"antisemites are getting emboldened [now]"

tell me you're not Jewish without telling me you're not Jewish.

okay, this singer's family is Indonesian. That explains why I can't place the ethnic features and I was thinking maybe Pinoy! Holy shit this is a good group.

oh hey my NAACP membership card showed up

filling out my ballot while listening to music from the Great Patriotic War as is appropriate for opposing Nazis.

let's work on figuring out my vote to some appropriate music!

It’s really weird how most of my thinking has moved beyond duality by necessity (I make mistakes but am not a terrible person; privilege is nuanced; people who sound attacking might not be; etc) but my take on politics has moved towards *more* absolute and dualistic (whether they’re locally Republicans, Tories or Likudniks, they’re the same complete shitheads).

THE FANTASY: I’m gonna learn Mandarin and talk fluently with native speakers, everything will work great!

MORE ACCURATE PREDICTION BASED ON RUSSIAN AND GERMAN: Native speakers will be amused, at least think I’m okay, but continue in English almost as good as mine if not better.

Today’s been busy. Here’s last night’s #drawing; an elf ranger uses Ghost Touch arrows to fight a grim non corporeal undead.

"What I have done tonight cannot be undone! I will open a portal and awaken the Ogdru Jahad, the seven gods of chaos! Our enemies shall be destroyed. And from the ashes, a new eden! RAGNAROK. AHNUNG UN RAMA." #MovieQuotes

I FEEL A CHANGE
BACK TO A BETTER DAY
HAIR STANDS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK
IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD
*growls* *arches back* *bleps*

the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Wolf" is awesome but Shakira's "She Wolf" is so disappointingly het cis normy I need to listen to Powerwolf as a palate cleanser

ohhhhhhhh
CANTUS LUPUS AGNES TOTUS
WE ARE THE WEREWOLVES OF ARMENIA
WE ARE THE ARMY OF THE WYLD!

okay if I can say something Younger Me would regard as heresy, Nine Inch Nails is actually pretty hit or miss.

*Nonstop* nut November? I mean, isn't that awful dehydrating? Is it okay to grab on and cut loose during Thanksgiving dinners I dread?

YOUNGER ME: Wow, Trent really understands all of it to write this stuff. Abusive schools, religious fanatics, childhood reduced to years of gray nothing, an ethnicity reduced to a hollow memory and photos of gaunt corpses, depression, rage. It's all there. At last someone truly understands.

TRENT REZNOR: A GIRL BROKE UP WITH ME!

somehow I went from KEXP playing "Never Gonna Give You Up" through Neil Cierega to the actual Johnny Cash cover to having to listen to "The Downward Spiral" again.

expect drawings of people in trenchcoats doing backflips in slow motion while firing twin mini-Uzis, any moment now

AH WEAR THIS CROWN OF SHIT
UPON MAH LAHR'S CHAIR
FULL OF BROKEN THOUGHTS
AH CAN NOT REPAIR
BENEATH THE STAINS OF TAHM
THE FEELIN'S DISAPPEAR
YOU ARE SOMEONE ELSE
AH AM STILL RAHT HERE

I don’t think I’m working towards tikkun olam so much as I’m desperately afraid of making things somehow worse.

Having a day of problem customers enough that I’m thinking of canceling my plans to cook chard and just do weenies for dinner. And I LIKE chard!
