Update on my transphobic supervisor: he spent all morning talking about how some billionaires are good people who earned their money through noble ventures, like investment banking. He tells me he is a stock broker on the side and offers to give me some tips.

Ok but for real why is this guy working in a homeless shelter???

Honestly, I was in a new city and needed a job, and the biggest shelter agency in town was hiring people for night shifts. Turned out I really liked the job, even with all the wild and sometimes traumatic shit that happens periodically. The social benefits are pretty cool ngl - everyone thinks you’re some kinda saint when like 90% of what you do is just clean and give out coffee and stuff. After a few years of that I was like “huh, guess I’m a shelter worker now.”

I also had some lived experience and come from a family of social workers, but I never thought I’d be a shelter person until I started doing it. Didn’t go to school for it.

I worked like 6 or 7 very different jobs before I got into homeless services. I’ve had tons of different jobs in the field at all levels from temp overnights to running entire shelter programs, but I kinda count them as the same job even if I change positions or agencies every year or so. If I counted all the promotions and agency hops it would be a lot a lot.

I’m mid-30s and started shelter work 7 years ago. I was also an unemployed disaster through most of my early 20s, so those pre-shelter jobs went by pretty fast too I guess.

If you ask reddit, he’s actually there fighting because Russia is so desperately low on manpower after waves of zerg rushes.

Finally beat Subnautica. Looking for a game that scratches the same exploration itch. Maybe with better/more base building? That was fun. Not underwater this time though. I just wanna explore a really interesting environment, and then build a really sweet house in it.

Is Marcyist when you’re a Trot but you Trot yourself into supporting AES? I’ve mostly heard it in reference to Workers World Party and those guys seemed like very nice MLs with maybe a weird party history that I never fully understood.

“they gonna touch my bra or my genitals this time?” -me every time I’m trying to get on an airplane.

He was an external candidate, and my boss really really didn’t want to have to replace any of the staff here.

Also she likes him. The only two cishet people at the (queer, culturally-specific) worksite gotta stick together.

Update on talking to agency muckymucks about my transphobic coworker: he said the Facebook posts were accidental, and that he just has the technology aptitude of a boomer, and the real issue was him friending a coworker and getting caught.

Of course, he’s also very explicitly ignoring all the trans women he works with here, so now I’m gathering accounts to bring that up to management.

Bean burger.

Also every year eggs from all over the country dress up as girls “as a joke” and realize they actually quite like it.

Local businesses have started their seasonal boarding-up-the-windows in preparation for election riot season.

Bottom but you won’t find out till they come over.

How’s the emulation coming along? My computer is potato but ran elden ring and stuff.

He should get into more controversy so I can remember him for something.

Vancouver is in Klanada.

This happened in Vantucky.

Burger national election news is scary and depressing. Got anything fun happening in your local or state elections?

Portland Oregon is choosing a new mayor and oh boy. Our choices this round include the lady with 150 unpaid parking tickets, who really probably shouldn’t be driving at this point, or we have the guy who falsely accused someone of assaulting him on the train, (there are cameras) who also used public funds to spiff up his wikipedia page and of course hates the homeless.

Or we got Keith, the guy who doesn’t seem to hate homeless people, provided they stay at an overnight shelter (he’s on the record as being against the 24-hour shelters with onsite case management). Or Liv, maybe better known as the stripper Viva Las Vegas, who seems to be running on a platform of…make Portland good and artsy again? Somehow? (The solution is lower rents).

There is also Mingus. Idk what Mingus has been up to. He’s already in the city government, probably coasting on being mediocre and not attracting controversy idk. I think he might be our water guy? Idk the city government is split really weird here. Anyways, not spicy enough to win, or get any real juicy news articles. Has a cool name though. Mingus Ulysses Mapps. Yeah that shit is tight.

You guys got anything fun going on?

You aren’t waiting till turn six.

I know there was an attempted ballot box arson in SE Portland, but I haven’t heard anything about a second arson.

Also lmao neither of these states are remotely close to being swing states, though Clark County is a swing county where Republicans win office pretty regularly. There are also cameras pointed at the Portland box, at least. Not a very well thought out plan.

Necrodominance is Necropotence #2 in many edh decks. Still very powerful.

Unlike potence though, dominance makes you draw the cards rather than just put them into your hand. This is relevant with cards that care about drawing like that awful new Sheoldred.
