ME: (searching for an enamel spider pin) Okay, I know what I want, so this should be easy to find. No, not Spiderman. I want a spider pin, preferably red. Not Spiderman. I would be willing to settle for a web, though it should pop a bit.

NOT SPIDERMAN! GODDAMN!

Hey, before you celebrate conventions for being "anti AI" and making a post about it, check to make sure they actually enforce it. Because there are numerous conventions that don't.
Normally, you find the AI slop peddlers in exhibitors.

I'm going to share a super controversial opinion and hear me out before you lose your goddamn mind:
I hate the entire Star Wars franchise with every fiber of my being. And it's entirely because of one entitled shitty cis-het white man who I can't stand. Because I used to be indifferent (cont'd)

Come see a ballet with me!
I had a bit of a wild idea: Fathom is broadcasting the Royal Ballet's Nutcracker later this month to theaters around the globe. I know a lot of people are interested but don't know where to start and live ballets can be cost prohibitive (cont'd)

My style continues to be joyfully chaotic. This is my newest find: a dress with a David Bowie kitty collar (the cat has the classic Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt over one eye) #Bowie

I went to the Illinois Reads event at Anderson's Bookshop in Downers Grove to see my dear friend @geneha.com (whose phenomenal graphic novel, Mae, was selected as one of their books of the year). He was nice enough to draw #Aziraphale from #GoodOmens as the Prince from The #Nutcracker for me 😁

First festive adventure in the books. I enjoyed myself. It's been a while since I've been to the museum. The trees were gorgeous, got to see my favorite cow, walked through a vortex, posed with some colorful characters.
Adventures continue with a trip to see The Nutcracker 😁 Stay tuned.

Forgot about my monthly union meeting, so I'm currently sitting in a tractor in the museum, participating in the meeting. 😂

This is what I'm wearing to the Museum of Science and Industry tonight. They said festive glam, so peacock flapper it is!
Also wearing my "Free Palestine" wristlet (fuck Zionists. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!), a ballet dancer charm (obviously), and my guillotine 😁

My coworker asked me if I signed up for the Secret Santa because "we really are happy you're here and you're part of the crew."
And I was barely able to hold it together (cont'd)

Historically, liberals have been fine excusing some Nazi activity as long as it benefits them. See for example the way American liberal women revere Coco Chanel despite the fact the woman was a literal Nazi, but know nothing about Catherine Dior (French Resistance fighter, sister to Christian)

Okay, I learned something today and I feel stupid.
Did you know that everyone in a workplace can participate in their Secret Santa?
🤨
At Starbucks I was told it was only for the employees who had friends/were liked. I was allowed to watch, but I was told not to burden anyone. (Cont'd)

An example of my streak of awful Christmas holidays: I don't have a tree and I will never have a tree. I had a small tree for one year: it was given to me by my abuser, during one of her twisted head games. After I was fired, that was the first thing I threw away. No more Xmas trees in my space.

Every single year, I have tried to find something enjoyable about Christmas. Some redeeming quality of the holiday. Every single year.
This year, I'm aiming low: as long as I don't get hit by a bus, I'm going to consider it a fucking success.

Social media is an invaluable research tool for authors. Because you can literally see how effective propaganda is, how easily it spreads (by using gullible privileged people), the hypocrisy of liberals, and how white people will always put their comfort and convenience above everything else.

Oh, the white capitalists and their enablers have aggravated me tonight. And I was having such a good day too.
Well, since capitalists are being shitty and self-centered, I'm going to do what Leftists do: support and uplift my community.
