Lazy request for a weekend workday:

Here's repayment in advance:

youtube.com/watch?v=h0bky8HRRg ("Hiroshima Mon Amour," Ultravox -> The Church)

(con't)

pol (--), leftist firing squad 

OK, I gotta speak up.

If a group of people is "storming" your mentions and "oppressing" you by responding to hostile, prejudiced generalizations you've just made ABOUT THEM...

...maybe you are not exactly the paragon of wokefulness you think you are. Maybe you're just kind of an asshole who's using social justice to justify being shitty to people.

Cripes, I've been joking for years about writing a self-help book about furry identity play as a form of therapy.

I never thought I'd see the day where that almost started to sound like a practical idea. O_o

I mean, it's got a more sound and proven basis than a lot of the self-help books published by alleged humans these days. :p

(Seriously, I can't tell you how healthy constant low-grade RP has been for my social and emotional development, ntm getting along with @anthracite​ :> )

goddamn furries (+) 

Somethin'... space lasers. Somethin' about space lasers. And a disco. Motherfuckin' space disco. For... for foxes. ON FIRE. With postmodernism. 'Cause those foxes... don't mean shit... relative to... the discourse of space disco. So we should all get together an' live in fuckin' space.

goddamn furries (+) 

Back during the Goon Wars of the mid-00s, I had kinda daydreamed that someday other groups on the queer-radical-geek-perv spectrum would see past furries' unfair reputation as losers and notice we can actually Give Great Discourse.

And here it is years later, and it's smacking me in the face that THIS IS ACTUALLY EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING.

It's kinda exciting but kind of a shame since 20 years of cannabis overuse has made me forget what I wanted to tell them all so badly. :)

Haven't posted a link to this sucker in a while. Here's the current edition of my "commonplace book" (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonpl ), now updated with nearly 400 different fantasy RPG character classes. O_o;

day job; shameful gloating 

I have seen major circumstantial evidence that I am way ahead of my coworker on my current task.

It feels really good to be able to tell your boss, "Yeah, I have the last one written up and they should start coming in Monday," when your only rival still has work coming in from the LAST cycle.

I think I lapped them. XD I seriously might need to look for a more challenging job this year. I don't think I'm getting any more XP from these low-level missions.

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

an embarrassing confession-- if i were anywhere but awoo 

I have this urge to curl up with someone and watch the old Get Along Gang cartoon.

(Not the godawful CBS series, the proper Nelvana one where the characters actually have personalities, at least by Those Characters From Cleveland standards. But I might make you watch the dreadful reboot pilot...)

I adore her and we've had a wonderful day together, but... I don't think this is something I could really ask, nor want, of @egypturnash. 😅​

Armello, anyone? 

Is anybody else playing Armello on Steam, by any chance? I generally have zero interest in multiplayer gaming, but this is turning out to be a subtle enough game that I'd like to play it with sapients--- preferably friends who are as likely as I am to compulsively RP their characters.

(You do NOT, for instance, want to meet my head-Barnaby. He's a sweet, friendly little bunnyboy who just wants to play with his nightbirdie friends out in the forest. Highest Rot: 15. >:D )

So I may have uploaded all the Platonic and Archimedean solids as well as the two rhombic Catalan solids to our company Slack emoji set cybre.space/media/3JKu-_Vmza0q

subtweet, necessarily cryptic for reasons of shyness (+) 

Dammit, I keep calling them subtweets. :)

I don't care, today is pretty good after all.

subtweet, necessarily cryptic for reasons of shyness (+) 

a tiny star has appeared in the sky

two tiny gleams have appeared on the moon

i have made the final adjustments in my rear view mirror

i've overcome my phobia

paint my eyes red and my lips blue

radio silence is broken

i'm just back for a quick subtweet 'cause I should never read people's boosts 

"This mood was brought to you by too much caffeine. Twitch and holler with caffeine today!"

Take a moment to inspect your putative wokefulness. Who is your rhetoric likely to hurt more, the hardcore hostile members of the Hated Other... or the poor bastards who are stuck on the fence between Your Team and Their Team, neither one nor the other.

If you're screwing the refugees over harder than the people who drove them towards your camp... you suck and you're about as woke as any other memetic zombie. Fuck you.

mood (-) 

Things are technically fine. But my central nervous system has somehow seen the size and adultness of my to-do list, and the amount of stress on my timeline, and it's gone on strike.

I wish you all the best of luck with your various distresses. Those of you who have had wonderful revelatory experiences recently, I am officially delighted for you.

I am gonna be utterly useless today for anything requiring clarity or intensity of emotion, so it's workdrone mode for me. Be well, sapients.

dont ever learn about computers, their history, how to code etc, because then youll see the massive gap between what they are and what they could be, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days

Except I'm pretty sure it's "the way my heart beats," not "the way my butt..."

Hmm.

Yanno, never mind. It's Tina Belcher. We're gonna let this one stand.

if i were permitted to choose an anthem for the postfurry movement, such as it is, it would be this, no question
