[nihilistikal]

So today in the team meeting our boss wasn't there because he's sick and no one knew what to do so I took charge and took care of stuff that needed quick organizing??? And spoke loudly and clearly and even made some jokes?????? Maybe this whole work I've done on myself in silence is starting to pay off in self-esteem????????

Move update

So we've secured a new rental as of this morning we just got to negotiate the move in date now.

It's smaller but cleaner and the appliances work. We got to meet one of the neighbors and she's super sweet. The new house isn't too far away we just need to worry about downsizing and putting stuff in storage for now.

Hopefully we'll have a lot more luck here than we did with the last two places

Chicago's police force has declined by 19% since Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) took office in May 2019 and, despite the drastic drop in numbers, Lighftoot maintains The Windy City is keeping its people safe with more police.

"Everyone in our city deserves to be safe because they are safe," she said Thursday. 

"What have we done? We've worked on making sure that we take more handguns and illegal guns off the street. We've worked on making sure that we provide more police, particularly in areas of the city that are suffering most," she added.

ILLINOIS SEES STAGGERING DROP IN PARAMEDIC FORCE, DRIVEN BY ‘BURNOUT’ AND VIOLENCE AGAINST FIRST RESPONDERS Retired Chicago police Lieutenant John Garrido fired back at Lightfoot's claims on "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday, saying, "She's right that we all deserve to be safe, but the problem is that we're not safe because of her failed administration."

Fox News' Ashley Strohmier pivoted off one of Garrido's statements about beat officers, asking how Lightfoot possibly got her numbers and how the shortage is affecting beat cops' ability to respond to 911 calls.

"Beat officers are the backbone of the department. Those are the officers that are handling the 911 calls, they're the ones that are doing the street stops, they're in uniforms in the marked squad cars and they're basically the visible deterrent out there," Garrido said.

"She uses smoke and mirrors basically," he continued "What you're not seeing there is the number of officers that are detailed out of these units that are actually in units like her protection detail. She actually has over 110 officers now in her protection detail when these districts are starved for manpower…"

He told Strohmier that the shortage has rendered some patrol cars empty while others are only manned by one officer, adding that the city is running on a "skeleton crew."

"It's unsafe for the officers, and it's also unsafe for the citizens of the community," he said.

Lightfoot vies for re-election on February 28 when she will face off against a slew of other candidates challenging her bid for a second term.

Garrido said he hopes Lightfoot doesn't reach the runoff and that the citizens of Chicago will "send her packing" after the election.

In Princess Aster's world, bunnybirds live in contented isolation, keeping themselves detached from the world in order to practice magic. Nothing is ever wrong, and no one is ever angry...even as Aster's people seem to be slowly disappearing. When her father is next to vanish, Aster resolves to find and rescue the missing bunnybirds—even if it means journeying over the rim of the world itself!

My middle grade graphic novel is officially available for preorder! Bunnybirds is a story about trauma, friendship, and my experience with autistic masking. It was drawn entirely with Prismacolor colored pencils and Pandafly markers, with Photoshop applied for color enhancement and text.

Check it out maybe! :D

That last panel with Carlin (the brown bunnybird) facing the corner was directly inspired by this wonderful TMA comic by @nubs-mbee!

[mobius-m-mobius]

I can rewrite the story.

evil old men, anyone?

[novelconcepts]

If this new story goes over well, there will likely be two bonus chapters (one expansion, one epilogue) on its heels. And if this new story doesn't go well--frankly, I'll probably still write them, because I can't control my own keyboard machinations.
