If you're unfamiliar with Innuendo Studios, you may have heard of their excellent GamerGate series "Why are you so angry?" Which is in my opinion the best video essay summary there is on the subject.

OMG Innuendo Studios is doing a series on the Alt-Right called the "Alt-Right Playbook" and it's already FANTASTIC.
I cannot recommend this channel highly enough. Everything is so well written and presented; with complex concepts spelled out masterfully. I always learn so much from every video posted to this channel.

California fires
So, uh. The two fires closest to where I live have consumed nearly 9,500 acres of land together.
If you can spare any cash and want to help, I urge you to donate to charities in the affected areas: Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino counties. I personally can vouch for the Redwood Credit Union Community Fund, as it's run by the credit union I've been a member of since I was a teenager and they have never once tried skeezy banker bullshit on me. https://rcu-community-fund.squarespace.com/donate/

@zetasyanthis I sincerely appreciate it, hon. Right now, I'm going to try to get my mind off of this for a while so I can de-stres some. This has taken a huge toll on my reserve of spoons, and I have to start work super early tomorrow for a full day of meetings.. so I'm gonna need a lot of spoons by then

@zetasyanthis Yes, for now we can. I got my IP whitelisted so I can stay off the VPN, thus enabling me to stay in communication with my team and get some work done at the same time
But when they put these rules into effect at their office early next year, I'm pretty much fucked unless they fix a bunch of things in a hurry

@Mycroft At least that would be interesting

@zetasyanthis He's already in the loop, and so completely overwhelmed by all of the things being forced down his throat...
Our whole team has been making a lot of noise about how shitty the company policies are, and my boss has already pissed off the higher ups by trying to stop them from shooting us all in the foot
This really feels like the beginning of the end of our department

@literorrery Thanks, hon.
I'm being bent to the breaking point. When they start enforcing these restrictions on my coworkers it'll either get better because they'll be forced to fix these bugs, or it'll get bad enough that I'll either
a) be cut off from my team and eventually let go 'cause they can't accommodate me, or
b) my team will all quit out of frustration.
And of course this all happens literally the two weeks following closing on a house I can barely afford...

@confusedcharlot I opened a ticket with tech support and let my boss know I was being cut off from tools I needed to do my job. He's on it

@Yarideki I'm sure blocking Microsoft Teams was some kind of mistake on the InfoSec team's part but still
Venting about work (3)
Today I found out that the company blocks access to Microsoft Teams -- which was the suggested alternative to Slack when my request to unblock Slack was denied.
Also I found out when talking to the helpdesk that they don't use the company provided tools for security reasons(!!!) and guess what they use?
That's right! Slack!
I almost literally cried in frustration today. I started tearing up and got up and made tea and watched stupid shit on YouTube for a while instead

Dragoneir escaped again today and is now in gay baby jail (a smaller enclosure with a locking lid) for the next couple hours while I clean so I can transfer them to my older appropriately sized enclosure with locking lid + extra locks 🙄🙄🙄
@literorrery Augh! I feel for you. ;~;
@Aradia@mastodon.social Yay!! :D
@Kentaro Congrats on starting HRT at least! ♥️
