It's a good day when you get not one, but three books you ordered about creativity in the mail on the same day. 🎉
On a rare Sunday off. Most of my days on Sundays are driving to glass class, taking glass class, and driving home from glass class (it's far away). Today, because of the impending blizzard, they came to their senses and cancelled class. It just started snowing now when class would've been starting.
You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.
Now this is what defunding an agency is about. If they have no money, then they have no operating costs, which includes paychecks for these goons. If these goons aren't paid, this will hopefully help to get this under control because I'm sure they won't do this "work" unless they are paid.
Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:
I think that what I don't understand is why they aren't holding Trump accountable for the authorization in the first place. Hold him accountable if you are going to hold those following his orders accountable.
1st world problems solved today. Had to get a new smart power strip as my old one flipped out. Installing it was a beast (getting down under my desk), and getting Alexa to cooperate was a bigger beast. But I conquered it. Hooray!
I thought I read somewhere that Elon’s grandfather was deep into Apartheid rule as well.
If you want to have an easy, digestible way to learn about Apartheid, read Trevor Noah’s book, Born a Crime. This is still recent history, as Trevor is only 41, so his experience is not in the distant past.
Forgot to mention that I finished my last Adobe Creative course project this past Tuesday and am anxiously awaiting the grade so I can start to put this behind me.
Call me crazy (well, I know I am), but I was actually thinking about this song the other day, and I just saw it in my Instagram feed:

Working on the last project for my Animate class. OMG, I don't like Animate! Conceptually, I understand exactly what I want to do. In practicality, even with reviewing the lessons again for what should be basic functions, I can't get my project to do what I want it to do. Hope I can finish tomorrow.
Walmart decreasing the number of items offered in order to make a Thanksgiving sale affordable isn't the "win" that trump wishes Americans would pretend it is
A sales promotion at Walmart doesn't hide the fact that millions of Americans are facing hunger this Thanksgiving as a result of gop policy.
If you want to help your fellow Americans who are being denied their SNAP funding, you might want to check out this site I found out about on LinkedIn which gets funds directly to those in need: www.givedirectly.org
FINALLY! I finished the coursework & exam for the last tool of my Adobe Creative Professional course. Just need to complete my 3 projects, get good grades on those, & then I can turn in my grades to get reimbursed by my company. THEN I'll study for the certification exam.Wish I finished this sooner!
I'm not against holidays from other cultures. But when it involves fireworks, & they are setting them off at 10 PM (when it's been dark since 6 PM), & it's likely that they'll keep going on until late, it makes for a cranky neighbor. The noise is just disrespectful on a work/school night this late.
Thanks to the jerk who encouraged me to add this to my Outlook. You continue to damage things that I love and you suck. And #Microsoft? You need to make it easier to fix this sort of thing for non-developers like me.
I'm a PC gal. Always prefer a PC. But there are times that Windows is being a jerk. Have spent the better part of the day trying to extract a "work"/Exchange account from my personal laptop, and it's been a nightmare trying to get all the elements out & keep my machine working.
Gawd, I'm stupid sometimes. I'm away with my personal laptop, and I couldn't figure out why the fonts on my laptop screen were so small (I usually have it hooked up to a monitor). It's bc the browser was set to 80%, not 100%. DUH.
It's pretty much pitch black outside and it's barely 7 PM. And we're still in daylight savings time. I HATE IT!
This came up on my Calm app jams as I work late on a Sunday. When I read the title, Amy Pohler & Maya Rudolph playing Brooklyn housewives saying, “Sweatah Westhah” fast came to mind.
I would watch that.
This is much like what's going on in DC. From what I'm told by friends who live there, it's a similar situation--in fact, DC is actually safer and calmer than it has been in years.
Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)
I like doing amateur landscape photography, so I not only appreciate the landscapes, but even more so because you PAINTED them. I don't have that skill level for the detail to do that. Really nice work there!
And also men who are only interested in having multiple children that they likely aren't the primary caretakers for (all of them have loads of children, don't they? Each Trump has 5, Musk has something like 10-12 now, and Kennedy had a load of them too).
RFK Jr., Makary, Bhattacharya and Oz continue to downplay or outright reject the role of genetics in autism spectrum disorder.
They cannot accept that they cannot control the uncontrollable. They try to change reality to fit their illusion because they won’t acknowledge the limits of their power.
Feeling proud of myself. Prepping for a long distance driving trip for next week, and I thought my car battery was starting to go bad. Brought it to a car parts store to check, and yup, it was starting to go bad. Glad I caught that now instead of hundreds of miles away from home! Got a new one. Yay!
