I am...sort of okay-ish. I got a shit ton of backpay from unemployment, and now I can help the household and not worry about going under for a while.

Before this, I had a lovely person offer to ship me the last of their tea stash that they can't drink for medicle reasons, and because they couldn't get to the post office they bout us three bags of coffee (On basic and two flvored) and some chocolate bars.

I am not okay due to the general state of the country, but these small kindnesses make it at least a smidge more bearable.

Glad you got the backpay.
{{{hugs}}}

[we_are_spc]

Me, too. I was a little worried I wouldn't get it in time, and I'd have to be asking for a bit to cover mah but. Not now. o____o

{{{big fucking hugs}}} ... Sorry, I'm like seriously contact deprived.

I'm glad you got the backpay from unemployment and that person sounds really nice. Hearing about things like this helps restore my faith in humanity a little.

[we_are_spc]

They are. And thery're refreshingly bubbly and bouncy. :d

My son started online summer camp yesterday and it is a hilarious clusterfuck. I'm dubious about the concept of zoom as a social platform for six year olds and with a group of seventeen of them and one counsellor it's pretty much devolving into chaos. He spent most of the day either sulking at the computer or ignoring it.

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

That poor counsellor doesn't have a chance. And Zoom is hardly a good social platform for that many adults, who admittedly may be more squirrel-ly than some six year olds.

Just taking in that someone else whose work I've been a fan of for a couple of decades is turning out to have been a human monster all along. On top of everything else.

[smilingslightly]

Yeah, suspect I'm right there with you. Though I find I can no longer work up any surprise at yet another one: just bitter disappointment, and rage for the victimized.

[we_are_spc]

Dare I ask who?

...

I may dread the answer, but I still want to know.

[ex_flameandsong751]

Same. I wanna know who. (If it's JK Rowling, I already knew that for awhile.)

[dewline]

Warren Ellis. As a side effect of revelations about Cameron Stewart.

[fred_mouse]

Curses. I had not heard about Ellis being a shitstain. I will now go and read and presumably be grumpy. Appreciate you mentioning it all the same.

[ex_flameandsong751]

Ack! Thank you for mentioning it, I'm reading about it now. Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, whyyyyyyyy.

[dewline]

I'm sorry.

[ex_flameandsong751]

Me too, not your fault though, it's better we know these sorts of things.
