  • I’ve already made my peace with the idea that Trump will never see justice and will die a free man, but there are plenty of younger men in his administration who have many years ahead of them, and the crimes they’ve committed and will commit have consequences that reach far beyond 2028, whether or not they willingly leave office at that time. Sooner or later, someone answers for this horseshit, and I and many others are and will be harassing our representatives to make sure that happens – me, personally, I’d really like to see Russell Vought and Stephen Miller spend their final years in a cell.

    I just have to keep telling myself that in mid-1939, before the war but well after much repression, probably nobody in Germany thought the Nazis would ever be punished for what they were doing to Jewish people.

    I also have a nice bottle of wine saved for Trump’s death, but I was very tempted to open it if we got McConnell and Graham in the same week. Alas, it was not to be.


  • frankly I think if everyone on the planet over a certain age took a heroic dose of mushrooms, just once, we could get about 90% of the way to global human enlightenment. A little ego death, as a treat.

    Unfortunately, with the draconian laws against psychedelics (how dare you try and escape this reality when we’ve made it so pleasant!), this will almost certainly never come to pass.


  • I was gullible.

    Met online on an app, thought we hit it off after our first date IRL, I was over at his place every chance I could to cuddle and watch movies together. After a few months they broke up with me via text on Christmas, saying they didn’t actually mean any of the things they said and that they didn’t feel right continuing.

    That was my first and last “real” relationship, and I’ve largely given up on dating this past year or so. It’s getting more dangerous to be openly gay in the US (I have no illusions about what happens after they run out of trans people and immigrants to scapegoat), and I’ve been learning more and more that I simply don’t mesh well with others, so I suppose it’s for the better.
