"expose young people to vintage" uh, you do know the time between Superunknown and when this Noir style cover came out, is about the time between film noir as a style and uh, prog rock and punk getting established in the 70s, "Black Hole Sun" IS vintage stuff.

apparently tonight starts with my folks canceling tomorrow 'cause they have a cold or something and continues with playing every variant of Black Hole Sun I can find.

“Welcome traveler to BROCA’S AREA, home of the Brain Flayers, ruled by our Brain Trust! Here you can encounter Brain Fungi! Levitating Beakbrains! Or kick back and relax with a delicious oatmilk synaptic latte!”
“What if INT is my dump stat?”
“SILENCE MORTAL. As I was saying…”

Instant hilarity by adding “OHHHHH are ye ready kids? Ohhhhhh…” before any song. Eg;

OHHHHH are ye ready kids? Ohhhhhh
You let me violate you SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
You let me desecrate you SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
You let me violate you SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
You let me complicate you SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

look I'll believe the guy will finally face accountability for the first time in his life, when they actually sentence him for something. And even then it won't be for killing people off with criminal neglience as with Covid or active support as with the BLM protests, so anything he might get will be light. And even then that still leaves his SCOTUS appointees, and the nice governors in Florida and Texas who are scrambling to hurt people in an effort to be as appealing to a now-radicalized party. I know this is something at least, but I have more hope that Seattle might implement rent control.

oh, there's a THEM, now. #MovieQuote

Italian Wedding Soup! I am openin' this can as a favor for you, but there may come a time when I ask you to return this favor.

my favorite jidaigeki happens to be really "coyote"

and what's ironic is that once remade as a western, it *wasn't* as "coyote."

Oooh, I could work as a business administrator in Aberdeen. We ask that you please stand for Aberdeen's national anthem, but feeling incredibly depressed is optional.

not to be rude job recommendations, but between hairdresser and research scientist, I have a way better chance of doing research competently, and *neither* is stuff I'm exactly fit for at this point.

Happy Friday and welcome to Jon’s CPTSD Triggers, the show that exposes you to all sorts of fun shit and all you fucking CAN do is clench your teeth hard enough to get a headache and try to tell yourself this is a different fucking situation.

I am the Lorax! I speak for the trees!

Which are putting out pollen. It'll sure make you wheeze.

So despite getting my 05/27 payment, T-Mobile didn't record me as having given them money and they cut my phone, IN THE MIDDLE OF A PHONE SCREEN. I immediately paid them AGAIN, then called back and completed my phone screen. I kinda wanted this job and this probably screwed me, I did not want to hemorrhage an additional [monthly charge], on top of this not being what I wanted to do with my morning; I am now fucking depressed, and I'm going to get some sort of pastry product before doing anything else. Fuck.

I now feel like the big trick with gender is that everyone gets told they have to pass, it's actually a lot less, and very few people do.

We have entire industries devoted to selling fragrances, vehicles, grills, guns, alcohol, hygiene products, shavers, etc so CIS people can "pass" enough. These things were not pitched for trans folks! If I'm not *too* unusual everyone out there worries if they're doing it right, including about gender.

Which suggests like everything else ("doing it right" is very much on my mind lately because I'm about to have a birthday and I am OLD, I'm at the point where I could easily fuck myself over but good about having done my entire life wrong), the way both cis and trans people approach gender is;

* they worry about fucking it up and being socially censured as a result
* they arrive at some quiet confidence that even though how they're doing it isn't necessarily the textbook example, it works for them; this is familiar to me from art
* they're just naturally egomaniacs, have sailed in on a shrimp sandwich or something like that, and consequently have always been sure they're doing it right

bleah, being a bad night as far as sleep. Maybe Fridays are when cortisol release equals shit sleep for me these days. Would be easier to work with, without capitalism as we know and love it.

Here’s the slightly revised warforged paladin, plus two #drawings from today; copies of photos from the Euro Militaire book on WWII, I’m interested here in silhouette, the bulk of clothes and equipment, and how detail vanishes as size of drawings decrease.

COME ON!
YES I KNOW MY ENEMIES
THEY'RE THE TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT ME!
COMPROMISE
CONFORMITY
ASSIMILATION
SUBMISSION
IGNORANCE
HYPOCRISY
BRUTALITY
THE ELITE!

YOU CRAM YOUR CULTURE DOWN MY THROAT
SAY I'M INFERIOR WHEN I FIND THAT I CHOKE
YOU FILL MY MIND WITH A FALSE SENSE OF HISTORY
AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY I HAVE NO IDENTITY?

I'm going to hang up the phone and then I'm going to show you what you don't want these people to see. A world without YOU. A world without boundaries or borders, without rules and restrictions. Where we go from there is up to you.

Although ya try to discredit
you'll still never edit
the needle I'll thread it
radically poetic
standing with the fury that they had in 66
and like e double I'm mad still knee deep in the system's shit
Hoover! he was a body remover
I'll give you a dose
but it can never come close
to the rage built up inside of me
fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy!

not only does the track "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" get me to work my hips and shoulders like I'm the femmiest Gay who ever got flogged next to the garlic fries at Folsom, but I actually assumed for the longest time that the narrator/singer was SUPPOSED to be a very Gay man. (Me'Shell is not a very Gay man.)
