Parent's just understandn't (CW: USPol)
My post: If you ever, Ever, EVER voted Republican, kindly unfriend me forever. Then stick a flaming cactus down your throat and choke to death on the smoke.
Email from mom: Rethink your recent post please. No need to post violence or even lose friends over an election
Just vote
Go register others to vote
Be proactive and not reactive
Some of your relatives are Republicans
Prayer is required
Please take down that post
Me responding: No.

9. About to reach 4 hours of overtime working after hours on an issue that was first noticed 6 months ago, but we never got clearance to work on the host, so now it is a Sev2. + -
10. Blew up at people that didn't deserve it. - - - - - -
I am going to get so FUCKING stoned once I'm off call. Like, goddamned MARBLED.
What Kind Of Day Has It Been (HRT, MH ~))
1. Out the door late. -
2. In to work ontime anyway. +
3. Getting a raise! ++
4. Tripped door alarm. Again. (4th time, same door) - - - -
5. Fighting emotion surge and despair, trying not to cry with frustration in the RZ. -
6. Begged my boss to wait until after New Year's before canning me. - -
7. Got reassurance not anywhere near any sort of termination consideration. +
8. Actually closed ticket that was making me rush and trigger alarms. +
why organize tech workers?
> why organize? don't you, as a software dev, get paid enough?
1. no, i don't
2. without my knowledge or consent, things i've made have killed people, and my only options were to shrug or quit
3. work should not give you PTSD
4. worker rights and communal welfare is about more than pay. it's about power dynamics, accountability, representation, and taking the craft back from the profiteers who readily dispose of us

Here's a question for #TMITuesday: What's a project of love you are currently working on? What are you doing lately that is part of your interests or the things you enjoy that are part of who you are?
Ugh. 20 minute crying-jag with TLC's Unpretty running on repeat in my head cause my brain hates me and is swimming in hormones. Thanks. This is what i needed at the start of my on-call shift where I have to be ready to drive downtown at a moment's notice, so I don't even get my usual evening's weed recreation.
One of the coolest things I've seen these days is how Dave Ghrol will notice people in the audience, and call them up onstage, and invite them to jam on a song with the fucking Foo Fighters. And he tells them to not fuck it up. And more often than not, they don't! I really need to see the FF live someday.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
Huskybots, nerd, trans, PoC, furry, poly, thirsty AF, budding stoner.
