So. Trump talked of deescalation. I kknew better, but I felt a glimmer of hope that maybe he would do something that appeared to be deescalating. While I personally was gleeful about Bovino leaving (because I loathe him so much), I knew it was not going to make that much of a difference. I was… Continue Reading
We’re in a holding pattern right now. The border ‘czar’ (god, I hate the use of that term in government. We’re not supposed to have kings of any sort, and that smacks of kingdom to me. It also amuses me in a sardonic way that his name in Homan. Like he misspelled human. RKG (a… Continue Reading
The tide is changing, at least a little. I am darkly amused how quickly the members of this administration are throwing each other under the bus. Noem is now saying the talking points she vomited out after Pretti was killed (that the victim (paraphrased) was locked and loaded, and that he was looking to commit… Continue Reading
Here is my post from yesterday about why I’m feeling the barest glimmer of hope. I am experiencing a deep sense of schadenfreude (again) because Greg Bovino, the duster coat wearing, swaggering macho asshole with a Napolean complex and a filthy mouth (filthy as in nasty to humans not like him, not filthy as in… Continue Reading
Throughout this horror shitshow, I have had been almost overwhelmed by anger, depression, futility, fear, and a whole host of other negative feelings. Once again, before I get into it, I have to give thanks that people are videotaping what is happening on the daily because it’s so much easier to refute the lies coming… Continue Reading
I found the video that I mentioned in yesterday’s post–the one in which Rachel Maddow gave me a sliver of hope that we might be turning the corner. I’ll post it down below. Added note: The video has been taken down and the account that posted it terminated. So it was probably uploaded illegally. I don’nt… Continue Reading
I woke up to the news that there’s been another local shooting by ICE. Oh wait. It might not be ICE. It might be Border Patrol. At any rate, it’s federal assholes. This time, it was K messaging me. which meant I had to be angry, upset, depressed, enraged, heartbroken, and a whole mess of… Continue Reading
We’ve had a cold streak here in Minnesota. It reached -19F, “feels like” -35F last night. It’s -16F, “feels like” -16F right now. This is too cold, even for me. It’s brutal. People are urged to stay inside. Frostbite can happen in about five minutes. That’s not much time at all. Simultaneously, we had an… Continue Reading
There is a cold snap making its way across the Midwest. We are currently at -22F, ‘feels like’ -34F. I had stuck out one hand to see if it was really that cold–it was. Some time ago, I don’t know when, they changed the way they measured windchill to be more accurate. That means we’ll… Continue Reading
My empathy has run completely out. Back story: all my life, I have been made to feel I’m lesser than. I’m in so many categories that just get overlooked or ignored, especially in a binary world. I’m Asian (not black or white); bisexual (not gay or straight); areligious (not Christian, any other religion, or an… Continue Reading
