i have been thinking of this tumblr post daily since i saw it
screenshot of a tumblr post and reply. original post, by user "chroniclesofchronicillness," includes a chart drawn in comic form. The chart depicts a large circle, labeled "your tank," and a smaller circle, labeled "your effort." The large circle is filled to 40% with blue ink to indicate capacity; an arrow is drawn to the small "effort" circle, which is shaded entirely blue, clearly representing that its area is the same as 40% of the larger circle. A caption on the comic reads "When you only have 40% and you give 40%, you gave 100%." The comic is signed by artist Saurabh Bhatnagar. The original tumblr poster comments on the comic "This makes so much sense." Below that, a reply to the post is visible, by user "random-fandom-place." The reply text reads "This accurately displays 'running on fumes' as well. Like, once you get to, say, 5% in your tank. Still 100% of your effort. This is such an amazing visual. Even knowing that my chronic pain impacts what l can do day vs. day, seeing this visual just really helps."

"I one our Nation's Districts..."

JFC. If Biden wrote anything like this, it would be nonstop "dementia" stories in the media for weeks on end.

Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly
The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again. I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a Landslide, winning all Seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a lot. I one our Nation’s Districts by 2750 to 550, a complete wipeout. I settled 8 Wars, have 48 New Stock Market Highs, our Economy is Great, and our Country is RESPECTED AGAIN all over the World, respected like never before. The last Administration had the Highest Inflation in history - I have already brought that down to normal, and prices, including groceries, are coming down. To do this requires a lot of Work and Energy, and I have never worked so hard in my life. Yet despite all of this the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite. They know this is wrong, as is almost every thing that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE. This cheap “RAG” is truly an “ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.” The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out. Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up. There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“That was aced”) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now! GOD BLESS AMERICA & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I regret knowing anything about Olivia Nuzzi.

After reading this I know I'm likely to learn more about her in the next two weeks... and I'm certain I will regret every thing I learn. *sigh*

I like Mark Kelly.

I have a lot of respect for his service.

I love that he's standing up to a fascist administration & reminding service members of their oath to the constitution and urging them not to obey illegal orders.

I just wish he wasn't using the issue to spam-text me for donations. ☹️

I was at a show in a New England town hall Saturday where the band of old white guys plays several Jimmy Cliff songs to cheers from scores of old white people, who danced happily.

We were as un-reggae as a crowd can get but Music Is Universal.

I'll probably post more, but we lost Jimmy Cliff today, an absolute legend of music and film. If you haven't heard the soundtrack to The Harder They Come, fix that today.

This modern remake of The Madness of King George is a lot less funny and more tragic than it should be.

New threats from Trump:

The president just endorsed a post reading, "Go get all those traitorous sons of bitches for sedition at the very least. Those pompous traitorous communists should be impeached and prosecuted."
