Would anyone have recommendations for car mechanics in north Seattle?

And while that’s pretty minor compared to “having ultra reactionary voices dominate a space which used to have an okay number of leftist voices” or “when reactionaries get exclusive ‘freedom of speech’ people die,” it still sucks big red baboon ass.

This is fucking depressing. As I age my dreams of pencilling for Marvel, illustrating Osprey books, or even being comfortable living off art are kinda limited, which okay sure, but what was always most important here was making people happier with artwork, not jobs or money. So it sucks to lose one means to achieve that most important goal, showing people stuff, because someone wealthier than my relatives and ancestors all combined decided to remake a huge website into a far right dumpster fire.

I wonder how many of my posts to social media throughout the years wind up being "I don't want to go to/be at work today"?

Coincidentally, I don't want to go to work today.

Okay so this is the first time I've seen bits of "Fury," I missed it in the theaters, it seems pretty good. I think it's for the best I not watch it all the way through.

"Okay Biggs, Wedge, we're going in, we're going in full throttle."
"Luke at that speed will we be able to pull out in time?"
"It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon back home."
*stomps accelerator*

"Lord Vader, we count 30 ships but they're so small they're avoiding our turbolasers."
"They'll have to be destroyed ship to ship. Get the crews to their stations."

I really, *really*, hate that dude.

Only one #drawing really finished today. Adventurers (human ranger, tabaxi rogue, elf wizard) ford a stream.

I'd never noticed this before. At 1:56 the border guard requests his Ausweiss. But wouldn't more logically the request be for his Soldbuch/Wehrpass?

wanna go home

fuck fuck fuck fuck

We are now at the point of “meal with my parents” that I truly dislike, the angry during food prep/set up phase. When part of me expects to be snapped at any moment.

I’m going to actively defend the idea of drag story hour here (initially I didn’t see the point). Kids get to see an adult not just enjoy dressing up, but go through the trouble of dressing up special to read to *them*. That’s pretty affirming stuff. And it’s sad to see that under siege from a presentation of adults as self righteous angry voices eager to punish.

#drawings yesterday. Knights or heavy infantry advance into combat and a vampire with her minions.

My dad: “If there are ten Jews there are 11 synagogues, because one of them is the one nobody will be caught dead in.”
Me: “If there are ten Jews there are 8 synagogues, because two of ‘em left to start a sangha.”

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Arius there was an age of silly hats. And unto this, Conan! Destined to wear a phenomenally silly hat upon a troubled brow. It is I his haberdasher who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of hat adventure!

BA DOOM DA DUM DA DUM DA DUM

You know.

I'm old enough to remember when AIDS hit badly enough that you couldn't just pretend it didn't exist, even outside Atlanta (especially outside Atlanta).

I hadn't figured out I was Queer so the only things I knew about LGBTIA+ folks were Gay male stereotypes thanks to movies and being called slurs myself, and this was long before I found out some of the worst about the Reagan Administration, so I was definitely not that open minded.

But I saw, heard people absolutely *delighted* that men were dying who... let's see, had ass sex? Were effeminate, loved showtunes and hated manual labor? I mean yeah I was supposed to dislike that, but none of these things especially seemed to deserve a slow nasty death sentence. The good guys sure were petty, vicious and mean. Their god who really wanted this and was apparently delighted to damn them afterwards, didn't come across as a great guy either.

It's just horrifying to me that the same fucking mindset from there and then, is still very much around now.
