I think it is very stupid and annoying that international politics and AI slop investment both directly impact the ability of people like me to study literal worms. I cannot stop thinking about how uncool that is.

“Agent Exum forwarded a news article titled “Federal agents taunted Chicago woman to ‘do something’ before shooting her” with a “Lmao” comment. The recipient responded “oh sh+t will that come back to bite you”, to which Agent Exum replied “oh well, it is what it is. Shit happens.”

it is interesting that I can't find any mainstream media coverage of Altman's sister Annie going viral on social media over the weekend for uploading footage of the first hour of her deposition in her lawsuit against him (one of two) in which she is alleging years of CSA

their system is getting fuckier by the way. they have *once again* apparently contacted my psych office for a refill on my fluoxetine *five days after* they were sent a new script for it, and also after they *filled* that script. because it was on automatic refills.

skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 5h
so today that was like a ~35 minute process. i just... rite aid never had this problem for me, but they're gone and i guess all chain pharmacies are just understaffed and overwhelmed all the time now? if only their system could put forward my pre-dated scripts automatically >_<

success! which also probably means the first call either got hung up on purpose or accident, so that's not great but my script is now in the system 👍

yes, i desperately need to switch to another pharmacy. i really really do.

skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 6h
it's kind of weird that the message now says "all of the employees are assisting other customers" instead of "all of OUR employees" oh also i just got through and the call dropped so i think their phone system might be broken again. trying one more time and then i will just go in in person tomorrow

hey. hey am i right that part of the unspoken rules in a hierarchy is that you're never supposed to outright say 'no' to the people above you in the hierarchy. because fucked up if true

i think you were supposed to show deference or something. help them feel superior? idfk lol oh and you're never supposed to say 'no', at least not outright, i think that's a big one

in my head i will like. accept a certain authority figure. they have my acceptance and permission. and then someone who is at the same rung of the hierarchy will try to tell me what to do and i will stare at them like 'wait why are you trying to tell my what to do'

October will be for a bunch of my creepy/gothy cover songs, so let me fit in a couple that are topically apocalyptic first. Both are from my 2020 album The Love Apocalypse (or, Uncovered 6) unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/its-th... This is, obviously, a lot faster than most of my songs. (day 256)

one thing I remember thinking about during the NYT's wall to wall coverage of Claudine Gay's fake plagiarism scandal is how regularly the NYT denies credit to the work of local, independent, and/or student journalists

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit
