Can I just say how weird it is to want to see art of yourself and not just read depictions in text? What's _with_ this?

@literorrery It's all, like, visual cortex and stuff. Strange days!

@Soreth Fifteen years and not a single commission.
Three weeks and I've bought a ref sheet.

@literorrery Birds. They have priorities and they're effective. :>

@Soreth @literorrery I'm sure I have no idea what you mean. *moves to orient body facing the same direction as the other two*

@Soreth @green Sympathies. Mondays are in fact terrible.

@Soreth @green @mawr I _also_ hate capitalism. I'm still not a fan of Mondays.

@literorrery @Soreth @green

I love Mondays when I don't have to wake up far too early to shuffle deck chairs aboard the Titanic under penalty of homelessness and starvation

@Soreth @green @mawr I dislike any sense that my time is no longer my own, regardless of the reason for the obligation. Even when I choose to participate, the lingering sense of commitment chafes. That doesn't go away for anthology deadlines, so I doubt it would go away for socialism either.

work, pol 

@literorrery @Soreth @green
Fair enough.

When I agree to do something for folks I care about, I never have trouble getting out of bed. I have determination.

When I'm required to be at my desk at a certain time so I can respond to my coworkers and find ways to improve software we're actively moving away from for a business that's part of the military industrial complex in a country who's leaders (past and present) wouldn't care at all if I was killed just for being me...

Fuck that.
