I am the journeyer from the valley of the dead Sega consoles. With the blessings of Sega Saturn, the gaming system of destruction, I am the Scout of Silence… Sailor Saturn.

  • Crypto bros continue to be morally bankrupt. There is an a coin / NFT called ā€œGreenDildoCoinā€ and they’ve thrown dildos onto court at multiple WNBA basketball games (ESPN, video). It warms my heart that one of them was arrested. More of that please.

    Polymarket even had a ā€œpredictionā€ on it. Because surely the outcome there couldn’t be influenced by someone who also placed a large bet. Oh and Donald Trump Jr. posted a meme about it

    None of this is particularly surprising if you’ve followed NFTs at all: the clout chasing goes to the extreme. In the limit memecoins can act as donations to terrible people from donors who want them to be terrible. Still I hate how much publicity this has gotten, and how this has manifested as gross disrespect towards women atheletes / women’s sports by the sorts of losers who make ā€œjokesā€ about no one watching WNBA games.


  • Amazon should treat drivers better. I hate how much ā€œhustleā€ is required for that sort of job and how poorly they respect their workers.

    I think my job needs me too much to lay me off, which I have mixed feelings about despite the slim-pickings for jobs.

    I’m also trying to position myself to potentially have to flee the USA* due to transgender persecution**. There’s still a lot of unknowns there. I’ll probably stay at my job for awhile while I work on setting some stuff up for the future.

    That said part of me is tempted to reskill into a career that’d work well internationally (nursing?) – I’m getting a little up in years for that but it’d probably be a lot more fulfilling than what I’m doing now.

    * My previous attempt did not work out. I rushed things too much and ended up too stressed out and unbelievably homesick.

    ** This has been getting incredibly stressful lately.
