Nice to read a little book review / journal entry I wrote a year ago and it holds up. :)

[hearing light shuffling noise through the wall]
god, i hope that's a squirrel in the crawlspace and not someone moving in to the apartment next to me.
[hearing the sound of a power drill through the wall]

While Ed Mastery basically silenced the MRAs who complained about feminine pronouns in my tech books, I had previously made this table to answer them.
(By "silenced," I mean "they stopped complaining to me about it." The MRAs are still yammering away in their Man Pits.)

I wish there was an "index fund" of charities and causes that I could trust were vetted to be benefiting people and would adjust contributions to each place as necessary.
A powerful, enlightening look at modern and historical public education in NYC https://pca.st/podcast/b03f5270-aeed-0138-e6b1-0acc26574db2
Code for America is looking for volunteers to help educate people about the Earned Income Tax Credit. Apparently the EITC is one of the most progressive tax laws on the books, yet millions of eligible Americans don't know about it, so don't take it. https://bit.ly/3igZX0m

Feeling down? TONS of good news here: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/12/us/elle-reeve-charlottesville-white-supremacy-capitol-qanon/index.html
I've never been so happy to hear "nobody uses Bitcoin" :D
Fascinating language shift at work: We don't have "backlog grooming" meetings anymore, because of the 2nd definition of "grooming." They're "backlog refinement" meetings now.
Curious if every dog groomer in the US needs to / should rebrand their business.

Repeat it all together with me:
The problem isn't "polarization"
The problem is white supremacy

Finally sat down to listen to the Black Autonomy podcast. It's great, and for a first episode it's amazingly well produced.
"hmmmmmmmm
can ents eat cheese?
We're giant strong trees, we can do whatever we want
Like petting bears
Yepp :) depending on the forest. We don't have bears in Norway but I'm sure Ents can teleport to whatever forest they want
we can go to teh polar bears
OMG YES I DO"
Ha yes. "Who wants to join me in dissapearing into a forest, turning into ents and protecting the smol cute birbs against things. Maybe smacking some humans on their head with our branches"

Oh, introduction?
The Basics:
Well then, I'm O. Freelance fantasy/scifi artist, teacher, Twitch streamer and bald, sexy biker.
I work live on Twitch every weekend, and think it's exciting to find a new social media platform that seems to have a true focus on artists and art.
Something about me:
I can't burp, swim or take a good photo.
Where to find me:
Just search "oabnormal"! I'll be there. https://mastodon.art/media/ginjp-wLt3CwVyYtpj4
