Shit, I’m burned out from looking for work. Four years of radio silence, ever diminishing expectations and of course the kind words of your average internet comment section and oh for fuck’s sake.

“And when you come home from your battles, scarred and shattered, we will have decimated the VA so it will be similarly scarred and shattered, a perfect metaphor for exactly how much we love our veterans. Look, a flyover from the Blue Angels!”

And I’ll chime in with George Carlin: “If you’re pre-born, you’re fine. If you’re pre-school, you’re fucked.”

I read his first memoir (morbid curiosity) and it was pretty interesting until he started to make it at all because that’s where the creepiness came out in spades. I gave up after a while because it felt like every other story was “I was sleeping with a stripper at the time”. Like he was trying to fight against the…

In other news, stock in Crayola has gone through the roof in anticipation of a sudden increase in demand pending edits and rewrites on the book.

Yeah if only there was some way for people to... I dunno, come together? Like, try to figure out a way that they could air their grievances as a group? Bargain?

So I vend at a couple local art/crafts shows and once in a while, the schedule implodes and I can’t get a ride back. Sometimes this means a bus ride (I travel very light) but sometimes it’s a ride share or taxi because I’m bringing a two or three bins of merch, a folding table and chair... not that portable.

State Senator Bruce Thompson and State Representative Ed Setzler were seen sharing a fist bump, like two teammates who just helped break up a play on third down...

It’s like they skip to the end of the Cliff Notes about American History: “What’s with all these marches? They’re so inconvenient! Did they learn nothing from Martin Luther King?”

As a bullied kid near Saginaw, MI in the 1980s, you are my hero.

I have no interest in playing Overwatch (and, to be fair, I lack the ability to), but I’ve enjoyed the hell out of the short films they’ve released as the game has gone along. So I’d watch a webshow/TV show of it in a heartbeat.

You may in fact be on a cricket pitch!

Nothing “gonna” about it. It’s exhausting already and that’s before everyone cancels out one or another candidate because their platform isn’t 100% perfect and they’re not representing the spotted owls properly.

A writer I follow on FB had his account suspended for writing a post about the importance of impeaching Trump. Another account had a post about the dangers of straight white men (as opposed to the media bugbears of immigrants, trans people coming for your kids in bathrooms etc etc etc etc) was taken down because it…

My previous response was redacted to remove all the bitter cursing, vile language and one description of a proscribed act involving a llama, thirty feet of jumper cables and a bag of candy hearts. In response, I offer my summary:

Because we expect perfection from every position in society that serves us but have no expectation of valuing the labor appropriately. Even as we expect people to care more and be grateful for jobs with less and less prestige.

You know what else is useless? People who think minimum wage jobs are a career.

When will victims learn to keep their goddam mouths shut and accept that the world just isn’t meant for them. Who do they think they are? The meek?? HA!

*headdesk* Oh for god’s sake! Stop trying to alienate your god damned allies in the name of reassuring your corporate backers!

I once saw a comic talk about how he was half prepared for “The Mos Eisley Cantina Band: A Star Wars Story”.
