I do graphic work. One client often asks me to help
create presentations.
Client: I need you to pretty this up for me. I’m
not sold on the layout, so if you want to tweak it, that’s fine.
He sends me a practically incomprehensible diagram. I
came up with a new design that makes more sense, and I send a couple sketches
of it back to him for approval.
Client: I like it, but it needs some tweaks. Can
you finish both the one I sent you and this, but make yours look more like
this? I need these ASAP.
Me: Yes, but I have other urgent priorities too,
and if I do both of these right now, it’s going to eat up my entire day. Which
one would you like to see first?
Client: I don’t understand, why will it take you
a couple of hours each? It only took me 20 minutes to make this in PowerPoint.
Me: Because PowerPoint is not graphics software,
and I take some amount of pride in my work?
Tonight in Buffalo, as concrete proof that we are living inside of an SNL skit, Donald Trump applauded the policemen and firefighters who risked their lives in 7-11.
Yes.

Today is Primary Day in NY and theres already been several instances of people who are experiencing severe Voter Suppression
there are reports of:
machines not working right
turning down voters who don’a have a Voter id (even though it’s not legally needed to vote)
Voting booths being opened hours late so people get tired and leave before they can vote
voter hours being cut so working class people can’t vote
Keep In Mind: this is the same state who’s people recently Filed An Emergency Lawsuit To Give Voting Rights Back To 3.2 Million People, after Hundreds of voters, most of them registered with the Democratic Party, are claiming their voter registration was mysteriously changed to “independent” or “no affiliation” without their consent. Making them unable to vote in the closed primary state.
DO NOT LET THEM MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM!! STAY IN LINE AND VOTE!! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!!

I have several relatives who couldn’t vote because they had to work; they didn’t get absentee ballots because everyone was under the impression polls would be open earlier than noon (as they always are, even for smaller local elections) and it was too late to get absentee ballots by the time they got off their shifts. I and several friends couldn’t vote because we’re registered as Independent - those of us who DID manage to switch before the really fucking early deadline all the way back in October were told that their party changes wouldn’t go into effect until after the general election, so it basically did nothing.
My stepdad was a massive control freak with a ridiculous temper.
He controlled every aspect of our lives, but he was especially bad about the TV. He always had to have his chair and always had the remote, no matter what. Not even my mom was allowed to use the chair or the remote when he wanted them. The whole rest of the family could have been 10 minutes from the end of a movie and he’d still change the channel on us. Everyone also had to be completely silent when he was watching something (especially Judge Judy or COPS). If he could hear us make any noise at all, he would go ballistic.
When I was about 12, I got Mission: Impossible for the Gameboy Color. It was a terrible game, but had one really neat feature: you could point any remote at the Gameboy’s infrared port and it would record the signals generated by the remote and then map them to the Gameboy’s buttons. This effectively made the Gameboy a universal remote.
I was never without my Gameboy in those days, and I would often lie on the living room floor and play it on silent while my family watched TV. Once a month or so, I put in Mission: Impossible and just went nuts. Watching him go berserk with no one to aim it at was one of the most satisfying experiences of my childhood. I was never caught.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
