ok I just need there to be like a week between today and tomorrow

photo of two financier pastries on a white plate

if you weren't supposed to invest in them then why are they named financiers

well for starters everything costs a million quid and goes up constantly, dunno if you wanna jot this down or what

you know, that crazy communist far left cloud cuckoo land of austria

Austria Extends Home Rent Controls to Private Contracts Austria is extending a limit on home-rental-fee increases to the free market in its latest measure aimed at improving affordability and tempering price pressures.

British landlords claiming that the Renters Rights Bill removing their unlimited right to kick people out of their homes is tantamount to the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Meanwhile, Austria has just enacted nationwide rent controls, mandating real-terms rent decreases, and min 5 yr tenancies.

I understand now why cats make that noise when they're squaring up to each other. that's exactly the sound I feel like doing every time anyone at work says or does anything

noted womens' magazine audience, yer da made of ham

listen the time of year clearly states I should be slowly mending holes in jumpers and making soup. if you're expecting me to do other things that is clearly unreasonable and contravenes seasonal imperatives ok

you know how in your teens or as a young adult at uni it's not unusual to have a friend or friends who you do everything with/ see most days/ do everyday life admin together. I feel like I would get infinity more things done if that continued into later life, it's basically accidental body doubling

get some of the cheapo brands you've never heard of ones imo they're much better, and I quite like layering them up rather than having immediate opacity, it gives you a range of options for effects that you don't get with a solid colour

what's the art supplies using equivalent of mouthfeel? handfeel? it has bad handfeel

unfinished series of panels mostly plain red acrylic, one with my face with smudged makeup on, another partially complete of a hand reaching for a wine glass with some feet in the background. bits of transferred paint mark the hair and face (although I'm not sure how clearly it's come out in this photograph)

tell you what I do not recommend posca brand acrylic brush pens. they go on erratically, v hard to control the flow, the bristles come apart, it's all blobs and dry patches, it's slightly shiny, and it immediately transfers to facing page pieces. only upside is its nicely opaque, but such a ballache

I get this a lot typing audio dictations at my job.

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and urgent care with long cov¡d complications and has been trying to reach a week or two since their hospital discharge to stay sheltered, food, and meds copay. (They just had another rough couple of days and are lucky to be here.) 450 weekly rate is the cheapest vs the 80 daily rate. 51 would at least cover today due by noon to remain hauzed. Any aid is greatly appreciated, including amplifying. C@sh App & V3nmo: ZayCrescendo P@yPal: Zay88

lol just remembering their illegal refusal to allow time for union rep duties. very funny. wish I could say there were any consequences whatsoever or that it had stopped or something

You dont want a nonce to be a royal well then abolish the whole thing you dont get to suddenly choose this one doesnt count is it your blood thats magic or not

imagine having the kind of job where you get to decide how to use your time and what the best approach to accomplishing x or y is and any pause in outwardly immediately measurable productivity wasn't assumed to be being a time criminal.

I'm stuck somewhere messily in the midpoint of transferring over settings and documents and software permissions or whatever over from my old work laptop to my new one and it's crunching the gears in my brain, but of course no one will just give me the time to do it in one go or even think about it

he can manhandle my stash of invaluable rubies anyday

this country is simultaneously brutally cruel and a complete joke

The Betrayer, by Leech Comforts 10 track album

Happy Halloween!

For the scariest day of the year, I have remastered my first album!

The Betrayer is an album made of horror stories, from rituals, to vampires, to Frankenstein's monster. So come listen to something perfect for today.

Links below, starting with Bandcamp:

"Put the homeless in camps for being poor" is a thoroughly bipartisan project.

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

Tech oligarchs aren't the supermen of the future, they're the czarist aristocracy huddled around Rasputin's seance table.

someone go to sleep for me I'm too tired to

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.
