This is how it is: Trump gets sworn in January 20th. We’ve still got 2.5-ish months under the Obama Administration. Between now and then there’s the chance to make a media circus out of Donald Trump’s upcoming sexual assault trial, creating more friction between him and his party, giving us at least a little breathing room in congress. He’s appointing three new judges this term, so checks and balances (which weren’t really adjusted well for a two-party system) won’t be in good working condition for the Democrats (which counts third-party and non-voters and basically any minority because welcome to reality).

So first thing: fight for that media circus. House reps will do ANYTHING for reelection. Friction within the party will force them to pick sides.

Second thing: VOTE IN 2018. Mid-term elections are a thing. ALL 435 SEATS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE CONTESTED. Go out and VOTE. We can win back the house. That’s one victory we sorely need. 33/100 SEATS OF SENATE WILL BE CONTESTED. We can win that back, too. 38 GOVERNORSHIPS WILL BE CONTESTED. If your county’s red, time to turn that around. VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018.

The clock is ticking guys.

I have walked by this restaurant every week for like two years now and I think @reserve has forever ruined what is probably a very nice normal pub.

Beetles compromise 25% of all animal species. That means 1 in 4 animals is probably a beetle. Is it you? Is it your best friend? How can you be sure?

Ringo could be living in your backyard without you even knowing

ok, i have, by a rough estimate, reached out to 15 different ppl to figure out where i go from here. my goals are: a better paying job and more experience working in the field and/or volunteering at the uni (and/or possibly the museum). both, ideally. over the next year.

we’ll see what shakes out.

i may have to start a whole new blog because tumblr just tried to confirm this account with a very very dead e-mail address. just a heads up.

ok so i’m physically and emotionally drained

gonna go sleep

it’s been a DAY

The entire island of Puerto Rico is again without electricity – the second widespread power failure in a week, and seven months after the U.S. commonwealth was devastated by Hurricane Maria.

And the White House continues to shrug.

i was sad but mostly i’m just angry

this is LITERALLY my villain origin story except my revenge plan mostly involves begging and/or blagging my way into as many arch-related jobs as i can physically manage.

they may not have let me into the course but they can’t STOP ME FROM LITERALLY DOING ARCHAEOLOGY.

I HAVE e-mailed two professors and one admissions person re: What Do I Need To Do To Get Into (Any) Course Next Year. AND a grad student.

That’s the plan. And maybe chat up some of my museum friends. I wonder what the wages are like at the museum...

the evil voice in my head is saying “you’re a stupid piece of shit for even expecting to get on to the course, be honest with yourself.”

luckily an even eviler voice is saying “well this looks like a whole year to rack up savings and also do field work and as much volunteering and networking as you can stomach, so that when you apply again they HAVE TO FUCKING TAKE YOU because fuck them anyways.”

hiatus(?)

state of the fucking blogger:

i’m pretty sure my mentor has been fired

no one will talk about it but i’m pretty sure

yeah, he’s gone. he’s not coming back. i have no idea why

i was super infatuated with him so that’s upsetting

he was also a good friend and i haven’t heard from him in months

my brain is a bag of fucking cats because of my meds

my paycheck came to a grand total of 480 pounds this month!

i just got rejected from my university course

work cut another 6 hours this week

i can’t make rent

again

and my race number for my fucking half marathon hasn’t come through

not that i can afford to make it to the race day

my family is sending me money which solves two (2) of my problems

i can now search for a new job (hey, no university to worry about!) which solves another problem

all in all i’m still going to try to take a breather from the internet. otoh i may need to spend the next week looking at stupid cat photos, who knows. we’ll see.

Brenda, domestic longhair: Brenda has been with us for three weeks now, and I can’t stop looking at her ears.

Muffles (female, American Bombay, seven years old)

Muffles is an older cat with an affectionate personality and the tiniest of meows. Will yours be her forever home? Muffles is ready to move into your vivid waking dream where you levitate through an old zoo full of faceless guests, and she likes natural light.

Duke (male, spotted tabby, twelve months old)

Duke’s favorite food is eel, which is also my favorite food. In the nineteen-sixties, I loved two women differently. Come meet Duke at our weekend adoption event!

Kathy (female, calico, nine months old)

Kathy was a little shy when she first arrived at the shelter, but now she feels right at home. She came to us from the bottom of a well on a moonless night. Her previous owner was the personification of Macallan Scotch whisky. I took three trains across Shibuya Ward to eat a plain dish alone and, instead of going home, I followed the wordless Macallan man to Kathy. Proof of an in-home well or similar void required for adoption.

Doctor Hirofumi Tanaka (male, tuxedo shorthair, seven months old)

Doctor Hirofumi Tanaka is my wife’s secret lover, trapped in a cat. (Still litter-box training.)
