8 panel comic
Panel 1: Yellow guy is working on a laptop in the background. In the foreground is a Brand Manager. Yellow Guy: “Sir, shall I put up our rainbow profile picture?”
Panel 2: Brand Manger snaps his head round and hisses “Cool your jets, Eugene. I’m checking the Profitometer”
Panel 3: Gonna do my best to explain this. We see The Profitometer. A huge machine that whirs and ticks. A digital display at the top of the machine reads “Supporting Pride equals”Beneath this display is a huge gauge with “Max Loss” on the left and “Max profit” on the right. There is a needle that is pointing exactly half way between the two extremes.
Panel 4: Close up on Brand Manager’s face. His teeth are gritted. Sweat trickles down his brow.
Panel 5: Close up on gauge. The needle remains exactly central
Panel 6: Close up on Brand Manager’s eyes. They are concentrating intensely. Also, more sweat.
Panel 7: Close up on the gauge. The needle clicks ONE DEGREE towards profit
Panel 8: Brand Manager screams like a football coach “GO GAY EUGENE”

Scan of a book or magazine article, showing a woman with three children around her, all looking at an early-2000s laptop. "Things you read on a blog might make you angry. They might upset you. Stop visiting that blog. Don't waste your time posting comments. Move on and find a new blog. There are so many fun blogs on the Internet. You'll easily find a better one." Below that in smaller letters, "There is always another fun new blog to read online."

-25 lbs. today

Hi mltshp!
I'm 6'4" and was edging into 220lb territory at my last physical. But I wasn't worried about that at the time.
What got me to lose weight was the nagging fact that my parents and their parents and so on, although exceedingly nice and amusing could often just be completely full of shit.
So when my cholesterol test came back alarmingly high, again, I immediately told my new doctor that it was genetic... before it FINALLY dawned on me that there is no way in hell any of my relatives actually tried to lower their cholesterol by changing their diet - that's not what a family of bullshitting butchers does. But what they did tell me, was that high cholesterol was a genetic problem I could do nothing about.
So the weight loss is really a byproduct that I'm exceedingly psyched about. I mean, I need pants! Pants!
The actual win is that I totally called it. It'll be a while before I'm totally in the safe zone, but my stats are dropping :)
If you are interested in my diet, it's been pretty easy. Guilt is a very strong motivator, so I've leaned into it. I basically ask myself if a certain food's cholesterol would make me A) Feel guilty. B) Not feel guilty or C) Fuck it. I'm eating this entire pizza now. ... And then I eat accordingly.

@heyitsal Well done! I am on a very similar journey.
My goal is to avoid prescriptions and mrs roonie kick-started me by pressuring me to stop drinking. And I'm glad she did.
I've lost 20 pounds (in your funny numbers!), from 185ish to 165, from Christmas last. I'm 6ft almost on the button so starting with a smaller frame.
I feel so much better - being both sober and lighter.
Pants have become an issue!
And the Guilt Motivator is definitely a thing!
Woo-hoo! Now I want a pizza, all of it.

Wow, congrats man, that's amazing! I feel inspired.
High f'in' high five, Al! Your level of stoke is just awesome! Here's to the future and longevity.

Nice! I would definitely like to try and use it.

Savoring every moment

A close up selfie shot of small 16-year-old Macy the Cavapoo and me in the grass in the front yard. Some dramatic clouds shine in the background
She’s still with us, but Macy only has about a week, MAYbe two left on this earth. My wife and I have been weepy and doing our best not to have a breakdown multiple times a day as it’s gone from “she’s 16 and her kidneys are failing and she doesn’t hear or see so well and her spinal bridging is starting to cause neurological symptoms so she isn’t going to live a LOT longer, to “sometimes she can’t get up on her own and sometimes we have to hold her up to poop and we can’t leave the house without her because she’ll tip over and panic so the end may be sooner than we hoped,” to “it’s time to schedule the end,” as the last few days the pain meds and kidney meds are clearly less effective and even walking is a struggle for her and she only sleeps a couple hours at a time.
So, since our furry family member’s rainbow bridge moment will make it hard for us to function for a bit, I’m doing my best to savor every last minute with her, and posting this selfie of us in the front yard just now.
Love y’all, MLTSHPers. ❤️

💙 Give Macy extra scritches for us. Thank you for taking care of her.

peppers

three stuffed red bell peppers with shredded cheese on top, surrounded by various foods and other countertop kitchen items, about to go in the oven
I’ve been missing beef since it started getting so expensive, but I got three nice little stuffed peppers out of some leftover rice and a single Trader Joe’s hamburger patty last night. Felt like a win!
I was looking for some of those can covers the other day, and two people at the grocery store knew what I was talking about, but didn't think they stocked any. We finally found them in the pet food aisle. Mine have a picture of a very happy doggo embossed on the lid!
@Xedrik I got these ones to go on ceramic yogurt containers, but they seem to work on small cans as well.
It may be that storing food in opened metal cans is meant to be discouraged and that's why they're hard to find in people-food locations, but I guess I just choose to live dangerously. 🥫

Tues/Wed is my weekend and I come back to Waltham. One of the best parts about being home is going for walks by the river. Last night was stunning.

Chart showing population in Australia is clustered heavily in urban areas

Seeing Tasmania down under, the land down under evoked a memory. In 4th grade ~1959, I raised my hand in class and told my teacher, Mrs. Timmins, "It isn't pronounced Tahz-mah-nah, It is pronounced Tasmania." That didn't go well for me. She continued to teach untruth.

^ Pictured above: Billionaire Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel went to Coachella with his supermodel wife, and then two days later laid off over 1,000 employees. I was one of them. So was my entire team of about 40 people.
We were the Bitmoji team at Snapchat, and except for a few people in LA, our team was completely eliminated. Acquired by Snapchat, Bitmoji remained, at least in spirit, a somewhat semi-autonomous republic within the larger company. But eventually the Bitmoji founders departed or were ousted, along with some long-time artists, and the corporate tech tentacles slowly creeped in to smother what was once a quirky creative team. I joined part way through the process, so I got to taste that fun/creative culture, but also witness its decline.
Honestly, we were all there by accident - artists, animators, and illustrators hiding in the corner of a Tech Company, quietly shocked at the generous salaries and benefits (and free lunches) we received, a contrast to the poor-paying studios and freelance illustration gigs that had come before.
The 5 years I spent there were amazing and horrible. Amazing because (1) Big Tech Salary, and (2) I got to work with some of the most fun, creative and intelligent people. No dead wood on this team. It was also horrible, because ultimately I was just making digital crap to keep users' eyes glued to an app and its advertisers. The pressure to perform and scale production was really high. I lost sleep and gained weight, and got to suffer from anxiety for the first time.
And now suddenly it's done. We're all out. Ostensibly "because AI", despite the fact that we barely used any AI in our creative pipelines, and only for non-creative tasks. I didn't lose my job because of AI, I lost it because of the *idea* that AI could do it all. And of course because Snap's stagnating stock price needed a boost.
It's honestly a relief. I've spent the last month relaxing and decompressing; I had accumulated a month's worth of unused vacation anyway. I'll eventually try to figure out what's next, but for now I have a generous severance to give me some breathing room. I'm free now, as are my fellow artists. I'm happy they can go use their creative gifts for things that are hopefully more meaningful to our society and culture.
thanks for reading my brain dump mltshp friends. That concludes my ted talk.

Onward and upward!
When I left my job at JP Morgan the sudden drop of cortisol in my system turned into losing ~10lbs in as many days.
Hopefully the break is refreshing and fulfilling and leads quickly and easily into the next project which is hopefully more fun and fulfilling than the last! Lachaim!
