I've been slacking on my digging. I should have been done by now but I'm only live 40% done. Ugh

If you all only knew how much the Rac(c)oon talk entered my irl conversations. Lol.

I wish anarchist outlets would have picked up on the antiwork thing. Not to overstate the importance (or the anarchist character of it), but it woulda been nice to have something interesting to sticky and talk about in that regard.

Listened to Zerzan's boring podcast for a bit. I like that he's been doing the "there it is, it's all civilization, domestication, mass society. Couldn't be any more clear, the crisis is deepening,.." thing, week after week, for decades now. It's not too interesting, but it makes me feel better when close to burning out from trying to 'improve' my analysis and critique at all fronts. Sometimes it's good to lean back and have the old man rant and snark about how the world is shit.

Hope you're all well.

Hey local oil company workers maybe don't litter buckets lined with crude oil into a freshwater stream on a wetland. I figured just littering a oil drum with bad oil so it seeps into the ground was bad enough 4 u.

Yeah I did know they do that shit B4 I bought the land..

wooo falafel is great!! pretty easy to make at home for cheap as well (if you have time to roll&fry).

pretty fucked highschool stuff going on, but honestly seems pretty run-of-the-mill from what i remember of highschool where i'm from. Not that it's okay, just that i'm not super shocked to hear unfortunately :/ Honestly i've just kinda resigned myself to the fact that teenage hormones and the process socialization is inherently a pretty traumatic time. I just hope kids get through with as little trauma as possible

It's always a bit strange to me when watching americans fight for higher wages how I have a job that makes less than minimum wage in the US but is a decent salary here.

Currently at an open mic and am the only friendless person in the room. The alcohol is the only thing that allows me to stay here

I had a similar perception, but since I immigrated to the north I found that the cost of life here is baffling.

Paying rent is what make me mad the most, but remember how cheap veggies used to be makes me wanting to go back

After 6 weeks of slowing numbers while WFH, I decided to return to the office before being made to (on the assumption that I'd have more leverage to continue WFH if I go back 'voluntarily' [it did look good on me on the meeting with the bosses]).

So the team does great, going up almost 10 percentage points to almost reaching the goal. Which means less stressed and no more nightmares about work. Sadly, I dislike the implication that i need to be in the office for things to go well when the majority of the group I manage is WFH.


I've been taking about my job too much lately. First, because I'm tired of it. Second, because there's nothing else going on in my life. Lots of accumulated stress with nothing to let go. I let it go with videogames, but I can't play most game to prevent normalizing violence to the kids this soon. Plus, whenever they see me with a controller/handheld they immediately want it and it starts a three-way fight. When left alone to play, they cause chaos somewhere else and I need to stop everything to bring back.

apparently inflation in the u.s. is as high as its been since the 60s, but minimum wages barely budge decade to decade. the minimum wage would have been about $25 an hour or so (in today's dollar) in 1965. found a website that approximated that figure a few years back, probably higher now.

Sorry to hear about that. Good luck with your brown field 😿. There was a leak near the public ones near me somewhat recently. I probably should have gone for the training to clean up the crude. Apparently it is a toxic substance in that the vapors are harmful and it needs special handling. Probably just a liability barrier, but hope you stay safe nonetheless.

Wear NIOSH-approved respirators with the proper cartridges for the hazards in your work area (which may include organic vapor types) /as specified/ in your employer's Health and Safety Plan (HASP). Dust masks do not provide adequate protection against vapors, gases, and some toxic materials.
