I was sick a bunch last week, and didn't have enough PTO to cover it. Rents in a few days. $50-$100 should cover the little things & keep me out of overdraft territory.

Care to browse? Lots of pride and chandelier necklaces, lovely mugs. Ask for custom orders too!

Calling stream. I can't even keep a stable connection to the server. Maybe tomorrow.

Internet speed test showing normal download speeds (73 Mb/s) but very slow upload speeds (0.72 Mb/s).

Reminder that there is also a shop on that page, plus jewelry commissions are open.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

As we begin to head towards winter holiday season BS already, here’s your reminder the Salvation Army are pro-fascist, eugenicist, queerphobes.

Donate directly to mutual aids for queer, disabled, and BIMPOC fundraisers instead of Salvation Army’s bootlicking bullshit.

Vivian Moira Vampire @itsviviactually.bsky.social · 2d

The Salvation Army really is the epitome of a certain kind of white conservatism

They prey on the most vulnerable. They happily leave the sort of people they don't like to die in the streets

But they smile a lot and don't cuss and say "Jesus", so they get to be respectable

Roofers are here for a 3rd day 🙄, so no stream. But the MC server is up, and shenanigans are happening.

Sunday we plan to stream taking over one of the Rose Castles. It's right at spawn 😎. See you there!

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

OTHERSIDE - Kickstarter is LIVE! @othersidespec.bsky.social · 11d

WE DID IT!! WE HIT OUR $11K STRETCH GOAL—we are officially funded for TWO YEARS! You all did that in FOUR DAYS. We're emotional at the resounding support for queer stories, poems, and art. Thank you 💜

AND we revealed a further stretch goal as well! 👀

www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

Over a hazy purple background, there's the header "stretch goals." The first three goals, of $6900, $8300, $9700 and $11000 are now illuminated in rainbow with a picture of an open lock next to them. The remaining goals of $12000 (Reprints!) and $13000 (More Art!) and $14000 (Nonfiction!) show a closed lock next to them.

Streams are coming back! Minecraft is coming back! Once the server goes live I'll have a schedule for you. And there's a Friendship Demo Day planned for Sunday.

While I look for work, y'all are getting the fun stuff :)

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

My most millennial take is that software as a service and anything explicitly browser based that requires an internet connection and does not run off the drive inside my machine is a fucking scam

No I do not want to sign into software.

90% of software should just run on your computer and do the thing it's built to do.

Not everything needs to be signed into.

There's no reason I should have to sign into Adobe Acrobat reader!

Panic attack justified today.

"Workforce reduction"

Health care industries are in trouble, and *waves hands* keeps making it harder for them to stay afloat.

Cake @ranoutofcake.bsky.social · Jul 16

It would be awesome if I didn't have a mini panic attack when my boss says "oh and one more thing.", but today is not that day.

Working in an industry that is going to struggle and/or collapse is exhausting.
