Choose Your Focus
Being a curmudgeon come with its downsides in a country where chaos reigns as democracy whirls toward a terrifying end. The downside is feeling overwhelmed by everything that’s horrific. No one can do it all. Choose your focus and be vocal about that. Make sure your elected officials (while we still have them) hear your…

Not Even Pretending They’re Not Racist
Of course every decent person knew that GOP’s anti-DEI campaign was just a cover for reinstating Jim Crow. You can feel them getting giddy at the prospect. There’s no other reason for removing all mention of women and POC from government websites except White Nationalism. What a fucking disgrace. Updated to add: I posted this…

They’re also lying…

spring into hell
Get rid of this time change. I don’t even care if we pick standard time or daylight savings (which is STUPID and not the one we should pick but whatever). Just pick one and leave it that way. We know it’s dangerous and that people die because of this. Come on, Congress. Give us this…
