they told me as a kid that living in a capitalist democracy would ensure I had lots of exciting choices to make, but, funnily enough, it turns out that was a lie. like even if you aren't disabled in the brainplace: wanna not get paid enough at McDonalds or at Claire's? wanna stay in the shitty apartment with your abusive partner or become unhoused? love these choices we get to make

what if I had A Job, Any Job that, for 20 hours a week, ensured I could choose to be an artist in my free time

Reminder to furry artists that shark week is 30 days away.

it's so hot in my house that my propane heater's fan tripped on. the box the propane burner heats got that hot from just the ambient air.

No one ever needs to hire me or call me for support to add an email account, unless the program they're adding it to is the current Outlook. Not even older, pre-365 versions of Outlook were missing this absolutely critical configuration setting.

Microsoft Office 365 Outlook is literally the only business email application that can't add an IMAP account to manage "janedoe@example.com" if the user's account name is just "janedoe", without a hidden trek through the deprecated Control Panel: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ms

This America day.

Help MMIW

Find your local rez and ask what supplies they need.

Browse Etsy for indigenous crafters and buy from them. Do this for all jewelry and shit from now on. They make great pieces.

Push for Duolingo to add more indigenous languages to preserve dying languages.

Use your white privilege to raise a fuss that the tribes are still treated like shit and expected to be grateful.

u.s. independence day 

I'm also celebrating by *not* blowing up a piece of it, and by trying to find out how to best help the Navajo Nation, whose people are among the group of U.S. citizens hardest hit and most devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

modern web rant 

Yes, I just experienced a completely blank page while my browser was:

> Waiting for cloud.typography.com...

to time out.

And of course, once it did finally time out, the excuse of a page instantly appeared as a misaligned, completely unreadable mess overlaid on other misaligned & completely unreadable messes.

Hey, fancy Web CMS creators!

Did you know that you can ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE your shortest, smallest, & simplest pages take OVER 180 SECONDS to load?

All you have to do is rely on 3rd-party cloud services to REINVENT EVERYTHING under the mistaken belief that they have better than 2-nines uptime or that they will outlive your CMS & won't sunset tomorrow!

IT'S THAT EASY TO SCREW EVERYONE TODAY!
