"Car dealership that disappears political dissidents" really does feel like the form America has been building to this whole time.

And no, I do not want to be on anymore on call or overhire lists. If I have to cross post my availability to any more apps I will absolutely kms

Anyway, I am smart and talented and I can do a lot of things in publishing (book design/typography, pre-press & prod management, proofreading, editing, writing) or entertainment (BethScorzato.com) so if you know anyone who would pay me regular to do any of those things...

And I know I'm not special, and I know a lot of people are in the same boat, but it doesn't make my misery any more bearable. I'm not happier knowing other people are also miserable.

I have been applying to FT gigs for well over two years since my last one ended and I'm so fuckin tired. Bootstraps is all well and good and a nice idea in theory but in practice everything is about lucky breaks and I have had no luck at all since 2021.

Can't overstate how much a steady non-freelance job would change my entire life. I don't even need to like it. It doesn't even need to be fabulous pay, just good enough. Shit is so dire in the day-to-day to survive I can't even focus on how the nation-at-large is also fucked 🫠

Big Monday Mood

The existence of a pope in 2025 is embarrassing but I appreciate that we do sometimes get lore drops from Pedo Londo like oh they've gathered together to do the ritual of the passing of papal shoes which involves a golden staff and an italian cobbler who cannot die

Just

Imagine being this relaxed ever

Like, let us be clear: I paid money for this weed and I will be smoking it. But I will not be purchasing it a second time.

Wow! I can't believe I did it. I found the Worst Vape. Unreal. Got a horchata disposable from a brand I usually like, and I thought it would lean towards sweet and cinnamon. But no. They seem to have leaned into the milk aspect. It's like a savory vape.

I want to hunt elon through a forest

Face of a woman who did not know it was a holiday and could have slept in longer but instead is now just 20 minutes early to work.

Columbo looking down.

Columbo waving and has cigar in other hand.

Powerful to choose an image from the final episode (Columbo Likes The Nightlife) where he also goes to a rave thrown by evil club owner/murderer Matthew Rhys and a girl on drugs gives him this boa.

Do you need a Valentine? Gil Faizon will be that Valentine.

Crime on the rise in this country along with rising consumer costs. This woman just stole my eggs right off my plate!
