I had a couple frustrating creative business setbacks today. And it made me realize that if I continue to do photography as a side gig, I need to focus my energy.
Do what I like and what I'm good at.
And that's creative portraits and engagements

Watching the Mighty Nein, and noticed a wanted poster with a 100K gold reward.
The only price I can remember in D&D is that a longsword is like 15 gold. These two data points are not enough to tell me if 100K is a life changing amount of gold, or like a moderate salary for a year.

Just a few minutes until the RCV stuff starts tabulating again if what I've read online is accurate.
My inner spreadsheet is spinning with possibilities and very curious about the 2nd ranks of a variety of voters

When I moved to Minneapolis in the mid-aughts, it was really difficult to make friends. People from other states didn’t get it.
Now the bias is front and center in my city politics. If I’m a resident who “just got here,” do I matter less to Josh?

Jane Fonda, aka Hanoi Jane, has endorsed Katie Cashman for the second election in a row. Counterpoint: Elizabeth Shaffer never would've cut and run in Vietnam.

When I'm president, I'll pay animators and artists to make a video of me as emperor puking on all of my opponents from a war machine, not use AI to do it

Just took out my notepad at work. Has some notes from last night's werewolf the apocalypse game, which if someone looked at, would make me look like a complete lunatic who should be dragged out of the building by security
