asking for advice re birdsite 

Twitter's announced that if you use their services beyond May 25 you've agreed to all their privacy and ToS statements.

I read these but it's late and I think I might be missing something. With the exception of the "you've given us the license to any content you post" it all read as vague and not particularly malicious... but it's Twitter and I don't trust them.

Is there a something especially vile which I'm missing?

Depressing playlist du jour;
“The Grouch,” Green Day =>
“Teenage Anarchist,””Thrash Unreal,” Against Me =>
“Journey to the End of the East Bay,” Rancid =>
“Welcome to Berkeley,” Fifteen =>
“Because of the Shame,” Against Me

the climax of the Thrawn Trilogy where insane clone Jedi Joruus C’baoth confronts Luke Skywalker with an elite group of evil clones; Luuke, Spoongeboob, Winnie the Pooooh, and Keanuuu.

I’ve discovered that apparently making dumb spelling and grammar mistakes embarrasses me as much as my weird kinks.

Tired; listening to The Dickies, Shonen Knife and Green Day to get through another day of work in corporate America.

Wired; actually ditching work and going to the beach.

about despair 

I was thinking how the personal context relates to the background/politicized noise; in times like this, there’s a desire to follow your bliss, have a rich supply of personal relations and experience. But... I am still stuck making rent, saving up slowly to move, don’t feel valued at work or free at home, etc. Following my bliss and having a full life feels out of reach, what proactive measures I can take feel like stretching my energy to the limits.

Maybe it’s this way for you?

Oh yeah again. Ask me stuff about my weird kinks or fairly unexciting sex life or D&D or stuff?

“How did 1998 become so long ago?” used to be a “time just goes away” thing until we started asking “how did 2015 become so long ago?” I remember being told that Augustine said only God perceives time as objective.

At some point I'd like to drive north through rural nowhere, but probably need to research more. Coastal Oregon is rural enough nowhere that I think it'd be easy to drive right through and miss some really good stuff.

Seriously I wish it were possible to bottle the lack of air circulation + poor heating + circadian rhythm crash at 2-4 PM at my current worksite. Keep the bottle by my bed and chug it if I had problems sleeping. It'd knock me right out.

do not mash up Shonen Knife's "Anime Phenomenon" with Against Me's "True Trans Soul Rebel."

When I was a kid, there were these ads that'd come on TV for Tom Stymus' used car dealership. Tom was sort of your basic heavyset middle aged guy who yelled a lot - kinda what my schools wanted students to become - and he'd bang on the hoods of cars to emphasize the great deals he was yelling about.

I always wondered whether all of the used cars came with a big dent in the hood.

I’m angry about That Thing I’m Angry About again. Just wanna go draw somewhere.

Subtoot/hot take; about holy books 

What makes these things holy is that they’re human; f’rex the Pentateuch gives us a glimpse into Bronze Age people where the Quran tells you a little of what it must’ve been like to live in the 600s. That these works tend to be simultaneously enlightened and dismal is humbling. There wasn’t a mythical perfect age including ours where humanity Got It, now and forevermore, but I truly consider it divine that all these indicate that we’ve always put in a good try.

I don’t really play video games much, and I use Tumblr mostly to post/look at art, and consequently I haven’t ever played Overwatch. And while I know the game’s not actually JRPG or dating simulator I’m still a little surprised that any of the male characters might be straight?

song lyrics 

Yes I know my enemies!
They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me!
Compromise! Conformity! Assimilation! Submission!
Ignorance! Hypocrisy! Brutality! The elite!

mh history related 

@green reminded me that Pretty Hate Machine was an album that existed.

So between NIN, White Zombie, and RAtM this morning’s been mostly music I first really hit my abuse issues to. Haven’t listened to Little Earthquakes yet.

I got very lucky in a batch of ways and one of them was having music like this around when the bottom fell out of my admittedly crummy little world.

Ah yes the Beatles’ “Egregious Misogyny” album.

It’s catchy though.

Slept over 8 hours, with intestinal ugh and waking up covered in sweat at one point. I don’t *think* I’m fighting off something but.

Anyway I don’t really want to go into work. How’s by you?
