  My employer: management has zero training on working with neurodivergent people, is constantly non-compliant with basic labor laws, outed me as nonbinary to my coworkers (including the ultra-conservative misogynist queerphobic ex military guy with rage issues), has employees that have been here for months that haven't yet been set up for basic things like clocking in, still has cokehead employees without forklift certification driving around like hell on wheels, and so much more batshit mali...

  Friendly reminder that we could be living in a plentiful utopia right now--today--if we didn't keep allowing rich psychopaths to run everything.

  Remembering when my dad, in an effort to scare me into getting better grades, would tell me I could just drop out and get a crappy job at McDonald's and live alone in a little one bedroom apartment, like, as a threat; now I'm like "motherfucker where are these mythical 1br apartments I can afford on minimum wage cuz I went to college and I've been in the labor force for 25 years and have to live with three other adults to afford a place and am STILL LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK

  I have a dear friend in Portland, OR who is about to be wrongfully evicted from their home. Is there anyone with a couch or a spare room that might be able to help them out for a little bit? They're a kind person and a brilliant artist whom I've known for over 20 years, so I can confidently attest to their character. #mutualaid

  In 2002, I made a website featuring a poor-quality static image of Rick Moranis as Louis Tully as Vinz Clortho from the film Ghostbusters. Underneath the photo is a button; pressing said button plays a low-quality .wav of dialogue to match the image. Here's a link to the site so you can enjoy it in person instead of having some boner describe it to you: https://www.yeshavesome.com/

  Coworker walks over to ask me for help with something he didn't need my help with. He sounds HELLA sick, congested, sniffling, probably with a sinus infection two other coworkers had. I say "hey, are you sick?" and he goes "haha, probably, yeah" and then proceeds to get in my personal space and waste my fucking time while huffing bacteria on everything. No mask, no self-awareness.

  I regularly go to this Mexican place up the street with GREAT food, and they always ask me if I want some of their salsa and I always say no, and they always give it to me anyway. I think they are of the opinion that their salsa is really good, but they are wrong because it is in fact peppery orange water, and I don't understand why they are so proud of it, because it is the most aggressively mediocre thing they offer.

  I am one of those people who will trace every societal problem back to capitalism, but only because it's completely accurate to do so.

  A talent is being able to bend your thumb to touch your own wrist; the artist you're failing to compliment spent years learning and practicing the skills they used to make the thing you're enjoying.

  Something fun about @holodeck3 is that cheapbotstootsweet.com lets me provide a link to the source I wrote in Twinery, so you can see how the sausage is made AND crank out as many sausages as you want by running the script from the bottom of the page: https://cheapbotstootsweet.com/source/?url=https://tenforward.social/@holodeck3

  Our whole lives are being warped by a small group of people who never had to work because their money and power made it possible for them to have slaves their whole lives, and their idea of making things better is to kill off the people they think are unnecessary (not-rich non-slaves) and just hang onto a few obedient underlings and live out their listless and maladjusted idea of utopia. It was tedious and sad to hear about when they were solidifying their plans in middle school, and seeing tho...

  So we can automatically register all men between 18 and 26 to the draft, but we can't automatically register citizens to vote? Fuck all the way off. Fuck the ENTIRE circumference of that.

  People sometimes will ask why, if I indeed grew up in the 24th century, would I choose to live here in the 21st? It wasn't my call; I was nine.

  "Why can't people on Mastodon just accept that exploitative, resource-hogging, lying chatbots are the future, just like the very real people on other platforms owned by companies that are making exploitative resource-hogging lying chatbots do?"

  If the transphobia wasn't enough to make you ditch the boy wizard, let me also remind you that he's a trust fund kid, a dumb jock, and he becomes a fucking cop.

  I had a conversation where a dear friend's self-recrimination reflected my own negative self-talk so profoundly that it burst from its usual enclosure and collided with my current reading of Lessons in Magic and Disaster, which had me thinking about my truest desires and trying to listen to my most authentic self, and that collision resulted in the following thought that I'm now chewing on today: -- If I really genuinely thought I was a "bad" person, then why...

  Does anyone know a good instance for hosting a little bot? I moved my text adventure bot from Twitter to botsin.space, which no longer exists, and I want to dust it off and have it mix silly adventure prompts again.

  When I was five or six years old, my closest friend was an Iranian boy named Kamyar. He and his younger sister Kimya were frequent companions of mine and my sister, until his dad decided to move the family back to #Iran. I never saw them again, but I think of Kamyar often, and I hope he's survived the world our parents and grandparents have helped make.

  Rich white men born in the 30s and 40s have been in charge of everything for the majority of my life, and never ever even once have they ever proven to be any good at it.
