It’s wild; I came out of the southeast without the prejudice against Queers, Jews and Blacks that was everywhere in my childhood, I never bought into the HORRIBLE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS thing, I honestly like Zoomers, and I don’t see where I AM prejudiced as a good thing, etc, and to be fair I don’t like or trust police, landlords or insurers.

But the older I get the group I absolutely LOATHE? Is journalists.

Ah yes the hit Beatles tune, “Problematic Demand for a Beej.”

oh man the richest or second richest man on earth really is basically a 16 year old redditor.

another thing with the great "young people aren't making babies!" complaint;

Everyone's noticed millenial parents don't really have the resources for kids. But traditionally the answer to "young parents don't have time or energy to keep up with kids" is "and grandparents DO." How many millenials are physically close to, on good terms with and trust their parents?

@zebratron2084 happy birthday!

weird, that's too stompy sounding to just be someone fucking and too steadily paced to be say someone moving all their furniture. Like they can't possibly have a step machine up there, can they?

#drawings finished/from today, trying out ideas from Ryan Benjamin.

maybe this is because the song got an okay amount of air time about when I came out but despite how Me'Shell says VERY clearly that she's a woman in the song, I'd assumed "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" to be about very catty Gay men for the LONGEST time.

IIIIIIIII
CAN'T STAND IT
I KNOW Y'PLANNED IT
I'MA SET STRAIGHT THIS WATERGATE

WHYYYYYYYYYY

[can't remember a chunk of it]
CAUSE I CAN'T STAND ROCKIN' WHILE I'M IN THIS PLACE
BECAUSE I FEEL DISGRACE
BECAUSE YOUR ALL IN MY FACE
SO MAKE NO MISTAKES AND SWITCH UP MY CHANNEL
I'M BUDDY RICH WHEN I FLY OFF THE HANDLE

[and that's about where I run out of lyrics memorized]

okay SO the Glenn Miller tune "Pennsylvania 65000" - finally looked it up and it turns out to be the purported oldest still-used phone number in NYC, the Pennsylvania Hotel from 1919. Apparently standardized phone numbers didn't happen till 1947.

The hotel went out of business in 2020 during Covid, and there's now a big hole in the ground where they're going to put up a tower of some sort, so it's good to know Seattle isn't the only city gleefully demolishing stuff to put up new stuff.

Ever kinda want to get cancelled on social media because you spent so much time as the officially bad kid in grade and high school etc being officially the terrible person to ridicule is one of the things you’ve been dreading as inevitable all this time?

should probably NOT express what makes me want to scream wordless anguish THIS time

went to the Asian Family Food Center and among other things got these nice big kohlrabis to roast up for a social thing

my fighter is largely unexceptional, even his highest stat is a 16 STR but I convinced the DM to give him the equivalent of 20 STR PC muscles, and then he saved the entire party from a beholder by

eh, you know, I'm already a shitty person thanks to being the wrong age, wrong marginalized group, the wrong profession, wrong sexuality, wrong whatever

so using the pre-chopped garlic, the cheapest lemon juice and the cheap variety of salt is not really gonna make me THAT much more horrible.

yep that's definitely enough Bluesky for now. Some sore nerves got stepped on with lawn cleats.

mood is really crashy right now

talking about D&D's alignment system revealed any the examples I stated and can think of as Lawful Evil society describe Georgia in the 1980s.

ah yes the video for "I Want to Break Free," the connection between Monty Python's "Most Awful Family in Britain" sketch and "Waiting for the Worms" from Pink Floyd the Wall

Before this morning I had no idea I had opinions about women's studies at all, let alone biased by my incredible bitterness about capitalism.

I apparently have opinions about womens' studies being good and useful, and also how I want to throw heavy objects.
