Back to my homeland…

Given the propensity of the press to sanewash RFK Jr. by referring to him as a "vaccine skeptic" rather than what he is, a rabidly antivax conspiracy theorist, I thought I'd dig out this post I wrote about him in 2017. I desperately need to update it. www.respectfulinsolence.com/2017/01/13/n...

I keep trying to find a winter break trip to take, but keep coming up short. Junk. Anyone have any inspiration?

I sort of feel like bluesky has made it when the racist bots start showing up.

I keep flipping between a nihilistic fugue state and absolute fucking rage. This is likely to be my state of being for a bit.

Carrion Comfort
By Gerard Manley Hopkins

Not, I'll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee;
Not untwist — slack they may be — these last strands of man
In me ór, most weary, cry I can no more. I can;
Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be.

I think it’s a server issue. I’d wait a day or two and see if it fixes itself.

I live in hope that this platform stays cool.
