I love that as a sign of the times there’s a video game where the power fantasy of it is “being a shitty landlord”

I feel like I got my enthusiasm across.

I think interviewing kinda forces you to try and show yourself in the best possible light and the little goblin at the controls of my brain really hates that

Super intelligence is “that’s so fetch” for conservatives, calling it immediately

To be fair, I self sabotaged that one, as I really didn’t want to go back to working at the Apple Store. Also the look on their faces was kinda great.

Over a year ago I ruined a different job interview by describing how I got Surinam toads to fuck when asked what challenges I overcame that year. But for a job as an aquarist, that would be a net positive.

Psyching myself out over this job interview. I know I’d be good for this job but the self doubt is powerful. Coffee will fix this.

Last Chance to Seethe, where I rant for 200 pages about climate change and the destruction of the natural world.

vampire bats are champion pissers, because they need to be able to shed all the water from the blood they drink, i think people should incorporate this into their vampire fiction
