I am once again asking for somebody to pay me a sufficient amount to live on in exchange for my labor.

Things I can do:
* analyze data and tell you what it means
* help your customers/clients
* support your technicals
* write things down/make better words
* improve your processes

Hit me up!

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Reminds of the Alexi Sayle quote

"Austerity is the idea that the global financial crash of 2008 was caused by there being too many libraries in Wolverhampton."

It’s fine to start your day before dawn, but have the decency to be contemplative & sad while doing so.

And I better not hear your voice except to say what you like in your coffee.

Thank you.

How bizarre is it that the folks who struggled with social interactions as adolescents now control the mechanisms by which people interact, socially?

Increasing military budgets as part of rising great-power competition is a disaster across multiple fronts: for the victims of wars, for an already burning planet, and for workers who don’t see real benefits from military conflict. New from me & @transitionsec.bsky.social co-director Khem Rogaly
All Guns and No Butter on a Burning Planet
The insatiable demands of the military industrial complex are a barrier to human flourishing on a livable planet.

#RecipeOfTheDay is a Spinach and Coconut Soup that’s so ridiculously easy to make – you do not much more than combine a can of coconut milk with a packet of frozen chopped spinach and a dollop of Thai green curry paste – and yet so deeply satisfying to eat (or drink). www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...
Spinach and Coconut Soup
This is an almost instant, super soothing supper made easily from store cupboard ingredients. I have stipulated two tablespoons of Thai green curry paste, but do be prepared to add more if you like a ...

thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"
The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear" One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need. Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

if there's an overarching theme of the last decade, (with obvious antecedents in 2009, 2000, 1994, and earlier) it's that one political faction believes governance to be a tool of warfare against their domestic enemies, and the other is surprised they keep getting attacked seemingly out of nowhere.

#UglyDogs I can’t imagine being told I could not bring my pet with me. Thank goodness for local teachers and Bethel Friends of Canines for working on getting pets out and being creative in ways to reunite pets with their families. This is a great nonprofit if you’d like to make a donation.

we talk a lot about finding porn in the woods but nobody ever talks about the trash bags filled with leftover gore, bones, and body parts that people hide the tension surrounding the tentative probe to make sure it's deer and not guy before you call it in is I think key to the experience
