Having a bit of an existential dilemma, on top of severe gender dysphoria, some self worth issues involving the layoff, some hopelessness from remembering my years unemployed during the original Dot Com bust and how it's happening again, a touch of lonliness from living alone for so long, cabin fever because I haven't gone out in a while and because of a Covid exposure keeping me homebound for now, and...

To put it bluntly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzoN-CvH0qU

@KevinLikesMaps - Wow. Fixing it in the courts could take years, years where people are forcibly de-transitioned.

Oi....

Please choose your gender:

Salesforce, Amazon and now Microsoft all doing layoffs. It really is DotCom Bust 2.0.

@teledyn @pandora_parrot - One of the reasons the Munsters are all green, and the Frankenstein Monster was green in the movies was because in black-and-white, green appears whiter-than-white to get that unnaturally pale look. When productions went to color, they kept the green.

@zx3 - As a human, all I have to say is "WHERE DO I SIGN UP."

@gwenners - It's "popular" to hate on us right now, so the right yells and screams about it, and the left just kind of ignores it instead of actively fights it.

And both are horrifying.

Is Paleo-Fiction a thing? Like the equal an opposite of Science Fiction? Cause I think I may have that genre in me.

I just realized that now that I have a laser printer, I can print up all my own postage again. But after a few years of buying stamps, they're all kinda pretty.

I have a lot of issues with sleep. Normally, my body wants to sleep from 8AM to 4PM. On my days off from work I tried very hard to not go to bed later than 4AM and wake up about Noon.

I've also recently had issues where my body has decided it's just not going to sleep if I'm not sleepy, or will keep waking up if it's not sleepy.

And then I realized - it's winter. The days are VERY short in Seattle (the sun sets about 4:30PM right now) so i can't drive very far if I go anywhere. I'm laid off so I don't have any jobs I need to go to. And as long as I'm awake for job interviews, I dont NEED to be awake when I'm sleepy, or asleep when I'm feeling awake.

Why not sleep whenever your body wants and go with it?

I might as well be comfy until I'm back to work.

@aesmael - I MUST BE ONE WITH THE MEATBALL. BE THE MEATBALL.

@alisontegan @TonyaMarie - I've got mine coming up in a few weeks!
