#even machines need to rest

[onedelicateskeleton]

I work with Coordinate Measuring Machines on a second shift schedule. One, who is the "old lady" of the bunch, crashes fairly regularly. Ninety five percent of the time, the solution is to turn her off and let her rest. The first shift operator and first shift manager have regular tantrums about this.

They want us to submit a help request the minute the machine crashes so it doesn't have to spend any time turned off. The help requests are answered on first shift. Instead of turning her off, which is what the person sent to help will do, they want to leave her on but not running and wait hours for someone else to come turn her off.

Second shift management agrees that there's no reason to submit the request unless she isn't up and running again at the end of our shift. There's no rule saying we need to submit the request. Turning the machines off and on again is routine maintenance. The first shifters just hate the idea of even a non-functional machine being turned off and allowed the rest she needs.

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

I'm actually kind of mad after wearing a knee brace (with patella support!) for 2 days because I just went down for breakfast not wearing it and my kneecap was wobbling loosely in its socket like it's done for years and I could FEEL how wrong it was and just had the biggest "you LIVE like this??!" moment and now i GUESS I am wearing a knee brace every time I go near stairs forever because it turns out it's not ideal if parts of your body have their own plans for every joint movement.

i think procrastinating my work and playing video games for six and a half hours might have fixed me unironically

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice

just popped out an unhinged (NO breaks in the paragraph) rant about horror and dust and their similarities and how i think they would relate to eachother. and now instead of putting breaks in the paragraphs im worrying about if this is more of a character analysis than a rant,,,,,,,,,, that rant was really really long. and also far too rambly. i could probably slice off the first paragraph and it would be coherent. but i wont since im lazy and also that would show my undevotion to the mtt!!!! why would i ever DARE unput my thoughts about them into the world TRIGLYCERCULE YOU FOOL😡😡😡😡😡😡

also i noticed that the less i interact with canon material the more in depth i get with ideas??? like i only skimmed horrortale like twice this month (and 1 was only to get a reference for my art class) and i havent read through askdusttale in like. since summer break. and i ALSO have not read the something new comics and any sort of killer sans canon material thing in months. erm,,,,,,,,,,,

at what point does it become me talking about canon and me talking about my fanon interpretations of canon. whats the difference. what if someone is so incredibly correct with what theyre saying about a character but it never happened in canon. does that make it canon. no right??? because the only true universal and objective canon is from the creator themselves. but what if its SO perfectly perfect in canon,,,,,,, that it should be considered canon,,,,, but it ISNT. canon and fanon always makes me so confused because at what point does the line between the two blur. what about headcanons that are so widely accepted and loved but go against canon and should really be canon. what IS canon what IS fanon??? why are so many people obsessed with canon???? because they like this one thing so much and its SO peak that it doesn't deserve to be tainted by other interpretations that make it worse??? BUT YOUR INTERPRETATION IS ONE OF THOSE!!!!! help

Kelly Carlin, daughter of the late and all time great George Carlin, shared this statement regarding an AI-generated special imitating him:

She's right. Part of the beauty of humanity and its creations is that it is ephemeral. Death enhances our lives, not detracts for it. AI making a ghoulish reanimation of the dead should strike you with such horror that you understand why necromancy is banned by man and God.

Rage. In my heart. All-consuming. FUCK AI.

I am trying to write a post and yet nothing is coming  to me. I don't think there is anything left to be said. Massacres-food shortages-polio epidemic of Gaza, I have talked about it all in an effort to fundraise for my friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ). Mostly because this is what his life has come to, despite not having any say in it at all. A settler colony willed to destroy Gaza and because of that for almost a year, Siraj and his family are: 

having to live in a tent, where there is no relief from either heat, cold or rain

where sand mites and insects keep pestering  the family all day long

causing a breakout of infections amongst Siraj’s sons, and putting the rest of their cousins at risk 

since right now all of Siraj’s extended relatives ( 23 family members)  are currently living with him after being displaced in an IOF attack

I have talked about this and more. I have talked about how every day Siraj has to take risks and go to Deir al-Balah just to get a steady hotspot connection so that he may campaign for his fundraiser and how after all this he gets harassed online because he is a journalist who gives us his daily updates. Beyond this I do not know what else to say to you so that you may donate to Siraj and help him cross this last lap of his fundraiser.

Recently Siraj posted an update about the  massacre at al-Mawasi camp and it hits you hard when you realize that this camp is just 2 km away from Siraj’s own. Everyday when he sends me a message, I breathe a sigh of relief because after all these months- from our first tentative hellos to now when we crack jokes after a machine translated chat goes wrong, there is always a fear that maybe this might just be our last interaction. I know these thoughts have nothing to do with the fundraiser in itself, but my point is, as a  friend, Siraj has requested that I help him reach 82k and right now this is all I can do. So please donate even if it is $3 USD ( $5 CAD). The fundraiser has trickled to almost a crawl and this makes Siraj worry. At least the gfm reaching its goal would be one less burden on him. He has fought so hard for this, please do not let him down now. 

Currently at $78,248 / $82,000 CAD. Only $3752 CAD left to reach his goal. That is approximately 2.7k USD.

Please donate and get Siraj to his goal by this Monday. You got him this far, do not abandon him now.
