My little garter snake from my childhood had a little pond he seemed to love. I am not a herpetologist in any manner, but I can tell you he swam around that little bowl a lot.

good morning to the beaten and the damned only

I am a glorified office administrator who understands server hardware why am I the only person in this company who gets what social engineering is?

“Social engineering” is a way too fancy word for what it is. I know a guy (not personally) who broke several people out of prison by essentially writing “Greetings, please release this person, signed, whoever the judge is” on a piece of paper and faxing it there. Because no one would have a fax machine in their own house I guess.

not to derail, but holy shit that praxis

I’ve had clerks just give out a whole ass SSN when I asked.

An inspection in 2014 found the password for the Louvre’s surveillance camera system was “louvre.”

*walking into the morgue to find body parts scattered across the floor* oh my god who closed last night

Thinking of gender ratios in various fields and how professions get devalued the second they become "women" jobs + men then stop applying. Because that's horrible but at this rate what's gonna be left for men in their opinion. Independent crypto investor? Looksmaxxer on tiktok?

I think men (and society at large bc it's systemic +a lot of women have internalized misogyny) need to take the L and accept that even jobs like construction worker might get a 50/50 gender ratio one day because fleeing to being nothing or a freelancer or a worker in whatever business field will show its limits very very quickly. No more hypercapitalist job or individualism you're gonna get miserable. You can cut hair. You can be a secretary. You used to love that. You can again. Will it kill you to have female coworkers no will it kill you to have zero income that's more likely

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

important that you never forgive ice agents, ever. even years after all this is over (and I do believe we will make it out on the other side, alive and for the better,) they live in shame and disgrace forever. no excuses, no forgiveness. they ruined their own lives when they decided that human freedom and liberty was an acceptable sacrifice for a paycheck

oh my god. most of life really is about the little things. a good haircut, a nice playlist, trying a new recipe that turns out well, a poem that hits home, a comfortable spot in the sun, spontaneous messages, a pen you enjoy writing with, tea with the right temperature to drink, buying that thing you’ve been eyeing for a while, a warm bed. yeah im so grateful for the small joys
