Ruining my sleep schedule to remind myself that I’m an adult and my career is chaos incarnate. I have sleep hangovers because I’m middle aged but still want to be awake at ungodly hours like I was in my 20s. Is this how I find out I have ADHD because I can’t do unstructured time?

I’ll gladly be radical scum anytime, anywhere, if it means I’m the opposite of what this country is going to become. I’m proud to be un-American, un-patriotic, and antifascist. In the words of some of my ancestors, Trump can pog mo thoin like la poutain pigeon that he is.

HUD released a video with the KATO song that’s been going around with the TikTok video meme of actor Jon Hamm. We should all be outraged at the propaganda spin direction they took:

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

The Government Unconstitutionally Labels ICE Observers as Domestic Terrorists
A free country must have an absolute wall of protection for those who record government actions.

We had the Red Scare, what color scheme are we on now?
Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027.
And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.

2025 ending with punch in the right direction. 😏
One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

I accidentally bought something from Canada. eBay needs to be far clearer about origin of seller because my photo of James Dean, while awesome, is now being held in customs and I will have to pay a tariff to get it out of customs. 😖

Wrapped presents and listened to Xmas music. Felt a little holiday cheer despite not being able to go to the boy aquarium due to my chest infection that’s irritated my heart inflammation. Safety first. However, if a hockey player wants to come over…😈

I practice Yule and my interpretation of it begins at sundown on December 21st and ends at sunrise on February 1st. I’ve yet to convince anyone to pay me to be heathen, aka recognition for my beliefs. Apparently heathenry is still frowned upon. 🤣
