my career path was that my mom told me to go into software so I could make money, and I burned out, so I became a writer, and then I burned out, and then both careers collapsed, and now I basically feel like a surplus person the economy has no use for

my N60 is my favorite mostly-ignored camera. works natively with the really high quality AF-D Nikkor stuff, really good metering, the built-in flash means I can use it for parties and stuff

I was just thinking that our stimulant-addicted fascist government really needed a completely unnecessary and wholly bungled war to complete the vibe

ice has been targeting my neighborhood this week, and this pregnant working mom had her car hit and totaled in a hit and run during a high speed chase she wasn't even involved in. she's raising money for a new vehicle so she can travel to clients and care for her child

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, I'm thinking of our trans neighbors whose lives were stolen by hate & prejudice.

Folks like Rita Hester, a Black trans woman and beloved community member who was killed in the #MA7, and whose murder sparked this important day of recognition.

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today.

So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."
Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns

every time I write fiction where the lead character has a modified car, it ends up being a black Celica All-Trac (ST185) for whatever reason, and now it's sort of ambiently a dream car of mine
