  • I worked 3rds for ages. Everything the meme says is true. But aside from health issues that could potentially popup… Folks don’t understand that it’s 4pm and in the middle of your “night”

    I had to remove everyone from my permitted list when my phone was on DnD. My mother, for example, would call at 2pm and ask what I was doing… She never could understand that I was asleep.

    I was always the DD for when people wanted to go out… because “you’re awake normally” which is fine. But maybe I want a beer or two at the bar as well.

    It’s the small things that weigh on you… and if you’re in a relationship… You’ll never see your partner except when they are sliding into the bed and you’re getting up.

    Glad I did it for so long… but I’d never do it again.












  • Deluding yourself into thinking that millennials and zoomers can’t also be just as fascist is 100% copium.

    Oh I’m not suggesting that this election we are done with the fascists, the racists and the idiots. Unfortunately those are way to baked into human psychology… We will always have those members of our society.

    What I’m hoping is that enough people will say at this point in time, our daughters have bodily autonomy. Kids don’t have to worry about food at school. We all have the freedom to choose to be who we want to be. That, January 6 was an isolated event spurred by the ramblings of a man who a large part of society is finally rejecting. And all of those J6ers, are traitors.

    I’m suggesting that we want to elect officials that want to keep the department of education. Want to keep NOAA. We want to be members of the greater world.

    We want to elect forward looking politicians.

    Is that copium? Eh probably. Is that a naive way to look at modern politics? Probably.

    But that doesn’t mean we have to lose hope.


  • I’ve been thinking that he’s the personification of the post war America. The boomer narcissistic generation. And this election is the fight between where we were as a society and where we would like to go .

    Granted… this election isn’t going to change our American oligarchs, or corporate ownership, etc… but social acceptance, personal freedoms and autonomy are very much under fire. And this election is a cross roads where we have to decide who we want to be.

    America has a lot of issues. But hopefully we can put a pin in those older ways of thinking.
