@LeDiva @tillshadeisgone no other way to describe it, really
@LexYeen i blame Smokey the Bear. he was all like "only you can prevent forest fires" and i was like "i'm five years old and it will take me a while to get to a forest from where i am but yeah, sure, might as well"
@maddiefuzz @socketwench "cyborgs! think about it, won't we?"
@socketwench because it's CyberWerewolf Appreciation Month?
here we reach one of the really shit things about depression; i have a dozen things i could be doing but i don't feel the drive to do any of them, because the whole thing smacks of effort, man. so i'm in bed by 9PM.
plus i beat Breath of the Wild last night so i can't burn a couple of hours looking for those last 30-some-odd shrines.
at least i mostly cleaned off the desk hutch so that Phase Whatever of the new desk setup plan can continue, and i did a solid day's job search. let the Cavalcade Of Rejections begin!
@SecularJeffrey i don't know! *AM* i PP fun? gosh, i sure hope i am.

When your home burns, floods, or is destroyed in an extreme climate weather event, when someone in your family dies from heat waves, or when crops fail and people starve—come for these three people: Wael Sawan (Shell CEO), Darren Woods (Exxon CEO), and Patrick Pouyanne (TotalEnergies CEO). They knew what was coming and did it to you anyway. Sue them, shame them, heckle them, despise them. These are choices. They are to blame, not society.

this week is going to be...difficult.

Striking Ron Perlman on the studio exec who said "The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their houses":
"There's a lot of ways to lose your house.... One of them is figuring out who the fuck said that.... And where he fucking lives." https://youtube.com/shorts/EcdvuV81F_M?feature=share

@shrum cool-looking clouds are the only good thing about summer
@garrwolfdog @cstross i want to say something clever about Hagbard Celine's golden submarine being more reliable than the Titan sub but really i'm just a touch gobsmacked that Mastodon let me conjure up Charles Stross on a whim. this is a dangerous power.
@garrwolfdog i have been reading through @cstross 's "Laundry" series, and though he handles the concept of "the end of the world as we know it/something completely inexplicable taking its place" better than most; the idea of immanenatizing the Eschaton is not solely his invention.
it's a lot easier to pretend that Everything Happening Now doesn't exist as a line on a diagram being plotted somewhere and that all the lines are converging and at the center of the diagram is a big sign that says "ESCHATON (AHHHH SHIT)" when you have booze and good music.
we have always been living in the End Times. we have never had a choice in the matter.

I have a reason for coming out now. I was denied insurance coverage for surgery on the grounds of an exclusion for "sex transformation", and was told by multiple people there's basically no way to fight it.
But I ultimately won and got it paid for, and want the information available to anyone who might run into this problem so you know you're not out of luck.
I've created this document with everything I gathered to get my surgery covered. Everyone deserves healthcare.

Yes, that #MomsForLiberty "Americans and Jews" tweet is real -- and what's more, it's a real quote from an editorial that was subsequently stealth edited without clarification or acknowledgement:
