It's hard to get work done sometimes in this house because I look to my right and get lost in the serenity of the trees ♥ 🌦️🌲🌳🌿🌲🌳 ♥

Work vent
And now to start an 11 hour long meeting about the platform we're being forced onto
Context on Video Essay channel, GamerGate
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.

"Why Are You So Angry? Part 1: A Short History of Anita Sarkeesian" [9:35] (Part of a 6 video playlist)
US Politics, Video Essays
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/
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 🙄🙄🙄

@vahnj I think your message may have had a mild attack of Autocorrect, but it also became the GREATEST DRAWING PROMPT I'VE EVER SEEN? https://awoo.space/media/0Tx8VUJViyGXPjBfB6U https://awoo.space/media/Nfe4fL6VK7nGphqFh-I
Update on house stuff
I started our network install yesterday :D
First was a little CAD work (cardboard aided design), then I used that to cut a wood board for mounting... Then a run to the garage for the net coming in.. And lastly, all the equipment.

On top of this, they're replatforming to a system based in Java.
I don't know Java. They're offering to teach me which is cool, but... I dunno. Python? Awesome. Ruby? I'm there. ...but Java? ...In 2017??
I mean, all that plus the parent company is heavily invested in the military industrial complex... And so they keep cutting budgets to make up for their losses in sales in that sector and...
I'm not sure I'll ever really be happy at this company, and that sucks. 😞
