Danger kitty

I made cable filler (the stuff in the lines that goes under the ocean) for an Employee Owned Company.

It was the BEST job I ever had. Hit all the markers, AND we were respected as emoloyees being EO.

Left during the pandemic. The company.. tbh, tanked. My payout (not even close to what I could have walked with if I stayed til retirement) would have been 12k (after taxes/fees) the day I left. I had to wait 5 years to get my stock payout due to resigning. Walked with $2k. So.. I left right when the culture shifted, and though pissed at losing 10k, my leaving feels validated.

But I know I wont ever find work like that again. Yes im sad about it.

The one blackish friend I had (immigrant at 14 from Trinidad) believes in evangelical christianty and is a maga supporter.

I tried to talk to them, but they hate trans people and anyone not from thier specific carribean island.

I live near a lot of folks from puerto rico. I befriended a few over the the last few years, who I was chill with until politics came up. 3/3 maga supporters. Fucking makes me very sad. Its the same, they hate trans people and anyone not from thier island.

Every day more nazi things are happening. everyday.

I feel like im going insane. 20 years ago, if you said "the Tvs and phones are all listening to us" youd be thrown in the grippy sock hotel. But today, it is truth, and each day, our low trust society grows.

I cant even leave the house without eyeing some people up wondering if theyre a fucking nazi or not. I cant trust a man who dont have a beard. I see young, clean shaven, buzz cut men with crosses around thier neck.. and I just, worry. Yesterday I saw a latino man with that nazi looking eagle on his sweater.

Im glad for sane, smart voices. But, its so real out here. I live by a small airport, and the back hawks and shinooks normally run drills 3 days outta a month. Theyve been running drills everyday, all day, for over a week now. I feel paranoid. Just saw an article they fired a woman for supporting trans healthcare in the military :(

Im just a dumb dumb, but this is seriously some frog boiling in the pot of water shit. It is so terrifying to see.

Posers

oh no, not the consequences of our actions...

Pretty!

I have my pickyness. But its not crazy wild. I dated a fella once who was def more on the spectrum than I. My best friend at the time, but when we went to my favorite mexican place, and he ordered chicken fingers and fries.. cant say I loved that.

Dating a super picky eater, only made me realize how important it was to me (as a varied cook), my partner love food of variation, at least to a degree where you can find something on a menu thats not chicken fingers and fries.

To his honor, he did try a few things out of his comfort zone I cooked. But I cant live off pancakes, pizza and chicken fingers, especially when I was in my baby vegan stages and just exploring new flavors. I started liking onions and peppers, avocado and spicy foods, and my pallet was growing. Nothing wrong with thiers being stagnant, but it was a serious incompatablilty, and I am not even the most adventurous eater.

I need a job from about 6am to 2pm, monday-friday.

I need a car to find this magical work schedule job.

I dont have anything.

My mental health, is not well. It makes me really upset, I am actually trapped at home. I cannot walk anywhere. I cannot bike anywhere.

Im really not doing well, and im tired of playing fucking housewife. I want to work. Literally cannot even attempt to, because I live in car centric hell. And who the fuck has the schedule I must have? no one. bloody no one. Im stressed. Its bad. Idk what to do honestly.

Im so tired of every other vehicle being this giant metal heap of shit, and im tired of the people in em.

I broke my HBO homepage.

I spent a few months watching all thier old films. My "popular movies" section, here this is easier:

I broke my whole shit. It doesnt show me jack what folks actually watch lol. Youre gonna tell me a silent film from 1922 is popular? lmao

Anway, found an old show I used to watch way back and forgot about the other day. "Bored to Death". Yall remember the Obama years? christ. anyway.

yeah HBO kinda sucks now, like everything else.

I did appreciate the doctors deafeated expression he wore apon his face and I walked out.

If he denounced it, or explained something..maybe.. but, he blew off my concern and shrugged. No. Plenty of other doctors around, I was driving pretty far anyway.

It was fucking laid out in P2025 and from the mouths of the billionaires

Arrest him. The fuck

I worked 55+ hours a week for years. During the pandemic I became a stay at home mom. I suddenly, never sped while driving and any road rage tendencies vanished, nearly overnight.

While I feel quite isolated and lonely sometimes, as everyone I know works and are busy all the time, I can't stress enough how much of a change my driving habits went through when I was no longer in "workmode".

I used to break an average of 3 traffic laws every morning getting to my 6am shift. Then, the rush to just.get.home.

To a point now, I don't like driving during rush hours, or shopping after the work crews get off. 10am on a weekday at the grocery store? Everyone is pleasant and polite."excuse me" I say, and we have a polite interchange. I'll give a compliment to a womans dress, and I've passed some good on to a fellow human, sometimes I even receive compliments from the little old ladies, I've learned from them after all.

If I go to the shop after 4pm or on a weekend? I can feel folks souls have been ripped out and stomped on, knowing what they feel.. I say excuse me as i have to scoot pass their cart, and I don't even get a response just a glare. Then I return home sad.

Tbf, if they didn't show him writing with his right hand, this would all be acceptable.

I write with my left hand, but play guitar right handed, pitch a baseball right handed, do basically everything right handed, except usung my left to write and do knife work in the kitchen.

Left handed folks are often ambidextrous.

Not to mention he's religious and back a number of years, you weren't allowed to be left handed, so maybe that is why he writes with his right hand in the scene, and maybe why it's such a liberation for him to come out as left handed? Idk

This is a bad person even outside of the Ai context.

"I get a dopamine hit from emotionally disturbing other people"

this is a bad person.

We have our first Sikh Mayor in Connecticut! Many Red towns flipped blue, some for the first time in 70 years!

My cat cuddles me when I'm sad. If any cat were born to be a support Kitty, it's my Panda

My grandmother made some good pulled pork when I was a teen, and I complimented it. She whispers to me, "the secret is a little paprika, isa little spicy"

I have a whole two nice memories with that lady. This one makes me chuckle as I load up ghost pepper sauce onto my rice.

Cherish that fact.
