THE YEAR IS 1864

THE RISE OF A MIDDLE CLASS HAS BROUGHT ABOUT THE FALL OF A DYNASTY AND THE END OF AN ERA

A SAMURAI ONCE SERVANT TO ROYALTY IS FORCED TO WANDER

WITH NO MASTER TO SERVE

AND NO DEVICES OTHER THAN HIS WITS AND HIS SWORD

*scratches frantically behind ear*

oh FSCK YES

it's Mifune Toshiro's birthday

unlike April Fools' Day, I can seriously get into this as a holiday

the fucking ads for AngelSoft on YT

only with biblical angels instead of putti. Big wheels with eyes all over the damn place. Flames. Lost track of how many wings.

DO NOT FEAR

WIPE YOUR ASS WITH OUR FINE PRODUCT

oooh $17/hour to work in downtown Seattle

uh you do know that's not "$20+/hour" my dudes?

WELL I DON'T CARE ABOUT HISTORY

I know let's listen to Shonen Knife, there's exactly NO chance of tearing up while listening to Shonen Knife right?

ever had a good meal which was basically about a 7 on a 1-10 scale because the parts that weren't a 4 were a solid perfect 10?

Insert standard milspec rant about how much I fucking hate Seattle

this is not especially seasonal, but I colored up another #drawing.

Years ago, and I swear I'm not making this up, it was THE NINETIES.

ASSET OUT OF CONTAINMENT! SKRREEEEEEEEE!

Also now thinking about how a lot of my sorta negative assumptions- the world’s made for people officially better than me and I’ll be shat on almost as an afterthought, I can’t do all the social stuff I want, I can’t get to be successful with jobs and finances- aren’t just one assumption to challenge but several stacked with low resources, and that’s why they persist.

* I knew challenging my assumptions required being at some level where I was uncomfortable enough to think about them but not so uncomfortable I stuck with them

* I knew I held onto shitty coping mechanisms because I was low on spoons

* now realizing replacing a self destructive coping mechanism with a healthier one or not needing a coping mechanism requires self confidence that I have done this successfully in the past, so it’s like any other skill.

It’s telling about my age that, trying to give an example of being middle aged, I came out with how bands now aren’t as good as The Eagles, rather than saying not as good as say Soundgarden or RAtM or something appropriate to my actual age…

This huge BOOM came from the range so I suggested if you hit the target with a 120 mm gun you can claim you hit the bullseye and who’s gonna know the difference? My friend then suggested if you successfully bring a 120 mm gun to the range nobody’s gonna stop you, either…

Cosplay God-Emperor Leto II at the con! Plus you still have the sleeping bag with you when you need to crash out on the hotel room floor!

Actually now it's finally occurred to be to be pissed off about how a snow leopard (practically extincted in no way chosen by the cats) is not really comparable to a human fetus in more than "these fundy asswipes have decided to jam their regressive bullshit down everyone's craw in Seattle as well."

Seriously I think some of my childhood baggage manifests as a "you assholes already own everything and everywhere else, why do you need to have HERE too?"

You know what I'd really like to do?

Is make a giant photo print of some homeless encampment, and in the dead of night climb the anti-choice assholes' "one of these species is protected" billboard on Aurora, and slap the print on over the big fetus.

the irony of getting an insurance ad right before "Career of Evil"

#drawings from Wednesday and tonight!

I shouldn't have volunteered to practice-interview my friend. Reviewing how [big company] interviews people to find the best and brightest makes ME feel completely outclassed and undesirable in the corporate world.
