nightmares, weird sleep, job hunt 

I was a doofus and remembered time zones exactly the wrong way, so my teams interview was at 0700 rather than 1100. Either I really did well or I botched this beyond all possible imagining, so I'm now *out* of interview outfit and cooking breakfast.

I woke up a fair amount early, too, thanks to this dream about The Beatles possibly committing a murder or at least joking about having done so; John playing it off as a joke about having secreted bits of his victim about the house during Christmas (I'm not sure why I apparently associate The Beatles with Christmas), Paul gleefully talking about eating the victim. Ringo just looked morose. No matter what actually happened it obviously wasn't his idea.

uspol - trans health care rights 

Here's my script for calling my house representative:

Hi, I'm NAME, and my zipcode is ZIPCODE. I live in SENATOR NAME's district.

I'm calling to encourage Senator NAME to fight the anti-trans amendments to H.R. 4368 -- the FDA 2023 appropriations bill.

I am horrified by the attack on trans rights by senators who have introduced anti-trans amendments to this law.

Every day, I see politicans debate whether trans people have the right to receive health care, to be in public spaces, and to exist.

All trans people, including trans kids, should have the right to receive gender-affirming treatment. Their lives depend on it.

I urge Senator NAME to fight the anti-trans amendments to H.R. 4368, and all future house bills.

today, playing with drawing anthro deer and anthro spotted hyenas, figured an off day was a good time to do something I don’t think I do well anyway, maybe I’d find out something? Nudity but basically work safe (obvious bits covered, but ass).

@electrickeet this is amazing

re: making fun of James Horner soundtracks again? 

oh yeah full power has been restored to the warp engines so Vasquez and the rest of the Marines can escape

making fun of James Horner soundtracks again? 

uh-oh, given the musical cues in this part of the Willow soundtrack I can only conclude that Mad Mardigan has entered the Mutara Nebula and all the sensors are down

and right when the Teutonic Knights from Alexander Nevsky show up, too, sheesh

stuff I'm sad about today includes kittens, how I'm never going to get to another out of state convention, cute stuffed animals, the way we seem to not be able to avoid a huge extinction event, how the 90s are over, a couple of friends being dead, Leonard Nimoy being dead, etc.

feeling sick right now so sadly the hoped for visit to Barnes & Noble for air conditioning and looking at hobby magazines has been tabled in favor of feeling weepy, trying to draw and running back and forth to the bathroom

Okay, do other folks parse a mandatory field for when you graduated college as basically ageism?

oh no it's a punk/heavy cover of "Toxic," literally one of the catchiest songs ever

fine I'll play it again

and again

oh you should have been a mother

weapons grade political adjacent bitterness 

I'm sure as soon as there's a way to blame Chinese people, Queers, or Jews, most Americans will FLOCK to the idea that climate change is a very real threat.

I really need to rewatch Raiders and try to analyze the hell out of it. Getting pulled into watching clips I'm struck by little things - camera or characters constantly moving, very intentional inclusion of music - which make informational, "talky" scenes (map room, Indy meets Army Intelligence, Indy talks to Sallah about the German dig) feel exciting and active.

today, adventurers sneak up on some sort of theropod in a river. Eye contact, implied harm towards giant reptile. More of trying for simpler/cartoonier eyes with distance.

It feels sort of unfair that having largely gotten past crushing self hate, it turns out the self hate was a coping mechanism which included a fair amount of distraction, and consequently everything seems utterly bleak and the walls are closing in, in part because the self-hate limited my ability to accumulate money, etc etc etc.
