Mastodon users diss Bluesky users more than Bluesky users diss Mastodon, and I can’t speak for Threads, but Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter users all have a low opinion of Twitter. Which I mean makes sense; neither Masto nor Bluesky has one of the most loathsome dudes on earth presiding over making it something you actively hate.
I see it’s Cold Call o’clock in Offshore Recruiter Land.
In case you were wondering no, I can’t afford to work for under $20, no I can’t commute to Tacoma on a daily basis, no I am not available at 0600 to field calls and no, I’m not a network administrator, or whatever completely extraneous thing you’ve got going. Call me when you REALLY have jobs.
I think almost the most hilarious thing about Lovecraft is how he became famous by NOT becoming famous. He was only kinda sorta a name as a pulp author, so when people were casting around for stuff to reprint for GIs a few years after his death, HPL's stuff was cheap, and after the war there was lots of it around. Suddenly a much broader audience was reading Lovecraft's work and going "hey actually this is pretty good."
gah! I didn't explain the little derro wizard dude. My man's keeping some sort of deific/fiendish fetus in a covered cage, and uncovers it to flash opponents with blazingly intense light.
When I give money to someone’s emergency, something else is also vital and at some point I have to roll with “saying no lets me contribute to further emergencies in the future.” Now I am trying to think the mindset of wanting to help moves us closer to a (unattainable) Tikkun Olam, even when I see myself as merely trying to keep things from getting worse. And of course; if I throw $25 at something it’s big, throwing $100 is beyond possible, but that’s nothing for the folks causing the problems.
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.
