Hiya! Your friendly neighborhood corgi checking in on you again! Been a while since we’ve had one of these. Figured with the election and all, might as well, plus I don’t have any work yet today so fuck it, check on my friends!

For the new folks, welcome! I do these from time to time just to give people a space to vent and unwind, or tell us abotu anything exciting you’ve got going on.

For my own part, band stuff is coming along nicely! Did a gig with a friends band last Friday that went well, our second show with a 2nd guitarist. Writing and recording, new tracks should be out by the spring. Also posted a video of the show here a few days ago. Beyond that, work has been…eh. Still looking for a full time thing, its been 14 months now. AI training has me on a few new projects, but the work is coming in slow. Had to split rent into 2 payments this month and I was able to get the first sent out, but still worried about settling up the rest next week.

Beyond that, not much else going on. One year with no booze this month, so fuck yeah for that.

Hope you’re well, and remember you are loved stalin-heart

    I just went to trader joes, my first venture into the public since the orange fascist won. I just felt incredibly sad, in my head about how all of our lives are going to get worse and we will continue to go through collectice trauma. Not that dems would have stopped it of course, but now there is a finality to how shitty things are going to become very soon. I honestly felt like crying as i was checking out…its very odd and i didnt expect to feel such emotion but its been a heavy 48 hours

      We all knew electoralism wouldnt save us.

      We all knew the fascists were here.

      Now is the time to organize. Well, years ago really, but, now is better than later.

      Nothing really changed; the stakes just went up, and a few more masks came off. You still need to organize.

      Pass out sandwiches and make the world better. Be the fucking vanguard and set an example. Or do some illegal surrealist street theater/performative crime to nurture the imagination.

      Now is the time to act. It will be easier. I promise you can do this. You just need to start, even if you feel silly at first. Use this fracture in normalcy to act.
