is there any reason you've jumped about from position to position?

yes, it's because I'm a completely untrustworthy moron singlehandedly trying to bring all my employers to bankruptcy, you're awfully clever to have figured it out from my resume.

oh no listening to The Clash has become listening to the best Exploited song and it's about to become the best Anti Nowhere League song

THE CORN IS AS HIGH AS AN ELEPHANT'S EYE
AND I THINK THAT IT MIGHT REACH RIGHT UP TO THE SKY
(and also, I'm nowhere near your job in OK, if you've even really got one, nice offshore recruiter person)

apparently a Schostakovich waltz and The Clash sort of morning

today, stuff which was waaay better in concept before I discovered how difficult it is to communicate.

I’m reminded of how much I loathe political cartoonists even more than I detest journalists. Imagine being able to draw like that, and what you use it for is gross one sided takes on difficult shit if you’re not even more active in causing harm. Nearly all furry fetish porn is honorable and worthy by comparison.

I know there are some folks here at the intersection of trans and Jewish spaces, so I wanted to mention an upcoming thing I'm helping to host.

My husband and I are planning a small service in Seattle for the transgender day of remembrance, Nov 20. We're likely going to hold the service the evening of Nov 19, at the start of the Jewish day.

Details are still being finalized, but the plan is to say a few appropriate prayers, read the names of the dead, and say the mourner's kaddish. We'll also be sharing food afterward, because it feels weird to gather without doing that.

You do not need to be transgender or Jewish to attend, but this is explicitly a Jewish ceremony. There will be Hebrew (and transliteration) though we're not expecting everyone to read it. This is a queer space, so we use inclusive translations.

If you're interested in attending, please send a DM; it's likely to be at someone's home, so I won't share details publicly. If there's interest we might be able to arrange a livestream as well.

my love of fantasy and TTRPGs mean I'm split about what's the best part of Conan the Barbarian;

* Conan's father telling him about the riddle of steel, full of world building and cultural richness OR

* the Atlantean Sword scene, full of mystery and wonder OR

* when the PCs successfully stealth in to capture the princess and then completely abandon their plan so they can set shit on fire and hurl big cauldrons of stew down the stairs etc

"can Democrats undo college campus branding and capture the working class" seriously, some of us have our lives on the line every time there are Republicans in office and it doesn't actually improve that much under Democrats, this is not the Bulldogs vs Tech game, so kindly fuck off to McMurdo Sound or somewhere.

okay, I am now done with job hunt stuff for the time being and can eat something and step myself back from the desire to cut my wrists that job hunting can (and in this case did) inspire. The sun is shining and in a bit I can draw, like what I actually WANT to do with my life.

another "what about this job appeals to you?" question answered with "This would be an opportunity to build on my current skillset" rather than "I do not want to live then die under an I-5 onramp."

"Hear that, Mister Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson."

"My name is... SHAKE ZULA! THA MIC RULA, THA OLD SKOOLA! YOU WANT A TRIP I'LL BRING IT TO YA!"

dude DUDE a fencing school locally is hiring a front desk person

I don't actively want many jobs I come across, mostly I need to pay bills and rent. I want this job more than I want to do accounting if this gives you any idea.

of course listening to "Mona Lisa Overdrive" leads to the thematically similar "Alech Taadi," "Black Betty" and "Jesus Built My Hotrod."

*Morpheus voice*

Look around you, what do you see? Hyper herm skunktaurs. Muscle doberwomen. Fat samoyed furs wearing only very smelly socks. The very people we are trying to save. But most of these people do not want to be unplugged from the Matrix. Neo, were you paying attention or were you looking at that hyena in the prominently bulged red skirt?

oh geez Trent, put a fucking sock in it

your midichlorian count has to be as high as Master Yoda's

wait, this is about the same point where I got completely sick of "Pretty Hate Machine" and went off to listen to something else the last time, isn't it?

switching to Lords of Acid, that's very 90s too.

I know it's my standard joke but for DECADES now I keep forgetting how the first songs on this album are about anger, abuse and chronic psych problems, and then BOOM abruptly into whining like Anakin about getting laid

how many years will you take, you've TAKEN EVERYTHING.
my head is filled with disease, my skin is begging you,
I'm on my hands and knees, I want so much to believe.
