Since my SO isn't here to calm me down, I'm gonna be taking a mastodon break. Too many never-kamala-"progressive" lefties and doomers are in my feed, causing me stress and disabling my ability to do what I can for myself and others.

Hey everyone here should watch Tabitha Speaks Politics on YouTube. She gives great breakdowns! But also, she speaks the truth. Things are getting worse in #Gaza right now, and who is talking about it, the people, Europe, and many of the people who did what they needed to do in 2024 in the U.S […]

So I write this in a bittersweet manner. One thing that I saw recently was the promotional stuff for slate cars. And... I actually think it's a decent idea. Car bloat is a serious problem and if slate takes off with it's smaller and simpler cars, it could be a first step in taking on Car Bloat […]
