Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

My boss also asks me for a personal goal.

See, mine would always be, "Have the manuscript I'm working on right now be part of that tiny handful of debut books that actually excites enough interest among multiple publishers that it sells at auction for big $$$. Because then I'd SO be outta here!"

Even if I like my current job, that's the dream. It just is. I don't expect it to happen, except in the sense that I always think that THIS will be the start where Felix Hernandez gets his no-hitter (no luck last night, but we're going to be there on Sunday, so maybe I'll get to see it in person!), that THIS will be the primary that finally gets us a Democratic nominee (it's never going to end, is it?), etc.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dumb fuckcake is apparently blind indeed...he did not see the SCROLL BAR on the right-hand side.

I'm confused. How does my boss manage to be in Ohio and Michigan, FUCKING THINGS UP, at the same time???

Because books.

I had to do a self-assessment for H&M. One of the questions was, "What are your career goals?"

It was hard not to answer, "Dude, I work here part-time for shit money. My career goal is not to work here anymore."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"There's plenty of opportunity for you to grow with Hop-In."

So it looks like the game of today is "things I didn't say on my self-evalutation".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In my head the Scola links that follow Teppy's work posts have sound effects, like heavy coins clinking through a vending machine.

it's never going to end, is it?

Obama should win NC, if he can manage a win in IN as well there's a chance. Thirteen days.
