So Much To Do, So Little Time

-

 Lately, there has been so much I want to write about on this blog. So much is going on in this world.

There is climate change, abortion rights, gun reform, elections, the-isms, and the list goes on and on. So much to write about...so what's my problem?  I am my problem.

On an average day, my head spins a million miles a minute with ideas, to-do lists, and all the other things that encompass being a cis woman in this world, within a patriarchal structure.  Ok, maybe I am going too far with this for this writing. I will save it for another time. Though it is part of my problem. 

On my dry-erase board, I still have a large list of topics that I want to write about like the Afghanistan withdrawal.  Well, that and the fucked up agreement the US signed with the Taliban. Doesn't matter what President you want to blame for it, it's our fault that we let our politicians keep supporting a 20-year war that costs lives and trillions of dollars.  I guess we might be safe from "terrorists" now.  Oh, wait, we do have domestic terrorists, mostly white supremacists.  

Speaking of white supremacy, as someone who is big on history, I keep noticing their ugly faces keep popping up like lesions on the skin of our society. Infecting and killing the rest of us.  And one question keeps popping up: "How do they keep coming back, like a fucking cancer?"  Well, when I write about this, I will come up with a better, more appropriate question.  But it's on my list.

Abortion, my rights, and our reproductive rights are gone in many of our states...well, I wrote on it. But I don't think my anger and rage came through very well, only 15 people viewed it. But I write these blogs for me, not you all. As an additional note, I can't help but notice that the rest of the world is going forward on this issue, like Ireland, Argentina, and Columbia. But the supposed "FREE" nation of ours is going backward. Why?  Leave our vaginas alone, unless we consent.  Easy? Right? And don't give me the "pro-life" bullshit. You all don't care about anyone's life.

One issue I want to explore and write about is my generation, no, I am not a Boomer, I am the one after that, a GenXer.  And one thing that I noticed is, regardless of the political spectrum, race, gender, class, etc....we all seemed pretty pissed. I can't tell you why exactly.  I mean I know that I repress my anger until I can no longer do so.  As I have been telling people, yeah, I am a nice person, but I will return disrespect in a fucking minute. All these men and women are in their 40's and early 50's.  Yeah, we seem to have lost our fucking minds.  Why?  I am not sure.  Maybe when I write on it, I'll figure it out. I do know that I am not aging gracefully, well, it's because all the anger I keep buried.

I can tell you all why I am angry. Having volunteered with many politicians, I have come to the conclusion that they are all narcissistic liars. Well, most. One of my Poli Sci professors once said, "we don't send our best."  Sometimes, I think it's true.  In a democracy, we shouldn't be worshipping our leaders, actually, fuck call them leaders, our politicians are civil servants elected into office. We need to start reminding of them of that.  I plan to write on this too.  And political messiahs. you all need to pay attention when a politician says, "I" a lot.  Correct them, and say, "No bitches, it's WE!"

Another topic I want to write about is religion and democracy. Yeah, that's all I am going to say about that for now.

Finally, some local topics would be nice, but it might go back into why I think politicians are jerks.

For now, I have returned to my old job temporarily to fill in for someone going on Maternity Leave. This is the second time that I have done this since I quit in 2015.  It's been 2 1/2 weeks, and today I remembered why I quit. But that's my business, I won't be writing on that, but I do want to touch up on labor rights and a class movement in this country...

This list will have to do for now, unless I get pissed off about something. Which happens about 10 times a day, so it's a wonder I don't have more writings on this blog.  Though my sons are teenagers now, which scares the hell out of me, but I will share that with you another day.

Again, it's more for me than you.

The Trumper Troll Neighbor and Election Integrity

As the election draws closer, my nerves are in knots. Will the American voting public choose common sense and democracy, or will they choose a shit-show version of fascism that comes in orange and wears a red tie?  I have no faith in the American voting public at all, not since 2016. Actually, I am convinced that my fellow Americans are masochists and not the fun kind.   But before I get into my main topic, I have an interesting social media story to tell you all. (See my 10/14/24 post, "Troll or Not?" for background.) I just recently experienced someone who is in the Orange cult, in real life, it was my neighbor. She has been a “friend” on FB for a year, and I knew her political views, but I paid no attention to her except when she would post happy family pictures, because, regardless of someone’s political leanings, I always wish them love and it’s nice to see it.  So when she commented last week on my post about my inquiry about JD Vance’s name changes (there are three...

A Letter to the Voters of the Orange Motherf*cker: Peaceful Transfer of Power

Dear Asshole Americans who voted for the Orange Motherf*cker (especially family members), A few days ago was January 6, 2025, for those keeping track, it was a day in which Congress routinely certifies the Presidential Election. It felt normal, unlike the last Presidential election certification.  On January 6, 2021, our years of tradition and the core of our democracy was challenged for the first time when there was no peaceful transfer of power.  Instead we watched as "Americans" stormed the Capitol all in the name of saving their Orange Bastard messiah from being "cheated out of an election."  We all know, including you all, that it was a fucking lie from, to use Jon Stewart's words, a "whiny bitch".  The current election certification was completed without the horror that we witnessed four years ago. Your willful ignorance and its (Orange MFer from this point forward or "IT" as its pronoun) ego destroyed the revolutionary idea of a peacef...

No One Elected Elon Musk (Or Any Billionaire Overlord)

  It's all over the news and the observations about the power structure that now exists in the White House has been made perfectly clear.  The press conference in the Oval Office with Donald Trump at the desk, silent and only speaking when it seemed when he had permission, while Elon Musk, with his small son picking his nose, did all the talking. It's really a depressing scene as one of the tech oligarchs actually thinks that HE won the election, as the shadow of a man, Trump, who was elected sits there confused. (Maybe Musk did win, as it seems that he bought it.) The scene can be described as one writer on Substack, Nadine Smith, stated it was reminiscent of a scene from  Lord of The Rings: Two Towers,  where the villain was speaking for the cursed King who was bewitched by the Wizard Saruman. (You can go to Nadine Smith's Substack to read more: https://1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/musks-oval-office-power-play) Nadine Smith describes both the fictional and...
