In other random news, my birthday/early Christmas present to myself was a Switch 2, which gave me the opportunity to start playing Animal Crossing again from the very beginning. It's weird to be so limited again in what I can do, but it's nice to have a blank slate again.

For the last decade I've wanted to open up a fabric/sewing studio geared towards garment & bag making (the quilt shop market is pretty saturated in my area). Fabric & notions for sale, a sewing-focused makerspace w/ sliding scale rental/membership, and an affordable craft-focused rental space.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

First day back to work after surgery leave and I'm already feeling like I want to crawl into a hole and scream. Cool.

Took my first post-surgery shower today and while it didn't make me feel any better, it was nice to feel properly clean. Bath wipes only do so much.

Surgery was this morning, everything went super well and I'm home and recovering nicely.

just imagined Aubrey Plaza as Amelia Bedilia interacting with Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc and nearly passed out
if we had a billion dollars we would hire Rian Johnson to make an Amelia Bedilia film with Aubrey Plaza in the titular role but also it's a murder mystery in which she is the obvious suspect

the lead up to surgery on Thursday is honestly fucking worse than the recovery. I am so incredibly stressed and miserable right now and I cannot wait to have enforced bed rest.

This is the move, loves.
It doesn't have to be us.
It doesn't have to be stickers.
But when you purchase Stuff from people who make Stuff, you keep art alive.
You keep agency and craftsmanship and
the human spirit alive.
You fund cat food and full cupboards instead of yachts

As a cat that makes stuff I like to get my stuff from other people that make stuff. I know it's good, I know the money goes to the makers, and everyone is better for it.
So we really don't like to build our name off of someone else's dipshittery
but five months after this post
(which was not the first SM fuckery)
almost EVERY new sticker client mentions wanting to get away from Sticker Mule
So thanks, I guess, weird Sticker Mule guy.

The fact that it was faster for me to initiate my short term disability claim for my surgery than it was to get a hold of someone at the hospital to get an estimate for said surgery is wild.

$20,000,000,000 of debt financing is a shockingly large number to have to service, while also transitioning from a public to private organization and all the implications that has on the people that work in it.
We've obviously never seen anything like this at this scale in the industry before.

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

the right-wing actually taking over the business side of gaming in addition to the cultural side is a huge alarm bell
imagine if actual Nazis owned the big movie studios in the 1930s and 40s or bought out Desilu Studios in the 50s, that's what this is, it's massive

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.
Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?
