Aunt Blabby Takes A Break

 


I occasionally like to read the advice columns. It helps me adjust my moral compass when someone asks a question I would answer quite differently, like this query where a woman asks if she should leave her husband after fifty years of marriage as he has never said a kind word, ever. 

(Aunt Blabby is taking the night off. I'm going to step in)

My response: Lol. Seriously, lady? Fifty years and it just dawned on you to get out of a shitty relationship? And you need to ask!?

Advice columnist: I'm so sorry you feel unwanted. Perhaps talking to a therapist will help. Talk to your husband. Tell him how you feel. It's never too late to change.

Me again: Uh, yes, it is too late. Just stay with him and take it. 

So, as you can see, I could never be a wise and thoughtful advisor, yet, sometimes, I think the advice columnists get it wrong, so very, very wrong. Case in point 👉 this recent post where a man wanted to know if he should just face the fact his sister no longer wants to see him anymore. And yes, it's because they are each at the opposite end of the political spectrum. He doesn't say which side he's on but I'm guessing he's the Maga since he seems to be so clueless as to why his sister would dump him over politics.

The advice columnist responds by noting that this seems to be a popular trend lately. He adds that we can have many things in common and family is important. Politics shouldn't interfere with a relationship that is as bound together as a family. Perhaps, talking about politics can be avoided - after all there are so many other things to discuss and enjoy. Are political differences really the straw that broke the family? He then goes on to say some other stupid, useless nonsense. As you can surmise, I absolutely do not agree with the columnist's assessment that we can still have a relationship with someone with a different political affiliation.  Not now. Not while Donald J Trump is alive. 

I don't need to list (I did.👇) the reasons why we cannot be friends with Magas. It's very clear. They can be as sweet as apple pie, give to their church, donate to Goodwill, keep a spotless house, never say, "damn," or "fuck," and I still consider them toxic waste because they supported this regime. 

No- you cannot look the other way. That makes you complicit. To the clueless brother - You burned bridges. You destroyed a family. Whatever lovely memories you had with your sister are dead. She knows it. It's time you accepted the fact that you ruined all of whatever wonderful times you had. They were obliterated by the fact that you voted for (The list. 👉) intolerance, isolationism, war, fascism, racism, misogyny and so on...

I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment due to the latest news where the regime is now going after E Jean Carroll. These people are beyond despicable. We absolutely knew he would do this. This is his revenge tour and y'all voted for this. You make me sick and I hope you never see your sister again. (I know. Harsh, right?) It's not the politics that did you in. It's the lack of anything decent inside of you. 

Yeah, don't come to me for advice unless you want the cold, hard truth. Sometimes my moral compass can't be adjusted. It can't turn to forgive and forget when so much damage has been done, purposely and with great malice towards others. 

Aunt Blabby will be back when life returns to normal, if that should ever happen.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
