I'm not the biggest fan of his defense of "free speech," but my goodness Cornel West has some points to make here: "Fitting in, in a neoliberal world, is to be well adjusted to injustice."

“Resiliency to me is not a natural thing. I do not think that we were born to be resilient. You are forced to be resilient when you are placed in an environment that is unnatural with manmade suffering—where another actor can alleviate this condition that is forcing you to be resilient to it.

I don’t want to be resilient, I think that we should fix the things that are making us be resilient”

today's to-do list 

need to make a list, as there's stuff I need to do today and I'm likely to forget stuff if I don't write it down, so:
* clean catboxen
* take out trash
* shower
* food self
* stores:
** human food
** canned cat food
** Rx

this is all that I currently remember; I'm pretty sure there's some other stuff that I thought of last night. enh, I'll find out as the day goes along!

Hey friends, I lost the job that pays my rent and bills on Friday. I have no safety net and I am looking for something new asap!

Things I am good at include social media management and marketing, writing copy, event production, data management, and junior project management. Let me know if you're aware of anything I'd be a good fit for 💕

skyrim death 

dammit, I can't resurrect Belethorker, or at least I can't figure out how. poor convenient Belethorker. (I use a mod that turns him into a horker, which makes his horrible smarmy dialogue much easier to bear for some reason)

skyrim death 

dammit, I think the stupid vampires killed Belethorker. I'm debating resurrecting him and making him immortal; he's just too convenient to offload all the weird stuff I pick up, at least until I've done enough Thieves Guild quests to get fences or gotten my Speech up high enough to sell anything to anyone, both of which will take some time...

re:lrt and I am *so* tempted to try it. the cats aren't even that appealing to me and I'm still *incredibly* tempted. GOING TO SKYRIM INSTEAD NOPE NOPE NOPE NO CRYPTOKITTIES

This is what 11% of the ethereum blockchain is being used to power

Yes, 11% of network traffic on etherium is being used to breed digital cats

Blockchain is beyond parody at this point

having been out all day, I'm now going to retreat back to Skyrim. l8tr <3

my dr. appt. was for 11:30. it's 12:18 and I still haven't seen the doctor. I'm getting annoyed--especially since I showed up 15 minutes early. :[

Reminder that in 2017, the reason it takes checks so long to clear is so your bank can use the money interest-free for almost a week before they give it to you.

rrrrgh, half an hour until time for me to go, but I'm ready to go now and don't want to sit around. ugh. off to $tarbucks... :P

Seriously? God game/village sim Rise to Ruins is introducing a new race: anthropomorphic cats who act as merchants and traders. Wait, haven't I seen this somewhere before? Maybe it's just coincidence, let's see what they're called...

The Catjeet.

You're not even trying, are you?

Thanks @kara ~
I've been trying to get @Irick to accept "Listen up you primitive screwheads" as an invocation for a year now. I honestly think it would be a great way to dedicate the tools to the work~
