So I’m slowly coming out of my avoidance pattern for real news. It’s just been too much that’s too bad lately

In the time I have been actively avoiding some news, it seems that things have continued to be absolutely insane out there.

There are Russian troops fighting on Ukrainian soil, against Ukrainians. That’s potentially a very bad thing. Especially since Russia just keeps saying “Oops! Didn’t notice we crossed the border there.. sorry, we were just looking for a bathroom or something…”

Closer to home, threats of violence against her and her family from angry gaming trolls have (again) disrupted the life of a noted critic of sexism in video games and other entertainment. Yep, the best way to prove that you’re misogynist dicks is to totally behave like misogynist dicks.

But, there’s also a super happy porcupine… and some Marx Brothers… so, check that out, too.

Anyway, my brain’s about to shut down for the night.

Still cranking away on bunches of projects. Not a lot of head space for too much commentary (that hasn’t already been spent in the comments to things in the feed over in Facebookland).

The week is winding down… but really getting tight on more than a few deadlines.

I need more hours in the day or days in the week at this point to really pull everything off the way I’d like to.

As usual.

I’d be happy to blame it on my own lack of proper time management–and I certainly do take responsibility for some of the crazy hustle I’m involved in when it comes to my personal projects–but day job stuff… day job stuff is different.

That’s inefficiency that can only come about by having to deal with bureaucracy.

I hate that.

But, ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right?

And so I do.
