I just got contacted by John Galt Staffing.

...

I think they had the wrong number. Obviously, they'd seen my resume, but nowhere on there did I put "Ayn Rand was a Toolbag"

like i feel it's a real shame how all online media is optimised for frequency, when a lot of creative things can only really be done infrequently. i see so many people online who are extremely talented but are only able to make small and frequent things with moderate amounts of polish because the attention economy is tuned with a resonant peak at "1-14 days"

there is comfort in knowing where change isn't gonna come from. The guy who is supposed to oppose the bad orange man is saying "nothing will fundamentally change."

If change comes, it will come from us

uspol, voting, PSA 

No matter how disgusted you are with this year's presidential options, please vote. Down-ballot matters vastly more when the federal government is being dysfunctional, and the current administration's lingering influence (staff cuts, malicious hires) will ensure it stays that way for a while yet. Years.

Also remember that in the U.S. of A., you have the protected right to vote for literally anyone you want. Write in "lizard people" if you feel like it!

NRA dissolution 

If you're a shooter and are distressed at the NRA's being disbanded for rampant malfeasance, theft, and chicanery, then I have good news for you: the Socialist Rifle Association would welcome you.

They're all about firearms, though. No racism allowed.

CW: You are more than your income. This is not your fault. 

Don't be too hard on yourself if things aren't working out. We have the worst president in memory, during a pandemic that's killed 160k+ Americans, and the people in charge are not providing any help or relief. The government is the failure here, not you.

You are more than your income.

Don't shoulder the blame and damage your self worth because the system is rigged and isn't working. SCREW THAT. You are not a failure. You. Are. Not.

We're all struggling together! Going to work and catching Covid could possibly kill you or the people you care about. This is not on you! You should not have to struggle or even worry about finding work during this time. It's irresponsible of those in charge to expect it.

You are not worthless.

I was afraid of: moving across the country on borrowed money (even though I had nowhere else to go) 

After facing the fear: I made it there with cash to spare and found a job within a month that enabled me to get into a house with friends. I was living my best-ever life at the time, inside of 4 months. It was a risk, but when life gives you no other choices, sometimes the best choice is to truly commit to taking that leap of faith and making the best of whatever comes of it.

People talk about the appropriation of indigenous culture by white people.

I had the inverse happen, my whole tribe of white people got appropriated and annexed by a native american medicine man and chief. Ever since then, my life has been Full of all sorts of native spirits and beings.

The local fae little folk look at me like I'm a talking dog, and Baron Samedi got on my case for being White.

Apparently celtic irish aren't supernaturally white by default.

Gender levels are over 9000.

Dresden might have to wrangle the Winter Mantle, but I'm the damn Summer Knight, and the Summer Mantle has Needs.

Had a very matter of fact convo with my new co-worker yesterday at the sprout farm.

She knew about trans stuff, but hadn't bumped up against non-binary folks. And hadn't bumped up against a Witch in ever, even though she's a Natural for the talent. She knew I was Autistic out the gate, that helped.

...Also, I'm physically demolished from this job, it's like Tai Chi, Ballet, and culinary stuff all wrapped up in what amounts to a surgical gown.

Anyone here remember the 90s Pc real Time strategy game Netstorm?

Drawings today were historically accurate tracked AFVs, “posed” from imagination, with effects - so very much outside my comfort zone. These took a huge 2.5 hours or so, I hope to pick up speed and skill with time.

War Thunder and Foxes 

Was playing War Thunder Ground Forces with @ClipClopBoom tonight, Came up on "SixTailedBluKitsune" in a narrow street.
They're in a Hetzer. I'm in a Bruumbar.
The Fox in the Hetzer is Presenting.

...150mm of HE, right up the backend, engine takes the whole blast, have a 23 second reload on the derp cannon, so I start just ramming the fox in the box while I wait for another shot.

Third solid bump and the fox box explodes. Aww, they J'd out. I thought foxes liked that kinda rough treatment.
