I was wrong. (And I need naming help.) in Those Public Entries
We aren’t fucked. I was in a panic when I wrote my last post. That said, we’re not out of the woods yet. Like I said, the Democrats have my vote, whoever they pick (and they’d better fucking pick...
Biden is stepping aside and not seeking re-election. I’m trying to find a positive in this, and I can’t. Kamala Harris is a fine choice for President, and I’m voting straight Democrat no matter w...
Take your sanctimony and shove it. in Those Public Entries
People: Stop “both sides”-ing the Orange Shitgibbon’s assassination attempt. Fucking quit it. There is no “both sides here. And no, you are not some good, elevated human being when you simper abo...
Place yer bets! in Those Public Entries
I’ve got one month’s gross pay on “publicity stunt.” ETA And to every milquetoast Democrat out there saying that “political violence is un-American!” (Alt text: Bernie Sanders, “I am once again ...
We lost Larry Kramer too soon. in Those Public Entries
(Apologies for the video censoring the fuck bombs; it was the only one I could find with the full speech.) In this speech, Larry Kramer was talking about AIDS. It wouldn’t take much to alter thi...
Victory! (and why unions are necessary) in Those Public Entries
So, as I mentioned a few entries ago, I was told to RTO. For a little background: I work for the IRS in Vermont. I started on June 7th, 2021, and was remote until July 2022 because of COVID restr...
About a year ago, I saw a post from someone on this very site, who believes WFH is not only a net negative, but that we should abandon it completely in favor of working in the office full-time ag...
Because for the second time, I posted an entry (this time public) in which I briefly mentioned being Jewish-ish and made references to being anti-Zionist, and someone just had to pop in with (((D...
Patton Oswalt, “You Will Hate Your President” in Those Public Entries
”Anyone you vote for, into the White House, will eventually, during their presidency, do something that will make you, as a supporter, go ‘Eeeehhhhh…’ [noise of “how the actual fuck do I justify...
Too much bad in the world. Have some funny. in Those Public Entries
So, for the last few years, one of the hottest lost media searches has been for a song, originally called “Everyone Knows That”. In 2021, a user going by the name “Carl92” posted a slightly disto...
“…but being wrong doesn’t have to mark you as irredeemable. We can learn and grow.”
Yesterday, I deleted Threads from my phone. Again. Not because of anything major; if I can give it anything, it’s more chill than Xitter ever was. Except for two topics: JK Rowling and Harry Pott...
I'm just gonna leave this here... in Those Public Entries
The Contagion (survey-style!) in Those Public Entries
What size is your bed? Queen size, but when I moved to Burlington, my parents insisted on me getting a really thick mattress (they were paying for it). So it’s a queen size that’s, like, twelve i...
The cat's got the brain cell and the pigs are loose in Those Public Entries
To preface this: Since January 2022, I have lived in a tiny village (~1200 people total) in a rural part of Vermont. Up ‘til then, I’d lived either in large metro areas or near them. This is sign...
"Green Day went WOKE!" - The MAGA agenda in Those Public Entries
During a performance of “American Idiot” on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Billie Joe Armstrong changed the line “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agend...
And finding a Christmas tree in Those Public Entries
Yesterday, while I was getting my Christmas tree out of storage (read: the upstairs bedroom I don’t use for any other reason), I decided to let the bottom of it slide down my stairs, mainly becau...
NoJoMo Catch- and Wrap-Up in NoJoMo 2023
Let’s talk about sports? Do you play any? What’s your favorite sport to play? To watch? I am not super into sports, except hockey, figure skating, horse racing (particularly the American Triple C...
NoJoMo 23:20 in NoJoMo 2023
What are three things you do well? Writing. At least, I think I do it well. I want to be a paid writer, but I have no clue how you even get started as a freelancer, or how/if you can get hired ...
NoJoMo 23:19 in NoJoMo 2023
Self-care Sunday. What’s your favorite form of self-care? Probably the stuff that’s less pleasant than eating an entire Trader Joe’s death row cake, to be honest. Remembering my vitamin D supplem...
NoJoMo 23:18 in NoJoMo 2023
Almost everyone likes listening to music. What are some songs currently on your playlist? “Rock the Casbah” by The Clash “Legend of a Cowgirl” by Imani Coppola “Is That Good?” by Jack Haley and...
NoJoMo 23:16-17 in NoJoMo 2023
There’s a lot I want to say about Israel and Palestine, but as maybe the only (kind-of, sort-of, according to Pew, anyway) Jew on Prosebox, I end up thinking about the response, and, well… Jon St...
NoJoMo 23:15 in NoJoMo 2023
Three things you would do if you weren’t afraid. Queso… There is almost nothing I won’t do because I’m afraid. I think the only thing is “jumping out of a plane,” but that has a lot less to do wi...
NoJoMo 23:14 in NoJoMo 2023
Try it Tuesday - What is something you’ve always wanted to try? At the moment, I’d like to have a book published. I’ve been working on one since January, when I took a class called Writing a Book...
NoJoMo 23: 12-13 in NoJoMo 2023
I have lentil-potato soup on the stove, let’s do this! Let’s be nice to ourselves today. What’s your favorite things about yourself? I’m a good cook. Not everything I make is a winner, but I def...
