A year since Ma passed.

-Last year.

-The better memorial.

Been a helluva year. It flew right by.

That first few months were long delayed home repair projects.

Deciding what of hers to keep, give away, and throw out.

I curated her library.

Reading piles of books and talking to internet friends is about all that's kept me sane.

On April 10th of this year, I got hospital sick.

Dad's had constant testing shit.

My paternal grandmother isn't doing so great. She's not long for this world.

We tried to adopt her cat, but my cat howled at her to establish dominance, and she said "fuck this" ripped the screen, ran out into the woods, and vanished forever.

So...yeah.

Helluva year.

Not my favorite.

Eighteen years of Shmegalamonga!!!

Year 18.

-Years 1 through 12.

-Years 13 through 17.

Ma passed away. 😔😥

Saw "Superman", "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", and "The Mandalorian and Grogu".

I think we just might survive Trump overall, but he's gonna take the economy over the cliff as he croaks miserably and pathetically. His cult seems to want that.

It's really fucking sick.

Still reading books.

In fact, I hit the year anniversary of the Poe project I started out with.

Mandalorian recharged my Star Wars appreciation. Somewhat.

No new news on my ex-friends who turned into TERFs.

Every now and then, I think "was there something I could have done better with how I handled it?"

But no. Every time I cycle through it, it comes back to "no".

It's them. They suck.

When you let "social contagion theory" come out of your keyboard unironically, and take it seriously as a concept, you're no better than the guy who says "(insert minority group) is an infestation" or "(insert minority group) is poisoning the blood of the country".

And even if you want to argue it's a serious scientific concept with an unfortunate sounding name....fuck off anyway.

The so-called scientists involved should have picked a better name, and they were smart enough to do so. They knew exactly what they were doing.

It's Nazi shit no matter how tiny you dice the pieces.

And, either the people passing this crap along know damned well what they're doing, or they're total morons.

But people that stupid can fall for Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, and Bari Weiss, so stupid vs evil really makes no difference.

It's just evil.

Cry all the crocodile tear you want. It's gaslighting.

In fact, everything I'm reading shows how fascists tick, and backs me up.

Especially Stephen King. He forsaw all this shit. And not just in "Dead Zone".

"Firestarter" "Tommyknockers" "The Long Walk" it's all right there.

So, yeah, that's where I am this year.
