And the thing is, I did smoke weed. I smoked a lot of weed. That job was stressful. I just didn't do it inside, furthermore I lacked the power to be at my job working AND at my apartment smoking weed at the same time.

The worst thing about Seattle was how lily white everything was, combined with how lacking in self awareness they all were about it. Staten Island has a similar population and ethnic breakdown, but is acutely aware of it. Seattle swears it's a very progressive town.

When I moved back, I had to email the landlord a couple of times to get my deposit back. I made sure to remind him the first time that he had a time limit to respond before I could take him to court for not returning it.

I knew it was the students because you could walk by their door and tell. They were such dumbasses, they had the freedom to smoke in public without being arrested.

The time my landlord in Seattle emailed me at work in the middle of the afternoon to blame me for the constant weed stench on our floor, even though across the hall from me where a pair of white college students who were home all day long
"Hm...who is smoking all this weed at all hours of the day? The students on break, or the guy who works a 9 to 5 job? I say the guy who works a 9 to 5 because he's trans and latinx and from New York. New York is scary!"

so, Hypnospace Outlaw had its big mod update today, and I really think y'all should play it.
if you've played Digital: A Love Story (a free game by @christinelove@twitter.com ), you already have some idea of how it works.
basically, you're browsing 90's webrings and personal sites.

My clothes actually rotted right off of my body. I'm very irritated by this.

The way tech people talk about design is wild. It's like they don't understand what design even is.

@grainloom @kazuma if you give a shit about actually making things better for men, you *must* realize that *bullshit gender standards are the same enemy*.
the same voice that says women should automatically get custody of children when a couple splits... is also the one saying that because they think women are the natural caretakers, *and men aren't*. it's the same voice that laughs at "stay at home dads" and rags on getting emotionally involved with your own children as "not manly".

@dankwraith the flat structure + the whole rolling desks thing is just a perfect recipe for creating a bunch of individual cliques with no recourse if you're shut out or marginalized

you cant just sweep away structures and assume everything will turn out fine, you need structures in place to check individual power, address grievances, and develop unified strategy
