Blibbles - The Dragon of Minneapolis

I think they only compare it to Animal Crossing because they never played Dragon Quest Builders and it shows.

That game was SO COOL.

A post from Mike LaPorte, a head of talent acquisition on LinkedIn: "I owe job seekers an apology. Not for anything I did intentionally. But for what the industry I've spent my career in has normalized. We normalized ghosting candidates after interviews. Just never responding. Like the 3 hours they spent preparing and the PTO they burned to come in didn't matter. We normalized job descriptions that are 40% aspirational fiction. Listing 15 "required" qualifications when we'd happily hire someone with 8 of them. We normalized 6 round interview processes for mid level roles. Panel interviews where half the people in the room haven't read the resume. We normalized asking candidates to show all their cards, current comp, competing offers, career goals, while giving them almost nothing in return. We normalized treating candidates like a pipeline metric instead of people making one of the most consequential decisions of their lives. I'm not saying every recruiter does this. I know a lot of great ones who fight these patterns every day. But as an industry we've built a system that asks candidates to invest enormous time, energy, and emotional labor into a process that gives them almost nothing back unless they get the offer. That's broken. And a lot of it has nothing to do with technology. It's choices we stopped questioning. But I do think we can build better systems and smarter tools to start fixing it. What would you change first? Genuinely asking."

Then let us begin normalizing the acknowledgment and understanding of this grim reality so many have found themselves ensnared in. A large number simply don't know because they're not currently affected by it. The existence of this post alone is a wonderful beginning move.

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.

Leave us the fuck alone.

I should have told him...

I saw a guy at the gym today with a Luffy shirt. I'm glad he has a great role model.

Homeland Security @DHSgov Democrats must end this DHS shutdown NOW.

it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party

Aren't they just... So good? <3

BlibblesTV - Twitch [ART] I took some me time, but now I'm ready to try and open my heart to love... and art... ... again... hi

Oh hi everyone! I'm live on twitch, drawin' some stuff!

The fact that you called anyway knowing you were going to be refused means you still took my message seriously. If I could do this with everyone who interacted with me on some form, we'd be feeling so much more relief together.

However, this isn't an effort of just one person shouldering the burden... We're all in this together. We're all suffering and we need to lean on each other. So we inundate these politicians... Together.

Again, thank you for doing your part.

I think what they're feeling is a collective fear of losing everything, and they feel so alone as queer folk often do. Rightfully so, this is a scary time where we're constantly being cornered.

I'm not saying what they're doing is right, but I understand where they're coming from.

You're absolutely not useless. This you did the right thing. Even if they didn't listen to you, they know that if they're being shouted at enough, they'll back down. We've won this before. You have the rage in your heart.

Thank you for calling, seriously.

It's really nice outside today. Go for a walk.

There's a cool video on them, but I'll admit, a lot of it goes RIGHT over my head. I don't have a programming minded brain.

It's precisely about this. Rage is the exact thing you should be feeling.

All these who voted "yes" you have a chance to either contact them to try to convince them that these laws don't work or also vote against them so they don't get re elected

The fight is so neck and neck that a few reps could make a difference

The Medicine Seller of Li is so good.

Oregon residents: Cliff Bentz is an asshole and actively trying to hurt the state. He voted yes on this.

He also voted to take away gender affirming care to kids. And to take away Healthcare in general.

Please make his life hard by calling him and telling him he sucks.

As it was once said, "We all make choices, but that was a choice."

Thank you for explaining things coherently to people in my post in a way I could not.

I'm filled with fury, and my explanations are less than stellar.

Good bye, I hope you can live with your apathy.

You seem to be feeling very guilty if you're replying like this hours later.

Did you make your calls?

You can still think that and still take action. At worst, they don't listen. But at best they do and they're swayed.

But no action is the same as letting them hurt you. Whatever the case, you must act in a way that impedes them.

It's not useless. Yes, reps are evil, but even they know when the collective threatens them it makes them scared and it does work. We've seen this countless times.

This is a fatalistic (yes fatalistic) view. You can't hope to change anyone's mind by yourself. We are a people, not singular.

Nothing is to be gained by simply letting someone hurt you.

Yumeko Jabami, from Kakegurui, said to Nanami that simply enduring a bad situation is certainly one way of dealing with something, but not something she understands.

If we cower when our leash is off, then that's what politicians want.

That's what politicians want you to think. When they know someone is resigned to their fate, they know how much easier it is to get people to support something.

At worst, you said your piece and they're still going to do it. At best, they listen and you've made your point.

I'm not going to claim to know how to deal with all of this. I myself am not a politician. But, things go south, we protest. We have to, we need to.

We band together, we talk to each other as much as we can. We pool information. We do not let legislation divide us, which is what these bills do.
