love being so poor i can't even afford to do a load of laundry!

but at least i caught up on my rent x_x

People's bio on the fediverse tend have this.. I don't know how else to put it, it reads like Ken in that Barbie movie who says he's really into "beach". What do you DO Ken? Oh I just beach, I'm quite good at beach. Nice to meet you, I'm really into "emacs". Nevermind that, what do you DO? Well, I emacs, what, what do you want for me, I emacs, it's what I do.

so i had a difficult conversation with the (assistant) store manager yesterday, long story short im stuck at poverty wages and i need help. i cant afford food or child support on top of my rent and other bills without additional income.

as i have mentioned recently, i am open for development/sysadmin contracts (https://lightcrystal.systems) and i'll also do name your price art commissions (https://wyrm.online/visual_art). donations also welcome 🖤

ok so i have pretty much run out of the money that i got refunded from my car insurance and that means i need to hustle.

on the one hand if anybody needs an opinionated dev/sysadmin who does stuff like this you know where to find me

on the other hand if you want a pfp or full body character portrait in full color i am offering commissions for 30 and 60 usd respectively. my recent stuff looks like this

working in grocery at the co op i think a lot about the global food distribution chain and how fucked we will be once ecological collapse has past the threshold of being able to support this system

here in Santa Fe, we are lucky to have almost half of our product as local. but even in a "best case scenario" i would say all the capacity on that local product greatly reduced by their own supply chain dependence

so if the big box stores (except maybe whole foods? i shudder to think what that might become) disappear and the co op can only supply at best a quarter of what it does now and at insane prices, pretty much everybody will have to cooperate on food production and ecological support work to survive

Check out that lil guy with the groceries.

I mean look at that hat! Coming back with a bag full of carrots and parsnips and other things you've never even heard of. Where are they off to, what's the potted plant for, is it food? Is it a pretty centerfold? It could be sentient, it wouldn't be the last cactus to board a train and head someplace.

bedding is washed, and i did some other self care things! time to go drop off a package and then i can noodle around until date night :>

ugh the main thing about not driving the past few months is that it makes doing laundry such a pain in the ass. i gotta wash my bedding on top of my other plans today and it... complicates things

i think i posted about this before but you can nicely maintain knife pleats with clothespins and hanging the skirt/dress in the bathroom during a hot shower ^^ dry cleaning usually not needed

all out fusion yakisoba time

thoughts on #occ2026

• my desktop is 15(!) years old and can play pso2 and zzz and emulate 6th gen consoles and do video editing. as far as i am concerned that is all it will ever need to do
• my laptop is also 15 years old and still functions as a daily driver
• but incidentally i have been daily driving my reMarkable tablet more than my laptop - no color, no network, and purely document based interface for drawing, reading, and writing and it has been feeling gooood. i did buy it new last year (subsidized by work) but the screen has some scratches and cracks already so combined with the other limitations it definitely has the old computer challenge vibes

it doesn't make a bit of difference, guys. the balls are inert

on this birthday of my fuckedup homeland i am going to work overtime so i can continue to pay rent and back taxes (but not child support because gods forbid a tranny actually have the resources to end the cycle of trauma) and live under an extremely corrupt government that is actively trying to make me into a scapegoat for all its failings

YEAH!

idk wtf my neighbors were on but i woke up at like 3AM to ellie goulding blasting and a bunch of young people being loud and had to close all the windows like "wtf how did this go from 0 to 100 in 2 hours"

Better stop short than fill to the brim.
Over-sharpen the blade, and the edge will soon blunt.
Amass a store of gold and jade, and no one can protect it.
Claim wealth and titles, and disaster will follow.
Retire when the work is done.
This is the way of heaven.

ugh im so tired from having to participate in capitalism and also the (mostly emotional but also logistical) fallout from losing my keys

more serious examination of yesterday's ruling:

• while the court recognizes the right for state institutions to make special exceptions for trans athletes they do not see that as necessary
• indeed simply gatekeeping on the basis of ASAB is sufficient (arguing that it would be too much overhead to examine in detail if trans women are literally in the same league physically as the cis women they would compete with, and, ironically, that the second order effects of this allowance would be deleterious)
• and the kicker, included as an aside but importantly in the ruling anyway, trans women are not women but mentally ill men and should be treated as such

bit off a lot with page 3- full of people, lots of challenging angles, and metaphorical devices that demand particular tones, but im almost done with the linework for it finally...

so the opinion of the supreme court is that trans women are mentally ill men, despite the two justices that said thats stupid??? lovely
