Sup Sky that is blue. How are y'all doing today? I'm OK. Not great. Learned from Facebook two friends died recently. Both surprises. Wish I had a place to live that wasn't a tent in the woods. Especially since overnights are getting into the low 40s again.

Just a quick reminder -- if you have a job today consider yourself very fortunate. Nay, lucky. I've been unemployed since Sept 13, 2023. 1,042 days. The only jobs I'm getting any sort of feedback on now are those that are drastically underpaying their staff.

I hate having to play the role of sales person. Follow-up emails that go unanswered are the fastest way to get me to never reach out again. Why? Because if you wanted to communicate you'd respond. Email. Phone. Text message. DM. You'd reply. [1/5]

You missed dinner. Campsite fajitas are the bestitas. Weirdly the days in which I am well fed are the days where I'm fucking terrified about this upcoming fall. God I need a job.

Being extremely under employed for the last three years has resulted in cutting back on a TON of things -- like clothes. Not wearing them but buying them. The bought socks a few months ago because they're super important and mine were in bad shape. $16 for a 10pk at Target. [1/6]

I believe in proper pay for work, and proper acknowledgement for manual labor. When I saw a woman who order two coffee drinks and two sandwiches at a cafe not tip at all... I tipped $3 on my $4 coffee. FFS. Yes, tipping is annoying and wages are up. But so is cost of living.

I guess I have to take a new coffee place off my visiting list. Cameras should protect you from your customers, and v/v. A camera whose only task is to watch your register is indicative of zero trust in who you hire. If you don’t trust your stuff — get new staff. FFS. #kingfield

Remember to laugh at fascists any chance you get. And please, for the love of all that is good and holy, if you’re not currently in Minnesota I implore you to run not walk to standwithminnesota.com and lend your direct support however you can. Original song is “Warlike Lads of Russia” by Nic Jones, rewritten by me. Revised lyrics below. —————————[Verse 1]Oh when Gregory Bovinoto Minnesota went with all his troops and all his menTheir minds were fully bent For to break those northern citiesoh they had been employed But the whole town rose against themAnd their spirits did destroy [Chorus]Oh the folks from Minnesota They fight all in one mind Making Bovino to run and leave his troops behind [Verse 2]When in two Sister Citiesthe common man did stand Old Bovino and all his men took anyone they’d get But in two Sister Cities the common man’d retreat They flooded all the sidewalks and they froze hard all the streets [Chorus][Verse 3]Well it’s all across Twin Citiesthe common man held fast against Bovino and all his men They marched and drove them backThe action being so hot from right and left and front and rear“Well damn you all” said Bovino“I’ll stay no longer here”[Chorus][Verse 4]Well away then went poor Bovino as fast as he could run Over snowy fields and ditches He left cars and plans and guns The carnage of his actions, the rage of neighbors tooHe left it all behind him for it’s all he knows to do [Chorus][Verse 5]Said “It’s full 3,000 men of minetheir dignity you’ve taken. Likewise you’ve robbed them of their sleepand nobody will feed them.But never more to Minneapolis I dare advanceFor if I do I may be sure they’ll teach me how to dance [Chorus][Verse 6]So it’s to conclude and so to finish up my song Old Bovino can run from state to state but not for longFor it’s each and every tyrant and every cruel small man Must turn and face the music or else see his soul be Damned [Chorus]Oh the folks from Minnesota They fight all in one mind Making Bovino to run and leave his troops behind

Hey @dbrauer.net I’ve been on the road since 12/7. It’s time to start rolling back but I’m getting the feeling I should continue to stay away else I unload an entire can of bear spray on some Nazi thugs. Thoughts? Also seeking gas money to stay on the road in the Southwest…
