#OtD 22 Apr 1944 200 Black people, mostly @HowardU students, held a sit-in at a segregated restaurant in Washington DC. The disruption forced HQ to order the branch to start serving Black customers. A key organiser was LGBT+ Pauli Murray (pictured) stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9444...
Heavy smokers, sick kids, dogs, crap everywhere... Definitely wearing a mask today. Fuck.
Big Anxiety this morning and there's nothing I can do about it but keep going.
Trying to design a door-hanger/flyer for my HVAC company and am stuck on "less is more" and "Here's all the services ! can do" and "Here to serve the community but also pay my bills."
Graphic design is not my passion. I'm just an artist cat with tools sent from the future to help. And I'm tired.
You cannot have it both ways.
You can't be all "It's the future, accurate, trustworthy, you have no choice and it'll take all your jobs!"
And then say "It's just a widdle funtime toy guys, we're not responsible for what it does!"

Goldwings fully dressed are a bit too much for me, which is why I love my 2014 Valkyrie. It's a Goldwing without all that Goldwing on it. XD
#OtD 22 Apr 1919 a meeting of farmworkers in the IWW union was raided in Sioux City, IA, by dozens of armed police and federal agents. They shut it down, seized papers and ordered union members to leave the city. Learn more: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9443...

Baltimore bsky: do you know a civil litigation attorney that you would recommend?
Your Honor, this whole time we have been working under BOFA and will only willingly identify Nunya.

They're interested in a Master License test prep course, Rooftop unit course and Lab helpers. Depending how much the pay totals, it may be a minimal floor while I ramp up my own little shop.
Another dumb day at the dumb day refinery.
But! I did have a good conversation with the director of teaching at the trade school and they want me to come by after work next week for a chat and look around.

Goodnight planet Earth. I tried.
Falling down a bolo tie rabbit hole. I prefer to wear them to fabric and my last one string broke (family antique).

A bit of wacky weather earlier today!
A little — but over-performing — impulse in the atmosphere produced snow out west in Garrett and Allegany counties; unexpected showers in the DC area with reports of graupel and hail; and a waterspout near Ocean City, Md! (captured by

Some things cannot be fixed and you just have to learn to navigate it.
Seems... Bad.

Monday motivation or something
We have the technology and abundance, today, to make sure everyone has food and shelter, everywhere in the world. Instead of nurturing this glory, we're letting some bigoted idiot children hoard all the resources on the planet, burn down the rest and kill anyone that doesn't kiss their ass for it.
Trying to decide on a postcard or door hanger to drop for my HVAC company while I'm out and about. I like the hi-viz construction orange with black writing. Still need to set up my GoFundMe so I can finance the truck and such. The truck, union bond cost and insurance are a huge, huge lift.
I'm glad I'm not too smart or too pretty
6,979 days until I can retire.
I could sleep for 10 more hours.
But there's bills to pay.
And promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
