The world or at least this country is fubarred.
Right-winged super legislators have taken over the
Supreme Court. They have officially turned women into
2nd class nothings who can’t handle decisions about their
own bodies. We are quickly becoming a male-dominated,
theocratic autocracy. What else? The EPA has no right to
do its job regulating the bad stuff that is destroying our
planet
Then we have the DINOS in the Senate. Senator Manchin
and Senator Sinema keep the Democrats from doing things
that would move the country forward. Getting rid of the
filibuster is perhaps a bit dangerous, but necessary to pass
legislation protecting voting rights. How about codifying
Roe vs Wade or doing something about climate change?
Personally, I would like fewer subsidies going to big oil. I
don’t know how much they get, but I bet it would go a long
way towards funding Solar or Wind energy programs. How
about doing something regarding privacy laws in addition
to R v W so that LGBTQ+ rights are protected. Another oldie
but a goodie we could do something more
about–commonsense gun laws. And no, I DON’T want to
take away your effing guns. I just want the mass shooters
to have a harder time getting them. And if you want to be
an originalist the constitution was written at a time when
guns referred to a ball and musket. Not an AR-15
assault-style weapon. You don’t go hunting with an
AR-15; you use a long gun, a rifle, or a bow and arrow. The
assault-style weapon is made for one thing only, killing
human beings. An AR-15 would render any target prey
unusable. What is the point? The point is sane rational
people do not need AR-style weapons. And please don’t get
me started on hunting for sport. How about raising the
federal minimum wage? People need to be able to not
worry about not having enough money to feed the kids or
buy diapers.
Something needs to get done about supply chain issues and
the price gouging that goes along with them. How about
inflation? Damn it! Do the fucking job you’re paid to
fucking do. The rightwing theocratic fascists are not your
only constituents, and neither are your high-priced donors.
It’s hard to deal with my health, both mental and physical.
Plus the insanity of this country, and the world at large.
He that shall not be named has turned this country into a
shit show of constant disgusting discourse. I can feel the
hate every time I go outside. I feel it every time I go on any
Social Media site. It makes my anxiety worse. It makes my
depression worse, And when there is violence like Buffalo
and Uvaldi, the war in Ukraine, I start falling down the rabbit hole of my childhood which is filled with anger and ugliness and abuse, and that triggers my PTSD. No, you don’t need to have been in the military to have PTSD. This all means life becomes more challenging than it has to be. I still need to be able to function
I want to be able to function better. I need to get downstairs
and clean. I need to work on training my puppy. I need to
work on my office. I need to be here, working on my
writing. I need to be walking and exercising. But my brain
revolts, and I have a difficult time sleeping, waking, and
functioning. I feel awful.
I’m done in. How do I dig out from under the weight I put
upon myself? I want to save the world. I want to save every
cat and dog out there. But what I need to do is take care of
my husband Bruce. I need to take care of our house and our
animals. I need to take care of myself. That’s the bottom
line I guess. What are the priorities? They have to be right
here at home.
Until next time
