Yeah, I’ll get right on that next document asap…oooo, shiny…
I swiped this from a Reddit comment, and I’m totally tempted to make it my next business card because it so fucking accurately describes me:
“freelancing dilettante with ADHD”
Secret stash objects
I totally want the bookshelf with the hidden side panel, the hidden drawer table and the paper-pile thingy. You could totally disappear most of my life’s valuables in a the piles of paper on my desk.

Not again!
“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” ~ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Looks like we found the question. And yes, it now makes even less sense than ever.
Clean all the things!
Holy crap this comic is scarily accurate. *goes looking for those surveillance cameras*

What color is god’s hat?
There is a story about a god who grew tired over the squabbling of the people over who was right and who was wrong regarding religion. So he made himself a hat that was blue on one side and red on the other. Once it was made, he appeared in all of his god-like glory the middle of the road between two nearby villages with one side of his hat facing one village, and the other side facing the other village. Soon the market where the villagers met was abuzz with the news of the god’s visit – until they started arguing over what color the hat was. Since each had seen the hat with their own eyes, none would give ground. Before long, each village was building walls and arming themselves to fight the “unbelievers” who stubbornly insisted on spreading false gospel and lies.
At this point, the god reappeared in the road, only facing the other direction. Soon, the villagers were meeting in the market to confess how they’d been wrong about what they’d seen…until they once again found themselves in disagreement.
Just before total war could erupt, the god reappeared on the road for a third time. This time he walked down the road in one direction, then turned around and walked back again in the other direction. Once the villagers saw what the god had done, they were humbled. Then they held a celebration of reconciliation with their neighbors, and laughed about how silly the whole episode had been.
At this celebration, who should appear but the god himself. “I am a god. I care not who fights who or who dies. But while you are fighting, your crops are withering in the field, your children are going hungry and without an education, your flocks are wandering astray, your culture is dying, your coffers are being drained and your treasures are being pillaged in violence and anger. And for what it’s worth, I have an infinite number of hats, each one a different color – and some with many different colors at once. Think on that before you fight again.”
That was when the villagers truly realized the wisdom of their god and vowed never to let such things come between them again.
So, what color is your god’s hat? And are you sure?

Morality vs Religion
Quote from a FB conversation on gays vs. the Bible:
“I believe in morality, which is doing right regardless of what I’m told…not religion, which is doing what I’m told regardless of what is right.”
Amen, sister.
The collapse of capitalism? Or the beginning of something new..
Just finished watching Capitalism Hits The Fan, a lecture by economist Richard Wolff on what just happened to the economy, why it happened and why the way we’re trying to fix it isn’t going to work.
I have to say, I find his argument for democratizing the workforce compelling and inspiring, even if it is a bit bleak to hear the truth stripped bare of hand-waving obfuscatory rhetoric. Start here with Part 1 (of 7) YouTube videos.
