Getting Started

Despite the existential dread of watching my deplorable country collapse around me, day by day I still gotta feed my family, call my mom to see if she is out of the hospital yet, and go to work. In some ways zombies might have been easier...I had contingency plans for zombies, but not for fascism.

And so it begins. My SIL just had the cops show up at 9pm for a "Wellness Check", and when asked why someone would call in a wellness check they claimed it was because of something her husband had said on social media. He mostly post pictures of art or videos of playing his guitar.

My Grandparent's generation didn't fight in WW2 for this country to become what they were fighting against. They were far from perfect, but they would be ashamed and outraged.

Life stumbles on, and today there shall be Tacos!

I've passed the first milestone in my Bluesky journey. After only two days I've blocked my first account. Message from stranger, seemed human ( because conversation went quickly from small pleasantries to sob story and offer to sell nudes ) but straight to a bot response once I politely declined.

Working the Early Shift for Holiday Overtime pay. Should be sleeping instead. I will try to focus on "I have a Dream" instead of "We have a Nightmare". Good luck to us all!

I'm tired of screaming into The Void, so thought I would say hello to the Bluesky.
