Over And Out

 


Welp. I am no longer a Blueskyer. I haven't deleted it completely but it is no longer available for public viewing. Little steps. I may delete in time. I enjoyed Bluesky when I first began. There seemed to be some interesting people, all united in a cause. The protest marches were in full swing and everyone felt they were at least doing something - together. There's still a lot of good people on it, but lately the Magas are showing up. There are people who just want to cause problems. There are people who refuse to check facts before they publish lies. I didn't go on Bluesky to argue but lately that seems like all I do. Starter packs were not my thing so I think when people saw my low following they didn't bother to see me, just numbers. I thank everyone who followed me, but that was weird as well. I rarely see the people I follow, usually it's just a handful. My fellow blogger kept me going and made me laugh, but hopefully, we'll connect with Blogger. I'm sure my views will go down to nothing again but that's ok because I write for myself. And now that I don't feel pressured to write about politics I can write about things that interest me besides the current state of our world. Being on Bluesky has actually brought back my depression. Another reason I need to step back. I cannot deal with all the anger and hate and yes, it's scary to think we are probably being monitored. I'm old but I still don't want the Reich regime pounding on my door. I don't know if Bluesky will survive. As much as people say they hate X, they go there because it's like the bad type boyfriend - they're exciting and something's always about to happen. On Bluesky you have Mark Hamill and Steven King. Nice, boring dudes. I won't give up writing about politics because it's fascinating, especially now where we are in such turmoil. But, for my mental health I cannot be in it all the time and I find myself picking up the phone and checking in all day long. Not good. So back to some type of normalcy in the midst of chaos. 

So long, Bluesky. Keep fighting.

Aww, you were on there? I didn't even know, I would have followed you. Glad to be reading your blog again, though.

Oh, no. I haven't completely deleted it yet but I definitely needed the break from it. I'll let you know if I go back.

An Empty Vessel

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.
