A Few Thoughts. Zero Prayers

 


Gee, now I feel bad I made a comment the other day about Charlie Kirk and his not so handsome features. Now he's dead. The posts on Bluesky run from, "He was a shithead who believed everyone should gun up, but he didn't deserve this." to "Meh, let's move on." Honestly, I go back and forth. He absolutely was a shithead who would most likely be alive today if not for the ideology he stood by. When you live by the creed that some of y'all are just gonna have to die because that's just the way it is, it's difficult to bring up any sympathy. I doubt he ever thought he would become a "y'all." He was not a good guy. I'm not going to mourn for him. I can't even lament over where we are now, a rootin' tootin' wild West. It's every man and woman for themselves. And you know this will give the MAGAS the excuse to go after the libtards. An eye for an eye. A neck for a neck. Even though they're way ahead in the body count, it's not about getting even. It's about being able to hold a weapon, aim and shoot. Ah, pure bliss. Now they have an excuse to go extra maga crazy. Right now the regime is going after the brown people. Soon, they'll be coming for the demoRats. I've never owned a gun, never even held one. I don't intend to go out and buy one. I will not kill another human being no matter how despicable they are. If I happen to be in the wrong place whilst some nutter takes us out, so be it. Whoever shot Kirk started a new day of reckoning in this country. Don't expect anyone to sit down at a table and discuss how we can get out of this mess. That will never happen. Instead, we will see more acts of violence like what happened in Minnesota. There were eight articles in The Guardian today about Kirk (which makes me sad I renewed my subscription) while there was nothing about the school shootings in Colorado Springs. We have become so desensitized to children being shot it's no longer newsworthy. And yet, this horror of a human will get loads of articles, blogs, podcasts, flags at half staff, medals, statues... Yep, I see the irony as I write this blurb. I add nothing to the pot, but it would seem weird to ignore an event that is so much a part of who and what we are. People who disagree with each other are all set to shoot and kill. During my one on a half dozen angry anti- Newsom mob showdown on Bluesky last night, where I received a stream of vitriol, there was one comment with a cartoon video of someone holding a rifle, aiming, and kaboom- the implication being I should be shot and killed because we had differing opinions. That is where we are in this country. 

I can't cry for anyone anymore. I've used up all my tears. So while I'm among people who'd prefer to put a gun against someone's head to silence them, I'll still live as I always have. I'll have my coffee, read a book, wash the dishes, take a walk and just be.

There is nothing you or I can do about it because there is nothing the government will do about it. Nothing will be done.

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
