bomberqueen17 replied to your post “I called out for work tomorrow. I stopped vomiting yesterday but I…”

oh no. mine was over much quicker. i bet i haven’t lost even a pound, i lay around like a lump and have been stuffing tiny handfuls of food into my face like a glutton as often as i can manage.

I figured it’d be mostly over by now too. I started throwing up Friday at about 11pm so I thought I’d be in the clear by now. I hate calling out, especially at this time of the year, but I don’t want anyone I work with to get this or infect any of the customers. I just hate letting people down.

no no calling out is a NOBLE THING TO DO because norovirus’s hidden horror is that you shed viable viruses for DAYS after symptoms cease, so you are HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS once you start feeling better and get up and around. It’s the only way the virus could spread, since it’s so goddamn terrible while you have it!

everything that is happening is ugh. but I hope you’re feeling better now?

I am much recovered. I just ate dinner and it’s actually not in any way uncomfortable. Good for me!

I was thinking, today, though, that the current situation is very sort of… egalitarian, in that it’s so deeply fucked-up that those of us who’ve been following politics for decades have absolutely 0 more of an idea of what the fuck is going on and what might happen than those of us who are young and new to the scene. It’s. It’s a. It’s a frantic look on the bright side, here.

I have no idea what’s even happening and what to do about it. You really did used to be able to rely on Republicans and on conservatives in general to be very America-first, very unforgiving of anything that didn’t at least pay lip service to the armed forces and to military might and to Christian values– and especially very anti-Soviet, death to the Russians, and so forth– and what we’re in now is just–

utter baffling nonsense. The Republicans have fallen all over themselves to kiss the ass of a man who has pretty unashamedly sold himself wholesale to Russia and accepted their help in getting himself elected, is non-apologizing for it all over, and they’re not– at all dismayed about that? A man who openly abused Army Veterans, who has basically never attended church of any kind or even pretended to– I mean, raping the environment and openly stuffing the pockets of billionaires is, at least, classic Republican behavior, but the other stuff used to be complete dealbreakers, and now is just– fine, super fine, because he’s racist and that’s all they actually wanted.

The core values of the Republican party, apparently all along, could just be boiled down to “racism”, and you could just throw the rest out the window, and we were all just deluding ourselves.

Meanwhile, the President-Elect has committed treason on an order of magnitude I’ve literally never beheld before. And I’ve read a lot of history books. This has just plain never happened before.

We have had some unutterably wacky shit happen before here in these United States and none of it has ever come close to this.

And no major media outlet wants to be the one to call a spade a spade because you bet your ass that if that’s not enough and somehow, the fuckin’ spade prevails, they’ll be actually arrested because the rule of law no longer applies and our Constitution is apparently now a historical curiosity, all reprints of which will be shortly repurposed as toilet paper since they’ll serve no other purpose and after Armageddon (which is now pretty much the stated goal of the incoming administration), what else would such a thing be useful for?

And Republican voters, incredibly, seem completely fine with this, and I’m wondering if the next news story to break is going to be the revelation of some kind of mind-control device????

It’s just. Stranger than fiction. I was half-convinced I was hallucinating it, as i sat there on the floor next to the toilet scrolling through Twitter in numb disbelief.

(I mean. I’d been saying ever since whatever news story alleging it that Trump is Putin’s puppet– Hillary said so, I’m not original– but I never figured the CIA would actually say so. I never figured they’d actually find anything.)

I only had my phone because I’d been using it as a flashlight to find somewhere to puke in the dark, but man. I was sort of sorry I had it. It was the only thing going on at that hour on the Internet, and I really. I didn’t need that.

So like.

My real-life job. I’m just gonna cut to, unrelated to anything, quietly freak out, which is of interest to basically nobody, but I feel like I should record, being as this is, you know, kind of a journal. (SINCE PUTIN DESTROYED LIVEJOURNAL, THANKS FOR NOTHING, YOU FASCIST ASSHAT. Ahem.)

Well-intentioned but pretty absentee bosses. The whole thing is still afloat largely because my immediate semi-boss, a guy a couple years older than me who’s been with the company a couple years longer, kinda took it upon himself to make the online department from a weird little side gig into kind of being the major backbone of the company’s revenue stream.

But the bosses don’t really. Listen to him, much? He’d worked for the company for nine years before they bothered to meet him. They’re sort of. Not great at caring about some things, you know? I’m sure they’re very attentive to their local stores, but the satellite stores up here? Just. Not as much, y’know?

One of the best things Semi-Boss did was get us onto Amaz*n as sellers. It’s been huge. eBay was a good thing for us, transitioning into the Internet Age and all, online on the Cyber-Webs and whatnot, but was getting weird and tapering off because things kept changing there, and we just couldn’t rely on them as an income source, but Amaz*n stepped up and has been huge for us, both in us shipping direct and in us sending things in to be Fulfilled By Amaz*n.

Anyway. They’ve been doing this thing, that my semi-boss has been telling them is against Amaz*n’s TOS as sellers. The bosses insist we just Have to do this thing. We just can’t change how we do business. Semi-boss has been telling them, for YEARS, that it could get us suspended. It’s always a thing, but it’s always way worse at the holidays. This year, as usual, Sort-Of-Vaguely-Dodgy-Practice was, as usual, intensifying, and Semi-Boss was like, Guys, FOR REAL, this is going to get us KICKED OFF, and then we will be HOSED, please LISTEN TO ME, and the bosses were like, no no, we’ll be fine, we’re always fine.

So, I went away for three business days.

I come back. I missed Monday, because I was sick. Fair. I get a text today from semi-boss.

“Don’t hurry back. We’re suspended on Amaz*n.”

[I’m just starring it because this isn’t really a journaling site and so anything could get indexed, so I’m not interested in it being indexed, you know? I’m just talking about my life. Anyway.]

I don’t remember what cartoon that is, where the one guy is like– I do know, it’s Allie Brosh, it’s Hyperbole and a Half, and she’s like, “IF YOU DON’T DO THE THING, THEN CATASTROPHE,” and her other self is like “nope didn’t do the thing”, and she’s like “WELL THEN I guess Catastrophe!” and then it’s like “catastrophe!” and her other self is like “OH NO HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED”

That’s my actual professional life, guys.

(Absentee Boss sort of seems to just believe he can call Amaz*n up on the phone and be like hey rich white guy i’m a rich white guy can’t we just talk this over and we’ve tried to explain to him, dude, Amaz*n doesn’t fucking care who you are, they’re not going to talk to you, they are not going to “make a deal”, they don’t care, this isn’t the [redacted] industry of twenty years ago, nobody gives a shit about some puny little nobody who owns a multi-state chain of retail establishments open since the 50s; they own approximately half the world and control literally 50% of the retail sales FULL STOP in this nation, not just online– 50% OF ALL RETAIL ITEMS SOLD IN THE US are sold on this website. They do not care about your tiny-ass business. You will not even reach a human you can speak to. End of story. Full stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. That’s all she wrote.)

Do I have a day job anymore? Who fucking knows. Semi-Boss will figure it out. If there’s still money in the budget for me, I’ll stick around, but if not, I guess it’s a sign, to move to the Yurt in the Wilderness and forsake the ways of capitalism and also learn how to weave shirts out of grass I guess because I still do need actual money, you guys. (OK a shirt I could probably figure but how do you make bras out of grass, Internet? How? I’ll do anything but go braless, I got too much fat titty to go braless. I guess I got capitalist titties.)

IT WON’T MATTER ANYMORE ONCE PUTIN TAKES OVER AND THEN CLIMATE CHANGE KILLS US ALL HA HA HA HA HA HA HA LOLLLLLL.

OF COURSE THIS HAPPENED

I’ve seen this image before but not the text, and the text just makes it ONE MILLION TIMES better! It’s not a cheesy, irony-free recruitment poster at all, it’s a JOKE, *deliberately* cheesy FAKE recruitment poster! That is so many levels of meta I don’t know where to start - Poe Dameron’s matinee idol good looks & heroism are acknowledged and gently, lovingly, mocked in-universe! Space!PhotoShop is a thing! Memes going viral is also a thing! Is there space!Twitter? Space!Tumblr? Is someone running an in-universe Rate My Droid account? Who has the @BroDameron handle on Space!Twitter? Does Poe have space!Instagram for sharing photos of cool droids, very occasional selfies, and 9 million photos of Finn looking beautiful? It just opens up so many possibilities and I love every one of them, just like I love the name Yolo Ziff. YOLO ZIFF, guys.

This makes me feel weird about Dealing With Your Inevitable Crush On Poe Dameron, though, because I’m like 99% sure I wrote that before I saw this, but it’s weirdly… congruent.

I don’t know. Great minds. Poe Dameron is irresistible. Especially when tousled.

Thanks to everyone who offered sympathy and non-capitalist bra suggestions or solidarity regarding my post about the latest Despatch From The Front Of My Fucked-Up Online Retail Job.

I really ought to be looking at better ways to make money, yes, but probably I should also figure out medications so I can get some actual mileage out of this expensive brain of mine. That would be smart to do. I don’t know. It’s all a lot, you know?

I’m at home in quarantine one more day before finding out anything else about the work situation. I sort of… just don’t want to know.

Some replies-to-replies:

fidelioscabinet replied to your post “So like. My real-life job. I’m just gonna cut to, unrelated to…”

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHGHHHH. Seriously. I’ll bet they ignore their legal adviser, too. And their tax people.

You assume they HAVE those. That’s pretty funny. What do you think this is, the Holiday Inn? [That is a quote from a commercial campaign I never saw but that a former coworker used to quote constantly. It seemed apropos. The reference, insofar as I understood it, was that they were in a lower-quality sort of hotel, and the person was asking for some sort of basic amenity that the hotel employee replied to scornfully with that quote, as if it were some unimaginable luxury you’d only get at the top-notch brand name mentioned. see, when you’ve basically never watched TV in your life and one of your coworkers has spent her entire life raised by and tuned into the television and all of her speech is references to television shows or commercials, you feel like a goddamn alien, and that’s a really important part of the reference, for me. that indefinable layer of what the fuck. Add in that this coworker was sort of violently and extremely mentally ill, and you get what my first five years with this company was like. why am i still here? i don’t know, clearly I have zero skills at self-preservation.]

snorticat replied to your post “So like. My real-life job. I’m just gonna cut to, unrelated to…”

No chance of a “ok, we are duly chastened, please give us a second chance” in Amz-land?

In a word, no. Why would they bother? There are thirty other dealers selling the exact same products. We stand out slightly because we’re much more efficient at getting used items and deadstock and rare things up there, but this isn’t the kind of scale that even notices, let alone appreciates, that kind of individual dedication.

I’ll clarify, we never did anything dodgy enough to be illegal, or even noticeable in old-fashioned retail, but it was against Amaz*n’s TOS, so.

Maybe they’ll reinstate us, but they don’t do anything urgent during their holiday rush. They’ll look at it in January, when nobody’s buying or selling anything anyway so they have time to figure it out. Which hoses our crucial fourth quarter and will keep us from making much of the money we need to survive the coming year. *shrug* you plays the odds, you takes it how it shakes out, you know?

It just sucks to be Cassandra, seeing it coming, seeing that the odds are not good, seeing that it’s not a gamble worth taking, and never being listened to. But that’s how a business works. It’s not a democracy.

I mean. That’s how democracies work too, nowadays, I guess. Nobody *really* has a vote in anything.

~ ~ ~ ~

Non-capitalist bra solutions: I was kidding, actually. And no, when the pigs are processed, @danceswchopstck, there are no skins given back. We have no way of preparing them; I’ve been interested in trying to look into that as a further product the farm could produce, but holy Jesus tanning leather is fuckin’ nasty, that’s not a casual side line of work to get into. Oh my lordy.

No no, if we grew flax I could make linen and you can do some lovely work in linen, including supportive dress bodices, which I’ve actually made before. I was kidding. It’s just always such a pain in the ass to make yourself what you’ve been able to buy.

in politics news, I know my senator is Chuck Schumer and he’s actually kind of the main dude in the charge for this whole CIA report shebang. But I dropped my House of Representatives guy a line, because I guess they’re getting a say and I haven’t heard his name mentioned yet (what up, B-Hig, I’ve met you personally, you didn’t notice me, you lick your lips a lot and it’s creepy but not in any deliberate way).

I guess I could drop Chuck a line and let him know that I dig that he actually seems to have had the spine to say something, it’s literally his job to be the first one to speak up now, so he’d better keep doing that, and I’m there for him.

I guess I could give our junior Senator a prod too, she’s actually an alum of my high school and it’d be kind of sweet if she, you know, said something. (I waffle on whether I dig her or not; on paper she’s great, a mom and a youngish woman and a progressive, and she did manage a pretty great snippy comeback when someone slammed her for not announcing her pregnancy during some sensitive thing, and she was like bro, i’m forty and only at like six weeks, you don’t talk about that shit, that’s just not how women’s bodies work, you probably better study some biology for a minute. But in practice she’s kind of not stood up very strongly for some things and has said some kind of weaselly stuff, and i mean, most of that is basically what it is to be a politician, and how many junior senators really Stand Up Big their first term especially if they got kind of weirdly almost-appointed [she replaced Clinton, mid-term I think, when HRC got called up to be Sec of State] and also are youngish women??? There was some concrete thing, but I don’t remember it now.)

I haven’t managed phone calls, I’m using their website contact forms. I can’t do phone calls just now. I’ll try when I’m alone in the house. I almost made myself throw up the last time I had to make a phone call; my stomach is not in a condition to deal with that at the moment. (I just tried my first coffee in four days, it went okay but very slowly, I’m going to stop now. Half a demitasse cup!)

I also posted the His Problem Now worksheet to my Facebook, because i have over 600 pretty diverse friends on there, and only ever crosspost Instagram photos of baby pigs and my cat so at this point people aren’t blocking me for politics yet. I made that as nonpartisan as I could. Because HOLY FUCKING SHIT you guys.

via http://ift.tt/2hqTUGQ:
i guess i’m just brainstorming here but I would love to make a sort of… resources-style website… blog I guess… about, more or less, homesteading/prepping, only one that’s explicitly Not About Covert Racism Or Other Right-Wing Bullshit, because jesus christ every Google search, every Pinterest board, every time I look something up, eventually you wind up with Frugal-living Quiverfull Zombies-Actually-Means-Black-People Jesus Hates Fags kind of shit, no matter what, no matter how goddamn innocuous your search.

I mean, fucking, refrigerator pickles, and you’re suddenly on I Obey My Husband In Every Thing Dot Jesus Dot Biz reading about how cutting your hair is a sin. Like. What the fuck.

I’ve always idly wanted to have my own website and put my own ads on it because I do wind up with a lot of readers, whatever journaling site I wind up using. And I’ve always wanted to have a kind of theme, and always get distracted.

But I feel like trying to organize something like that wouldn’t be beyond me. And if i were smart, I’d take contributions and make there be like, community resources stuff. My main focus would be on the fact that This Site Is Not Secretly About Jesus OR Racism And You Are Safe Here And I Promise I Am A Weirdo But Not The Gross Kind. AKA, why should hateful freaks have all the post-apocalyptic fun???

Sections I’d want to include would be:

*DIY tutorials and stuff, things you can do, both from a frugal living / prepper kind of perspective and also from an intrinsic-satisfaction-of-doing-it-yourself standpoint– and this would range from food recipes to super basic construction tutorials to frugal living tips to whatever else. (I’m going to do a super mega-tutorial one of these days on how to process your own chickens, for example. I’ve been working on this for a long time.)

* consumer awareness stuff: maybe it’s because the family farm is pursuing organic certification and I just read a whole article about egg labeling again, but it’d be great to have a tab that was all the articles and resources I could compile about understanding what commercial products you *are* buying, and how to more actively make conscientious choices about that kind of thing

* political resources and stuff– overviews of government policies that are helpful/harmful– like, protecting consumers vs. rewarding bad business, or like, zoning and farm law kind of stuff letting you or not letting you do things yourself, and then bigger-picture stuff like climate change and so on

* guns. I feel like this may fold into the above tab, but maybe not. A ton of left-leaning people are in favor of reform of our gun laws, but my take on this is that we won’t get this, not in any meaningful way, not anytime soon, so maybe I’ll keep this tab separated out so that if you’re Really Not Into This, you can avoid it. But I want to write about gun laws, what the laws we have actually *are*, what your rights are as a gun owner, what your rights are as someone who does not want to get shot, etcetera. I think, at least on the grounds that the lunatics have them so I may as well, that i may pursue getting a pistol permit in my state, and i want to document that process and also clearly and concisely explain the laws and best practices that *do* exist. Simply because, again, if you Google this, it takes you about one click to wind up on the website of some wacko who wants to kill n*ggers. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. This is SO UNFRIENDLY to research if you are not actually a hideous person. But I personally know a lot of people who have guns, and many of them are a bit fed up with how gross that scene is too, and so I want to help make this information more accessible. For those who live rurally, and especially those who hunt, guns are an indispensable tool, a part of life, and something that’s around all the time, but they’re poorly-understood even there, and I’ve seen more carelessly-handled firearms in my life than I care to think about.

Anyway.

Where to start. Wordpress? Squarespace hosted site? The farm’s on Squarespace, I set that up. I wonder if I could just shove a second domain in there. I don’t know. I should talk to my sister.

Lemme see if I can lay hands on a scanner. I have nearly the entirety of Carla Emery’s 1976 attempt to collect all of the homesteading and farming DIY she could lay hands on.

WHAT that sounds amazing! I’ve never heard of this but the older resources are in many ways the better ones.

viktuuridance replied to your post:

id be into this. i know how to make a bunch of staples from scratch, but this still relies on having prepped chickens/ground flour/etc. i know in theory how to get fiber from various plants and animals, and in practice how to turn that fiber into usable garments and cloth (in ways that cost zero dollars, if you have the time)

I’m super into this and yeah, I’m kind of excited about the idea of expanding beyond #1 Buy Flour At Store because, partly, brother-in-law is now going to grow grains. Like, holy crap, that’s an unprecedented opportunity to experiment and research!

I do think that I have a unique opportunity to start from, since I live in two households, basically: one an entire organic farm with livestock and flowing streams and 150 acres of land and some heavy equipment, and the other one a tiny suburban home with not one single tree. I could definitely post stuff from both perspectives.

artifactrix reblogged your post and added:

Holy shit, yes. I would be all over that site. Do you want an assistant? Because I will HELP YOU TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, I VOLUNTEER.Because yes, there is absolutely a need for an explicitly Not That Shit homesteading resource, and I want it, a lot.

I actually am thinking maybe this would work best as a community, but I have 0 experience organizing a community.

And I feel sort of strongly that I want this to be something that has control over its own ads, so something like Tumblr is straight out. I’m not above using affiliate networks or whatever, all that shit, but I want to profit off my own content, if anybody is. I’d love to be able to at least subsidize hosting costs, if not administrative time; I want to do this in conjunction with other things so that I have revenue streams if/when my dayjob goes away. So having a community makes that tricky, but also makes it more likely that this thing will actually #1 happen, and #2 have enough stuff in it to be useful.

So, conundrums to ponder, I guess.

I’ve found a few pages that are like… not overtly gross survivalists, but even the niceish ones seem to veer unpredictably off into Jesus at unexpected intervals. And like! Jesus is my homeboy! I’m not uncomfortable with Jesus! but man the people who like him right out loud like that tend to be nuts! As I get old and cranky, I have firmly solidified my beliefs that religion is like masturbation: you talk about that shit only with people who are explicitly onboard for that conversation. I’ll tell y’all all kinds of things if I think it would help you to know it! Sex toys that work for me, lube that won’t dry out, methods of centering my spirituality, churches that aren’t creepy– but that’s like, you gotta ask, okay? Or at least, I’ll warn for that shit, even if I’m real fired up about it. Don’t spring Jesus or wanking on people. It’s not polite. That shit is sacred.

(The Bible even tells you to do that, by the way. Pray behind closed doors. Let none know what you do. Keep that shit to yourself. It’s between you and God. That’s literally in the Bible. I’m just obeying the Good Book, here.)

There’s also a lot of mommyblogging mixed in. And don’t get me wrong, I also love mommyblogging. But it’s not. It’s not everyone, kinda? And the relentless-sunshine tone tends to wear, after a while. I get it, I do. I really do. But I’d like a different focus.

That seems to be it, though. If you’re a dude, you’re Into Home Defense Against The [this-is-overtly-a-code-word] Zombies, and if you’re a chick, You Love Jesus And Your Husband And Your Kids Exclamation Point!

Yo.

Yes, please. My mom’s talk of internment camps for Chinese people has been sounding less and less paranoid all the time, and I’ve been seriously thinking of what I need to do to prepare for possibly having to hide in my own country. If you have any tips for bug-out bags that would be great.

You know what, that’s a great angle I hadn’t even thought of.

I’d briefly considered it. People talking about that Would You Hide Me thing Jewish people were retweeting, and I did think about it from the standpoint of someone who has access to some rural property. How would you hide someone in the woods? How to use game trails to camoflage comings and goings, how to avoid a visible heat signature, how to forage etc. A farm with livestock is a good cover, because you can buy quite a lot of food and so on ostensibly for animals.

There are tons of things about bug-out bags around, and I occasionally think about one of my own and never do it, so that’s a good project for sure.

But another thing– man, I know nothing about online security. I researched it a tiny bit for a fic I wrote once, but– how do you hide your identity online? How could you put together a covert, but accessible to those in need, clearinghouse? How to coordinate extractions, people with safehouses, people who could hide or protect you, with people who are vulnerable? How to make that accessible to people who need it but not exploitable by the people who want to turn them in? I’m so interested in that, and simultaneously, have absolutely no idea where to start.

Here is kind of a bad place! I’m a person who has been online a long time, and while I don’t habitually use my real name, it surely would be trivial to find out who I am in real life from reading this. I also pretty openly talk about the farm– it’s not hard to see right where that is. Obviously, hiding people there would be a terrible idea.

But the idea remains. I just don’t know how to go about researching that.

This sounds like a very worthwhile thing to do. I’d like to nominate the following keyword candidates: Sane, Inclusive (or Multicultural?), and Secular (or Agnostic?). Sane, Inclusive, Secular Prepping/Homesteading Documents could be abbreviated SIS-PHD. :D And if you haven’t already Googled for “community resilience” or similar, you might try that!

That’s a good phrase to try. All good phrases! Sometimes I just can’t think of other words for things, you know?

May I recommend Mother Earth News? Old school hippies have some good stuff floating around out there and nary a Jesus nor racist to be seen.

YOU’RE RIGHT I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMEBODY. Yes! They’re a good resource. I’ve looked up a ton of stuff on there over the years.

Sigh, I love hippies, but. I was listening to a Pete Seeger playlist back at the farm, and there were a couple good fiery old “war no more” type things, and it just made me so sad about how none of that worked and the flower children grew up and sold out and their kids (me) never got to taste any of that paradise either. The Times They Are A-Changin’ actually made me cry.

God, @artifactrix and I have just had a really long fascinating conversation about modes of storing energy that is non-electric, and I am so fired-up now, I wish I had any engineering training at all. Oh well.
