Putin is literally running out arms and soldiers, emptying prisons to put men in uniform, and thats not going well.

Time for nations suffering dictators held in place by Russian power, to have some Nice Democratic Revolutions.

Self-governing is the BEST!

Lets send them all notes to remind them of the benefits of not having a dictator crushing their lives.

This is a very highly variegated Philodendron Brasil I got as a cutting last year, it was struggling but seems to have settled nicely.

It has a succulent friend with it.

Once properly grown, I'll transfer it from the plastic soup container it's in to something more permanent.

They don't make them like that any more

Ha...another good one Andy. 😆

I’ve never paid for sex.

Well, not on the front end.

I've been on Mastodon for a little over four months and during that time I've blocked maybe half a dozen people.

But today I blocked an entire instance!

They used a homophobia slur. I thought about reporting it, but when I went to block them - well it turns out they're their own Admin.

B'Bye!

Wrapped up a great interview talking about my new release, THE SHADOW GALAXY, current and upcoming books, and world-building. I’ll share when it’s posted. Lots more podcasts in the works soon too!

Time for a new #introduction as my old one's a bit out-of-date.

I'm a 37 year-old cis #gay man living in western PA, USA. I work as a #Unix and (unfortunately) backup #sysadmin. I'm primarily a #NetBSD user.

I'm also into #hamradio, my username's my callsign.

I started #gliding back in July and am now a student glider/#sailplane pilot.

My other interests include #videogames, #books, #hiking, #media (which I used to work in) and #cats, especially my own named Freyja.

Bad habits we all have
-Leaving lights on
-marathon tv watching
-making a covenant with the blood god
-squeezing toothpaste from the middle

I've been inspired to paint tulips lately. I love parrot tulips, but I haven't seen any yet. I prefer to paint from life whenever possible.

"Joining us now are the people who gave us the monstrous GOP candidates the Dirty F'king Hippies told us were going to do terrible things to the country. The DFH's were absolutely right, but we can't have them on because that would mean the terrorists win."

"Coming up next, former RNC chairman Michael Steele who is filling in for Chris Hayes all month."

It gets so old to turn on MSNBC and see Never-Trump Republicans giving their never-ending takes on what Democrats need to do, after these people spent most of their lives working ceaselessly (and profiting mightily) to create the exact political conditions that produced a monster like Donald Trump.

Okay, so, I just found out that I'm being laid off. My department is being completely dissolved.

I'm really sad, because I was doing full remote data entry, and I've never been happier with a job in my life. My mental health has never been better, either.

So, can anyone point me towards a fully-remote position that involves working with data, not phones? I swear, I'm super qualified and really good at this. I work hard, and I'm dependable.
