In the interest of combating creeping fascism in the US, I'd like to remind folks to read (or re-read) our founding documents: primarily the US Constitution, but also the Declaration of Independence.

Here's a link to the Constitution: www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

It should go without saying but there isn't anything amazing & special about being white.

Great, so your ancestors came from a place short on sunlight. Whooptie shit.

It's the Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did
You deserved it.

Finally got the CPAP up & running again. Used it for the first time in ages, night before last.

I can't say I got any more sleep than I usually do (which, broadly, is "not enough"). But it seems the quality of sleep was way better, since I had enough energy to get up & do some yard work.

I'm trying to donate a collection of medieval garb, yardage, & trim, & am finding it surprisingly difficult.

It's all from when I was in the SCA. I've already reached out to two local baronies with no luck: one hasn't replied at all, the other referred me to the one who didn't reply.

I worked at a hospital that has strong DEI policies & proivdes gender-affirming care to patients of all ages. It's one of a number of hospitals all affiliated in some way with a local publicly-funded university medical school.

Trump regime policies have been devastating to said hospital system.

YES.

In fact, I've been purging this year rather than consuming.
My shelves are overflowing with books. My closet can't fit any more clothes, most of which I haven't worn in years. My attic is filled to the brim.

All of the Black Friday shopping deals remind me that I'm drowning in stuff. Are you?
Do we really need more stuff?

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound & fucking, signifying nothing. #addfucktoshakespeare

To fuck or not to fuck, that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings & arrows of outrageous fucking, or to take arms against a sea of fucks, & thus opposing, fuck them. #addfucktoshakespeare

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there, she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word, she can get what she came for

Oo-oo-ooooh, ooooooh oo-oohoo,
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

THIS. This is exactly what I'm saying, in a different way. He's all about *the show*, not the substance. He puts on a song & dance so all eyes are on him.
Trump will absolutely be won over by enthusiasm and energy and believing in something. he's a musicals guy. he's a showman.

So with the various snippets going around about Trump & how he's being with Mamdani at the mayor-elect's visit, how he's "OK" with being called a fascist & went to dig FDR's portrait "out of the vaults": it's important to remember that he isn't really changing his position.

He doesn't have any.

An #ADHD tip that has saved my bacon more than once: if you put together a thing for your house (like furniture, brackets, curtain rods, that sort of thing), & you end up with a) extra parts &/or b) tools that came with it (like the ubiquitous Ikea Allen wrench), DO NOT SEPARATE THEM.
November 21, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Y'know what's a weird thing I learned recently about #ADHD?

ADHD-wired brains crave stimulation, right? So for a lot of us, coming up with ideas for a project is enough stimulation to satisfy our brains. & we don't actually *do* the project, because *thinking about it* was enough.

WTF, brain.

Have y'ever read the Declaration of Independence?

I'mma bet plenty of folks on this here platform probably have; we're a pretty politically savvy bunch.

I mention it bc it's a pretty goddamn treasonous document.

Kinda wild how often I catch myself holding my breath with my shoulders up towards my ears. Life is tense, y'all.

Lysol is basically like Axe body spray for your house.

Been spraying down the outside of our couch cushions & holy shit, this stuff does not smell like I remember it did when I was a kid.

Welp, I have a couch to clean, y'all. I gotta get moving. Later gators. 🐊
