“Your room is a mess.”
“You may call it a mess, but I call it-”
“Organized chaos?”
“No, I call it my mess that has nothing to do with you, so let me live how I please.”
I have done nothing productive all day, and feel like crap for it.
I finally have a day off, and I should really work on stuff, but I don’t know which blog to work on an update for, which commission to work on, or to just catch up on sleep, games, etc.
yooo, I really apologize for my long absence! There were some real life things that kept me occupied for a longer time than expected and I also kinda lost confidence in my artistic abilities. So I decided it would be better if I’d work on my personal projects, but of course I couldn’t resist drawing some more fusions. You might notice some minor style changes. I used thinner lines and added some more detailed textures, I hope you guys don’t mind!
Gotta love how a celebrity using a racial slur can become a national headline in America, but police killing unarmed black men and women, and responding to protests with violence and excessive force in violation of Constitutional rights of assembly tend to be buried by the media.

Here’s data on the police shootings. Just look what we have!
I really want to emphasize to my American followers that, despite what you may have been told, police shootings are NOT “normal” or “just part of the job”. They are a product of your country’s unique structures of power/militarization and guided by a very particular history of institutionalized racism.
Take a second look at those numbers and it gets worse. Japan hasn’t had a police homicide in six years. The US has had that many since the Ferguson riots started a few months back. I fear to see how many since the start of the year.

At work we sell boxes of 5 dozen eggs for $8.48. Today someone asked me who would ever eat 5 dozen eggs, and I couldn’t resist.
Yet another reason why I hate my job: My manager left for a different store, and rather than look for a replacement management is pushing me into taking the job when I have told them repeatedly that I have no intention of doing so. Despite saying almost daily that I will not take the position, I’m still asked on a regular basis.
They have known the manager was going to leave for nearly a month, and yet there has been ‘maybe one interview scheduled’ (according to the assistant store director) for the job because they won’t stop harassing me about taking it.
The job in question would double my hours, triple my workload, and would come with a raise, but in moving from wage to salary I would only make around 1.5 times what I make now. Because I’ve refused the job repeatedly, I still get all of the responsibilities, tasks, and work of the management position, without any raise and if I go over 40 hours I can and will be written up.
I have worked at this store for 6.5 years. I make only $8.90/hr despite some of the best reviews in the store, and the company. Behold, retail practices of 'Murica.
Shortly after the Ferguson shooting, The Economist reported that police in England and Wales fired their weapons a total of four times during the past two years. Four times —meaning in two years they discharged fewer bullets policing 57 million people than were discharged into Michael Brown’s body on one afternoon.
Let that sink in nice and slowly.
