nightmares, weird sleep, job hunt
I was a doofus and remembered time zones exactly the wrong way, so my teams interview was at 0700 rather than 1100. Either I really did well or I botched this beyond all possible imagining, so I'm now *out* of interview outfit and cooking breakfast.
I woke up a fair amount early, too, thanks to this dream about The Beatles possibly committing a murder or at least joking about having done so; John playing it off as a joke about having secreted bits of his victim about the house during Christmas (I'm not sure why I apparently associate The Beatles with Christmas), Paul gleefully talking about eating the victim. Ringo just looked morose. No matter what actually happened it obviously wasn't his idea.
uspol - trans health care rights
Here's my script for calling my house representative:
Hi, I'm NAME, and my zipcode is ZIPCODE. I live in SENATOR NAME's district.
I'm calling to encourage Senator NAME to fight the anti-trans amendments to H.R. 4368 -- the FDA 2023 appropriations bill.
I am horrified by the attack on trans rights by senators who have introduced anti-trans amendments to this law.
Every day, I see politicans debate whether trans people have the right to receive health care, to be in public spaces, and to exist.
All trans people, including trans kids, should have the right to receive gender-affirming treatment. Their lives depend on it.
I urge Senator NAME to fight the anti-trans amendments to H.R. 4368, and all future house bills.
#drawings today, playing with drawing anthro deer and anthro spotted hyenas, figured an off day was a good time to do something I don’t think I do well anyway, maybe I’d find out something? Nudity but basically work safe (obvious bits covered, but ass).
@electrickeet this is amazing

re: making fun of James Horner soundtracks again?
oh yeah full power has been restored to the warp engines so Vasquez and the rest of the Marines can escape
uh, why are we suddenly in "Til Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche"?
oh no it's a punk/heavy cover of "Toxic," literally one of the catchiest songs ever
fine I'll play it again
and again
and again

I really need to rewatch Raiders and try to analyze the hell out of it. Getting pulled into watching clips I'm struck by little things - camera or characters constantly moving, very intentional inclusion of music - which make informational, "talky" scenes (map room, Indy meets Army Intelligence, Indy talks to Sallah about the German dig) feel exciting and active.
#drawing today, adventurers sneak up on some sort of theropod in a river. Eye contact, implied harm towards giant reptile. More of trying for simpler/cartoonier eyes with distance.

It feels sort of unfair that having largely gotten past crushing self hate, it turns out the self hate was a coping mechanism which included a fair amount of distraction, and consequently everything seems utterly bleak and the walls are closing in, in part because the self-hate limited my ability to accumulate money, etc etc etc.

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.
