- digi-water is now "quickpaint," a more kitchen-sink kind of affair that's kept as fast and loose as i can; it is also now $100 ($75 less than digi-water)

- jagged inks is now $150 ($50 less than before), as it's similar to (but more involved than) quickpaint

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ...

no attempt at managing this pain helps and most seem to make it worse, i've gotten maybe 5 good hours of sleep (cumulative) in the past 3 days, once again i'm less than politely asking whatever the fuck is chewing on me to either hurry up and kill me or fuck off

something something "age verification" something "reagan was technically still president the first time i put a quarter in a pac-man machine" something

(full disclosure: i had to be on a bar stool to reach the joystick and i had little idea what to even do but i DO remember it)

one of my hard boundaries: if i don't have a contact method published anywhere & you attempt to friend-request or contact me through it when i've made myself unsearchable on purpose **AND** I Don't Even Know Who You Are, i'm straight up blocking you everywhere i can find you because: what the fuck

had a thought about just firing up some flavor of ircd and finding me there, but on second thought: you won't find me. i will be under a rock in a sea of rocks. if i need to communicate i will leave cryptic notes scribbled on bits of paper in your coat pockets when you're not looking

moved back to the regular desk because the standing desk was making some things worse after all. it's a choice between my back/shoulders/neck hurting vs. my entire lower half hurting but especially everything from the knees down, & since i'm having paradoxical reactions to *every* NSAID i try, well.

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension.

Public pressure works.

If enough people speak up, a life may be saved.

Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.
Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE
Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Facts. The playbook is older than all of us.

"Black people don't ACTUALLY want to be treated as equals, they're just Soviet-trained commie agitators" used to be the line.

I was just about to say this after seeing some of the stories coming out in major publications.

White supremacy is already reinforcing who should die and who shouldn't in the midst of another completely avoidable tragedy.
People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

*stares in the history of Black firearm ownership*
Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny

also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

I know the idea of “better” policing is as old a demand as civil rights movements in this country, the impulse to call for it at this moment is so terribly cruel that it can only be understood as aligned with the terrorists.

They aren’t inefficient. They are terrorizing and killing people with the maximum amount of terrorist spectacle that they want and intend.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

things are about to get Very Cold and possibly Very Snowy here for the next uhhhhhh however the fuck long. hoping it won't be the "tunneling a canyon through snow deeper than i am tall just to get to the street" kind of shit from my youth because i don't have the back for that anymore

i *think* that's the first thing i've finished *and* put any significant effort into since i moved to a standing desk. aside from the usual pain i've also been dealing with my brain being Very Silly about that (read: "oh no what if i can't do real work like this") so this blew that away at least!
