Criminal Minds just gave me the only response I will ever need as an American to any political question.

"Don't much like being shot at, Rossi."

Still haven't told Joe how I keep coming up with the funds I need without his help. I mentioned reading cards once like 5 years ago in a brainstorm session, his reaction wasn't friendly. I'll wait until I can see his face. :)

Every tarot post you see is more than me finding humor in the potential use of one of my best skill sets to provide for myself as someone who can not stand all day for work, nor can I face the public without concerning spasms that could freak out customers in a traditional setting. But I don't want to scam people. If you see a thing you have feedback for, yes I would like help navigating these issues. All jokes aside. Serious criticism is even welcomed in my DMs.

Sneaking up behind cats and lightly touching the fuckers with their super senses and making them jump in surprise is THE BEST.

Hey, there's this American thing where if you use your degree in a social work way for a decade you can apply to have your loans forgiven, since America is so fucked anyway, you think they might let me have that for reading tarot cards if I weave in empirical data based shit and refer to local agencies?

I could make an annotated resource list for tarot card querants and be like, "The spirits tell me to direct you to...."

Maybe if I put "con artist" on my business cards and sign they won't view me as seriously. I'm no longer concerned with the ethics of reading professionally, these people need advice. But it would be so nice to know I have the freedom to let go creatively and throw myself into an over the top performance.

First of all, it looks like doing tarot card readings for neighbors in a trailer park means I will be paid in beer and weed, so cool. Second of all, it is very difficult to explain psychological readings to people, and everything goes more easily if I accept they will take my words as prophecy no matter how hard I fight that. Third of all, they are accepting common sense solutions such as "How are you putting yourself out there?" as a proper reading. So, it's like teaching life skills.

The many faces of Bob the Skull.
