My new laptop is RAD AS gently caress and I'm so happy rn. The only thing I am moderately worried about in my life is that the one moderately big money (by standards of advocacy work payment, mind, not by any other metric) contract that I have is, if my math is right, down to two paydays left and I feel like a piece of poo poo for saying this but I want to get paid for my work and it doesn't happen nearly often enough and in a lot of ways this contract (it's two years total) has been really really good for me and has sort of indirectly subsidized a lot of other volunteer work that I do and I'm kinda scared that I won't make money anywhere near the level I have been when it's over and it makes me really scared because I signed a (non-exclusive) contract with a particular consulting group probably three years ago with the thought being they'd find work and bring me along but one of the partners just left and the other just had her second kid and I'm kinda like gently caress am I about to lose this work connection or what

I'm actually really scared professionally now that I type it all out like that. Everything else is pretty great though!

You're not a piece of poo poo for wanting to get paid for your work, even if it's advocacy or activism. I'm sure you'd do it for free all the time if that was a legitimate option, but unfortunately in this capitalist hellscape, you gotta get paid to live, and you shouldn't beat yourself up for that! Volunteering at all puts you way ahead of a ton of people. You're a great person!

Separate topic: I saw 1917 yesterday in a real IMAX and that's an amazing, fantastic, horrifying movie that needs to be seen in a theater if possible, and I'll likely never, ever watch it again.

joe shishido died today and he was in yakuza movies i liked v much. he also got plastic surgery to make his cheeks poofy for some reason

Branded to Kill is probably his best known one and is also a deranged movie for moral lepers. it is great. he was also in a few of the Battles Without Honor and Humanity movies as well as the excellently titled A Colt is my Passport and Cruel Gun Story, pictured here.


rip to a real one watch his movies to be cool like me

Matt Besser doing an impression of Bjork in Comedy Bang Bang like five years ago made me laugh harder than almost anything else that year. That’s what I know about Bjork.

Terry Jones was apparently one of the loveliest men who ever lived, in addition to being incredibly smart and funny. That the last couple years of his life were plagued by dementia is just too cruel.

There is a wonderful story about when they made the Meaning of Life, which he directed. He put together the "Every Sperm is Sacred" opening piece of the film, and it is incredible. Once it was done he admitted to the rest of the cast that... uhh.... he'd gotten a little carried away and spent the entire film's budget on that one segment :allears:

That 70s Sci Fi Collection is so loving cool. If I had the attention span to sit down and pay attention to an old movie I would have marathoned the whole thing already.
