Carpenter, writer, married, building a cabin on an island, which I will never finish because I've been working on it so long that I don't know what else to do with myself, so I make up new projects instead of relaxing, and since I'm old, they take forever.

It took 500 million years, but finally, some recognition. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

From the last page of "Sleepless Nights", by the great novelist Elizabeth Hardwick. "Mother, the reading glasses and the assignation near the clammy faces, so gray, of the intense church ladies. And then a lifetime with its mound of men climbing on and off."

This is very cool! And yes, saying "Not everyone can afford to leave the country!" is a valid initial reaction. After that initial reaction, please consider sharing a link to mutual aid requests for folk that you have personally verified, but do this *on your own timeline*.

Between spam, ads, tv and radio commercials, junk mail, etc., I'd say I get 50,000-100,000 messages a year asking me for money. That can't be good for my brain.

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents. So much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility, all to pass their tax scam.

REALLY getting tired of the establishment Democratic Party holding its hand out for my donations every time I log in here given their non-performance since inauguration. Give me something to donate for.

Minnesota state capitol right now

My wife and I are atheists.

I'm going to my local 50501 protest today, but I also want to think about bypassing the stupidity currently polluting our government - about building something better that's not controlled by psychotic billionaires. I want a better future that money can't buy.

Looks like this will be a real thing. I'll be at mine in Minnesota. Very warmly dressed for temps around 19f. 50protests.com

An excellent article from Ars Technica about the enshittification of the internet. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...
