I do art & writing & dreamwork & tarot & shamanism. I think I might be retired because I don't have a job. 🤷 I used to work as a dev & a visual artist before that. I admire reason, but I'm not a rationalist nor materialist. Remedios Varo is my hero!

Before you follow me…
I have no idea why hundreds of people follow me, I can only think of a few dozen who have had more than a passing interaction with me. I occasionally reply or post stuff, but really, I expect to be obscure and mostly ignored.
Let me just explain a tiny bit about myself…

My folks immigrated here ~1900 to work mines & mills in W. PA & I grew up with descendants of E. & S. Europeans. We were called ethnic slurs to our faces until the 1970s. WASPs ran everything back then & is now ICE. It boggles my mind how we forget this so soon. 🧐

What is weird to me is that I've voted in every election, every primary but one since the early 80s, and I've only felt my choice was a perfect candidate once. And so what? Voting is about choosing the best option, trying to move toward a better country.
Assuaging my feelings is not good strategy.

Trump is good at is getting attention but is horribly inept at running things, learning, tactics and strategy. The Greenland fiasco was massively harmful. A pity that we have so many fools who don't vote, are racist, think simian dominance displays are meaningful. 🙄🤷

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell.

A Republican President, SCOTUS, Senate and House. Oh, and they dominate the states, too. Their pals own/control most large new media and social media, but lots of foolish blame Democrats for not having a time machine to fix things to stop this, ignoring that VOTERS chose this. 🙄

It has been ages since I've relied upon legacy journalists for good information about what's going on in the world. I like finding individuals who go into depth and are able to explain parts of the complexity of things. Perun has been that for the last few years:

Was just talking with a friend who lives in Minneapolis. She tells me that everybody greets each other by appending "Fuck ICE!" to everything, like "Hey, how's it going? Fuck ICE!" or just a plain "Fuck ICE!" 😳
Whoever planned this really fucked up. They thought they'd just walk all over everyone.

Trump's dementia is becoming more & more dangerous. I wish the Senate would act like it! His fixation on Greenland has no benefit for *anyone* and I can only imagine he fantasizes that this will be some great legacy for his name. 🤷

In 2024, eligible voters:
31.6% - Trump
30.7% - Harris
1.2% - Third Party
0.5% - voted but not for president
36.0% - did not vote
Seems like the biggest "party" is Non-voting Eligible Voters. So why blame Democrats for everything? 🙄

The 2nd thing is people going on about wanting changes in the system that requires a 2/3 majority, all of them being things that we wouldn't need if we had a 2/3 majority.

I love Never-Trumpers attacking Trump/maga & funding efforts to stop them. I enjoy it when they are snarking, attacking and pushing buttons to piss those folks off.
But I don't assist/fund them because they are not going to work for my values, they seem to really believe that old Reagan era junk. 🙄

It'd be one thing if people who know nothing about US politics *asked* if their ideas were feasible, but they never do. It is always some idea they heard about but never looked into.
Lately it is the constant refrain about impeachment. Do you have 2/3 of the Senate?
