Somehow I find myself busier with chores and errands than I did while I was employed. Part of it is a deliberate avoidance of Couch Rot™️, but some of it is just... stuff I've been putting off bc I was too drained from working retail to tackle before, and it just kind of piled up.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments.

if you really believed a Senate Republican was going to hold up his end of any bargain then you ain’t got the sense God gave a lemon

Christ I can’t wait until they and everyone like them is out of office or dead and I don’t really care which one comes first
the problem seems to be that there are a bunch of senate ds who figured they couldn't win, and/or didn't care if they won, and/or felt the pain was too great, the blow to collegiality too brow furrowing, or whatever.

A good reminder of where I stand on this: I DGAF how technically good you are at traditional painting. If you use genai in ANY part of your process, you have abandoned the soul of art, abandoned the artist community and forfeit any reason I should give you an ounce of respect.

Not supporting court reform at this point should be utterly disqualifying, no tent should be big enough to include that

Nothing says "oh I am the wrong kind of cool for this scene" than rolling up to a steampunk con in my queerpunk leather jacket to hand off a destash to a seamstress like I'm dealing street fabric now that Joann's is closed.

I'm so over the cream-beige-brown-black color palette that's so popular in retail fashion right now. YAWN. Bring back jewel tones, at least!

I fully believe bringing back the WPA should be a cornerstone of the platform for whoever tries to build something new out of the mess Trump has made of the country
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Main living areas of the house have also been decluttered. My goal rn after leaving my job is to be emotionally kind to myself while keeping myself productive so I don't slide into Depressive Couch Rot™️.

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

Hope is a muscle.

Got to keep using it to keep it strong.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.
