American elections are like shopping for pants which aren’t comfortable. If you’re lucky you’re paying something which merely doesn’t fit because it’s intended for someone else.

Okay SO in the middle of this my Rep, who was pushing for limiting presidential warmaking, has grave misgivings about the Corker-Kaine AUMF. Okay fair; it’s basically no change at all.

Wait. Tim Kaine? Who I was obligated to vote for as veep candidate, when the Dems decided they weren’t moving left, that Tim Kaine? Yep.

Cue milspec standard rant about Dems in general and specifically how voting Clinton/Kaine in 2016 was as much a distasteful chore as cleaning a cat box, only less useful.

Sooooo sleepy. Today is just dead, and air circulation here is not great, which doesn’t help. Just want to go elsewhere and nap, or do little study drawings.

Oh yeah Green Day’s “Dookie” album. That brings back some memories of 2006 and some weird optimism I had then despite how crappy things were.

Soooo. Subtooting a couple of the Seattle people I know talking about islands, aquatic stuff. If I ever made it north, would people be up for taking the ferry to the peninsula? I used to do that sometimes well over a decade ago, but it’s way better as a roadtrip/boat ride with someone else.

I love what I’ve heard of Thelonious Monk’s work, but I didn’t have/hadn’t previously played his “Brilliant Corners” album.

I do have RHCP’s “Out in LA” album and one track I play a lot for probably obvious cranky reasons is “FU,” which turns out to be Monk’s “Bemsha Swing.”

So I’m trying out the original instrumental, which btw is great, and my mind fills in RHCP’s lyrics.

Okay so Lilo and Stitch is about outcast misfits building themselves a family when everyone else leaves them behind. It makes me cry.

Moana didn’t make me cry. It consistently makes @Oneironott weep.

Therefore I conclude whenever Disney makes a Polynesian related movie at all, it’ll be a tear-fest for someone!

Now I long for the day when they realize
Brutally and unjust laws shall not defeat us
But who defends the workers who cannot organize
When the bosses send their policemen out to beat us?
Money speaks for money, the devil for his own,
Who’s gonna speak for the skin and the bone?

I used to work near the plant, in Fremont. Now and then wannabe workers or supervisors would stop by the Starbucks I’d use to sit out the worst of rush hour. Their interactions gave an impression of something being very off, like if Amazon tried to push working in their Distribution Centers as the best job ever. Stacked badly with elitist, nepotistic coworkers driving Teslas.

Add that anecdotal stuff to what I *know* about Tesla and Musk, and.

OH YEAH I'MA GO TO A VAGUELY EUROPEAN FESTIVAL. I can hear flamenco guitar playin' already, and I can't wait to wolf down loukamades while watching caber tossing. Presumably outside so I can get a hugely terrible sunburn.

Oh right, the way people commemorate the vaguest possible description of European ancestors (you know, like what practically all African Americans have) is apparently by being a MASSIVE JERK. I'd way rather eat loukamades while watching caber tossing.

I feel connected to my Swedish ancestors. I TANGENTIALLY like music which pulls on Scandinavian history and pagan mythology (there's a lot of music I like which has nothing to do with where my people came from. Music is music. It's bigger than ANY culture.)

I don't feel anything about being "white" (if I qualify, that's a complete other ethnic rant). Ooooh, my ancestors are from EUROPE and therefore I get terrible sunburns, that sure says a lot about me doesn't it?

someday when you are older
you could get hit by a boulder
when you're lyin' there screaming "come help me please"
seagulls UNH! poke your knees.

THE NATIONAL SECURITY
CONCEPT OF COERCION
THE ALPHA THE OMEGA
I KNOW IT'S AN ILLUSION, I FAILED MY WILL SAVE

So I did some drawings and feel like that’s cleared up some problems I had thinking through quadruped anatomy. But, I just feel bad right now, like a total fuckup with no future.

Look, if you have an accent and an out of state number please don’t call me about jobs;

1) I or someone like me could have had your job except it got farmed out of the US, because someone was cheap, nepotistic or both

2) since you’re not local there’s little chance you understand commute or salary for this region and

3) experience suggests you have a metric you’re trying to meet, not a viable job opportunity. I have no spoons to waste on paperwork for your not-a-job.
