One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox. By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands. Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid. “My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

I cannot find any of the specific metal cups I drink out of and I will burn this place to the ground.

I would like the Autism Announcement banner without the parasite host on it.

Clear a bitch, civilly.

The people who want you to sign up for protests are the ones who are going to sell your info to shady PACs so that the Iraq war veteran running in +50 R who made a commercial that only went viral with blue resisters can hit you up & give $9 of the $10 you send to political marketers and still lose.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

If you are a white person who subscribes to the Washington Post, your solidarity should not be expressed in "feeling badly" but in cancelling your subscription today if you have one. Otherwise no one wants to hear anything from you.

I-

This is what choking on your own farts looks like. If you are exhausted by people's reasonable responses to obvious elite PR, you might actually just be choking on your own farts.

I love Veronica so much

She has powerpuff girl energy

Baby, a mighty wig.

I am begging professional political communicators to stop talking like a bad radio ad.

My entire day (to the tune of I'll Tumble 4 Ya): I can't deploy it I can't deploy it I can't deploy it for you you recompiled it you recompiled it still can't deploy it for you

Silksong crashed STEAM? This is bigger than any award Team Cherry is going to get. I know the technical details going on behind the scenes quite well, and that's nearly unimaginable. Steam is the only game launcher + store with higher capacity than we built at Blizzard. Fucking amazing, seriously.

I pray restoration over the infrastructure teams of all the game stores right now. Hearing at work that they are all down because of silksong demand.

Steam payment system crashing? Damn, silksong about to make MONEY

All them snowbirds getting shingles.

You taking your family to Disney or Universal Studios in a state full of unvaccinated kids touching everything? Coughing on you in the epcots and what have you.

RE: last post. Scott Thompson went full Gallagher. His latest bs is "standing" with Graham Linehan who recently got in trouble for violent threats against trans people.

Fuck you Scott Thompson. You'd be nothing without the work trans people did for queer rights. Even with it, you're a bitter has-been who thinks he's owed something for being a caricature in the 90s. You've betrayed the many queer kids who admired you and you won't even get a Harry Potter cameo.

The 70s often seem like sheer camp, but you can’t fucking touch the cinema. They were fucking locked in to film as a medium. Your favorite filmmaker’s films are from the 70s because the directors knew that life is self-harm, sweat, and crashing out.

so many people do not realize how fucked up applying for jobs is right now. the amount of effort, and the process itself, is beyond FUCKED. And AI is making it worse, bc it creates an invisible hurdle without clear rules, and no relation to actual skills or *humanity*.

We are cursed so it will not be this clean. He will linger at death's door long enough for Van Jones to tear up about it on camera and at NYT/WaPo to publish at least 3 opinion pieces about the unseemliness of our collective joy.

Can confirm. Everyone is spamming job postings and despite what everyone claims AI review tools don't work. We're back to square one: referrals and pressing the flesh.

First time the CDC itself is in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

I posted a position on my team yesterday and it already has over a thousand applications. I can’t even list them in workday without keyword filtering out 80% of them. The job market is fucked right now and the recruiting process is fucked right along with it.

I am a heaux for a scotch egg and I don’t care who knows.

My one-sentence horror story since Jan 2017 has been “This *is* the good timeline.”

This is exactly what owning a house is like.

On a scale of 1 to “centrist writer who has been criticized on social media”, how severe is your pain? ☹️😔😐🙂😁

“It’s a distraction” -ing ourselves into full on confederate occupation 160 years later. I hate everybody.

This is such a good gift!

The fact that everyone knows exactly what this song is about is wild. www.instagram.com/reel/DNoxUTx...

You should not trust anyone who isn't clearly stating the truth which is that fascism is fully here at the Federal level. The main question is now what? People who aren't clearly saying this are either lying to themselves or to you.

He needs to be stopped but I absolutely don’t want him to be.

Ok, my last procrastination post. The En Vogue thing got me thinking about what other vocals blew my mind in the 90s: Spike Lee's "Do It Acappella"—which aired on PBS & was so important to music nerds. The annoying 90s acappella kids walked so the annoying aughts musical theater kids could run.

You can't imagine what it was like to be a young homosexual with a box fan and your mother's scarves when this hit the streets. There was no tiktok. It was just you, a mirror, and a hairbrush microphone.

I've engaged in En Vogue discourse so I am contractually obligated to explain to anyone under the age of 40 that when this hit BET and the Jukebox network—after the struggle vocals we had all been subjected to when rap initially eclipsed R&B—there was a cultural reset.

I’m a little sorry but this is just what my brain is like

Me showing my posts at the management meeting tomorrow instead of the dashboard I have yet to build tonight.

I'm sorry I'm posting a lot. It's just that I have management reports due tomorrow and I haven't even plugged my work laptop into the dock yet. Maybe I can post through it?

whoever put the lyrics with "compassion" over someone posing in front of a person who just received a TBI is diabolical

As a fellow radio flyer, I stan. We can't all supply the entire Oregon trail, but we deserve love too!

White people shoot like this and black people shoot like this
