Federally nonexistent by executive order; they/them on state documents. Writer, crafter, parent of 5, spouse and office drone. Your neighbor and coworker. Your fellow American until this morning. Probably making fish sticks for dinner if you want some.
If anyone ever reads through my timeline and thinks "Oh, hi, queer socialist Dale Gribble", please know that my paternal grandmother's maiden name (despite actually being the child of a close "family friend" according to Ancestry) is actually Shackelford. I AM THE REAL RUSTY.

The good news about the clear death-spiral-of-the-planet weather we're having here in Colorado is that the ground should be soft enough to bury a cistern for the nuclear bunker any day now. So...that's a plus.

Having to send breakup texts to both your psych med nurse and your therapist and cancel your plan with a platform that saved your life just because some corporate numbnut decided to you were changing insurers is a perfectly American hell.

1. I can only eat protein-dense things, and only small amounts.
2. My SIL got a big-ol wheel of brie for Tday lunch.
3. Few other people at this party liked brie.
4. Brie is my current food fixation.
4+3+2+1= My diet for the last 36 hrs has been just brie and rum. I am a king. I need no country.

You don't hate me because of how much I drink.
You don't hate me because I say cringey shit.
You don't hate me for what I do or think or even am.
You hate me because you've always hated me.
You're a crazy bitch who'll always hate me.
You're a fucking psycho and I'm done listening to you, Vic.

On god, I don't know how y'all are out here dealing with the stress of existing in humanity on a public level day in and say out. My best friend, MOH at both my weddings, just texted me for a third day in a row and that's my afternoon panic attack sorted.

My son got an extra reward in school today for finding a hiding spot during a lock down drill where only he could fit.

AND MY SIDE OF THE BED WAS AGAINST THIS COTAMN THING. AINT SLEPT PROPER SINCE.
So, back when @vicada.bsky.social and I were first living together, we noticed a little oddity in the framing of the apartment wall next to our bed. We didn't spot it at first, likely due to the landlord special nature of the paint and the lack of good lighting. 1/

Listening to an audio book of the Bible while I work (yes, still Pagan, just like learning) and BOY HOWDY does Numbers 5 catch you off guard if you're not expecting it. "Here's who's going to carry the lamps. Here's who's in charge of curtains. Here's the medication abortion ritual."
Sorry, what?

So you know when you have a panic attack for no reason, come down, have a snack, and realize the reason you've been trying and failing to query your novel for years might have something to do with your mom STILL believing you were lazy about scholarship apps instead of just having GAD? Me too.

ME MA IS AT IT AGAIN. I'm going to go have another drink and journal rather than publicly going NC on Facebook (the only platform for such a decision, tbh). If anyone sees this, remind me that my "mindful alcohol consumption" app says I only get one more tonight and we're out of the good rum anyway.

So this one time I happened to be at a...gathering, and there was this dickhead podcaster walking the line, jamming a mic into people's faces, getting into personal space, and shouting loaded questions while recording. A protester separated him from his device, was accused of unnecessary violence.

Left the church around the time he became pope, but I've always said that if anyone could have made me stay it would have been him. He did some foolish shit, yeah, but I'd be hard pressed to pick a pope who's done better. That in itself is sad, but it's where we are.
