, accurately reflected by genitalia, predilection for violent crime, muscle mass, and body fat, I’d still dismiss it as something preached by some of the worst folks in the world, in league with other worst folks in the world, as an excuse to make everything worse.

Meme; get to know my music taste, for every like I will post one song I love.

right now what I really would like to do instead of being here is getting baked and eating pelmeni with (vegan, safe for dairy allergy) sour cream, but oddly not at the same time.

that thing where listening to what's technically the love theme from various movies makes me profoundly sad because it actually makes me think about getting to travel.

currently eating tofu jigae in the hope this helps with the feeling of having fucked up *everything*

#drawings today - I might not finish this #wip, I wanted to do something big like what I might make as a DM screen (adventurers vs land dragon, rider and Sutekh warrior). And, a jade dragon!

Having now argued with TERFs, there’s no concern that trans people might be misguided and need help - they see trans folk purely as enemies to be annihilated. And their allies here are what, the Catholic Church? Or politicians like DeSantis? There’s no honest concern for kids or anyone else, it’s all a flimsy Kleenex excuse for continued authoritarian crackdown on anything left of Herman Goering.

Your beauty is beyond renown
upon your brow an iron crown
Is set above your eyes of glowing red,
and you could easily take my man
and fell him with your fearssome hands
and add him to the ranks of your undead
