Updates and scams

I’ve updated my About and Writing I’ve Done for Work pages with my resume. Hire me! I also added a link to my Bluesky account.

My nerves have settled down somewhat, and I’m able to use my brain somewhat creatively again.

I’ve experienced two copywriting courses on Alison, one of which was so laden in typos I’m not sure I want to ever return to Alison, even though this free learning platform was pushed on me by the state’s workforce contractor. When I tried to register a complaint about the course, the platform glitched out! Smells scammy.

Speaking of something scammy that smells, the president-elect is stocking his cabinet with a rogue’s gallery, a Legion of Doom, and he’s trying to get carte blanche to stock his cabinet without the traditional “advise and consent” role of the Senate, through recess appointments. If they allow this, that legislative body will be no better than the Duma, which rubberstamps whatever Russian President Vladimir Putin wants. An anti-vaxxer heading the Department of Health and Human Services. An alleged rapist as AG to match the rapist president-elect. It helps to have low morality in this incoming administration, I guess. I haven’t really been able to keep up as much as I haven’t wanted to. It’s probably good that I’m not constantly having the madness of it in my face, but I do pay attention in small bites. It’s a farce. Are these caricatures actually going to be the people in charge of the federal government of the largest economy and military on Earth? Is he actually going to escape all consequences for his 34 felonies and all the other legal woes he’s facing? Will we still have a functioning federal government after another four years of Trump? It’s too outrageous even for The Onion, which is doing hero’s work by buying Infowars.
