Queer, atheist. Sex positive, death positive. Long-term un(der)-employed and un(der)-insured. Cruel-to-be-kind. Failing at communication, art, life.

Watching the James Brown biopic Get On Up reminded me why I'm a radical leftist. 2 hours of fruitless research to find a clip or quote for these tweets reminded me why I'm a pirate.

I'm linking to the most recent video in the playlist since I'm so fail at mobile I can't find a shareable link to the list in YouTube's mobile app while logged in. I can only find options to edit or delete.

So, in medias res:

Today would've been the bday of my friend/partner who killed himself 10 years ago.

My relationship w/my current life partner is the silver lining I found in the trauma of his death & subsequent bullying by EMS to call someone while still in shock.

This piece-in-progress is to honor both. It's clearly still in progress, and I'll post the rest of Take 3 as I complete the caption editing.

Take 4 will take a while... if I decide to make one. Still reviewing the parts from Take 3.

I made a thing.
It's a parody video involving a menstrual disc.
It comes with a TMI-filled essay in the description.
You're welcome, world.

Still not engaging much with likes, retweets, etc., so feel free to ignore this post. I just want it out there.

I miss in-person live music experiences, but the awesomeness of finally getting to catch a Crys Matthews show - and two nights in a row! - has been fabulous. Check out the hope revolution.

@andrewhuang watching your "I hate my voice" video. I'm in the love your voice (& collabs) camp. Have you considered learning from or even collaborating with a vocal coach? I've only used his videos but have noticed significant improvement learning from @EricArceneaux

#amreading the Lo-fi Manifesto again. Needed some hurts-so-good scholarship to remind me I'm still part of the problem. Stolley's call to "Design first for the most constrained users and devices" 25 YEARS AGO. I read before I designed my stream. Epic fail

Experiences like this are why the list of jobs I'd rather die than do grows longer every day.

#amreading Calling Mr Nelson Pugh again. Started working on a fan art comic summary. I'm 3 panels in & want to share before it gets spoiler-y. Buy the book.

Now I'll slink back to my cave to earn my little willing slave wages doing transcription for less than a dollar an hour.

Extending student loan "flexibilities" does not change debt-to-income ratio. If you're only dropping my payment and interest to 0 and leaving that massive reminder of my academic failures on my credit report, US DoE still doing more harm than good.

[ladychris @ladychris42]

@CarteeRaven Your bio and tweet encouraging folks to contact Biden about canceling student loan debt tells me we are likely still pretty like minded. :)

That willing slave rage goaded me out of my cave to thank Crazy Uncle Joe & Funt Kamala for a strong start, wish 'em luck & remind us all the world is still watching.

TYVM to SNL & Maya Rudolph for the fabulous portmanteau Funt. You're welcome, world, for this shitty rant. (6/6)

[ladychris @ladychris42]

Because of course it was. And it's echoed by a quote I also can't find that I attribute - perhaps mistakenly - to Hannibal Lecter from the Bryan Fuller TV series: the liberals are glad I'm alive, and the conservatives are glad I'm miserable. (4/6)

[ladychris @ladychris42]

Still NOT glad to be alive. Urge me to seek joy or happiness OR contribute to oppression & fuel hot rage/anguish that leads pacifist me to withdraw. Urge me to focus on self-care & do what I can when I can & still fuel rage: the cold, willing slave rage that keeps me alive. (5/6)

Checked https://t.co/HhDhruB8wZ where the PDF renders & I'm not asked to unblock ads to discover that the line was in a later version or improvised (final version is behind a paywall according to https://t.co/mUI0sfqkAf). (3/6)

[ladychris @ladychris42]

Skimmed/scanned Fandango MovieClips thread. Can't remember exactly which scene. Hopped over to https://t.co/bb0gDBRMY4 and clicked through every page of the text version while waiting for PDF to render in another window. Never rendered. Couldn't find a search option. (2/6)

Take action with @democracync to send messages (longer than a tweet) calling on NC Congressional delegation to vote yes on the #ForThePeopleAct and #ImpeachAndConvict 45.

@CarteeRaven Congratulations to y'all and glad you're well! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

... it seems like Benji may have started around the time I stopped teaching as a grad student. I forgot sometimes while I was teaching that I may end up with friends' kids in class.🙃
