Going to conduct my job search as if I am a deeply unqualified cabinet nominee but I am going to be confirmed anyway.

That’s worked for actual cabinet nominees right?

Doppelganger is so good but I can’t read it for a sustained amount of time because inevitably I stop breathing and start hyperventilating

Reading Doppelganger by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and have reached the part near the end where she discusses how the third reich turned the tactics and forces of colonial violence against marginalized communities in Europe and that may be the reason why I didn’t sleep well last night.

Every time I think about my precarious employment situation as a contractor looking for a full time gig in this job market, my blood runs cold. Then I think about ICE agents and national guard deployments and my blood runs colder.

So basically I am now a snake. Don’t come near me.

Hiss.

I love so many podcasts but I don’t have money for all the Patreons and Substacks* and Discords and Slack communities 😭

This is no one’s fault except for capitalism and this endless subscription-based way of life.

*please no more substacks though

All the tech bros: “AI is inevitable!”

Subtext: “because we are throwing so much money into it that we are going to make you feel as if it was always already inevitable.”

The AI: “i don’t know what to tell you but why don’t you just copy my hallucinations into your report and call it a day?”
