Being the tip of the spear isn't without consequence, but sometimes you just have to fight the good fight despite the personal cost.

Well... that's it... just got the call... officially an orphan... they're gonna call the funeral home my family has always used for me... head is spinning... heart is broken.

I don't even really know what's next. I guess life insurance stuff. I think I remember the funeral home helping with that.
My mom is currently in the hospital on comfort care... which means I'm about to be an orphan. Even when you know it's a fate that awaits us all and we all just assume we'll outlive our parents, this just... this sucks.

I have a million thoughts running through my head and no idea what to do.

I'mma watch some football & prolly fall asleep before halftime.

Tell the people you love you love them. You don't have to be all gross & weird about it—unless weird & gross is your jam—but one day they won't be here. And it sucks even when you don't feel like you should have said this or that.

Who's playing MNF tonight? Do I continue with the Mom's Favorite Movies Marathon or break from the sad/happy stroll down memory lane for some football?

Apparently I've been rendered unable to make even the simplest decisions by all this. Let's hope that passes relatively quickly...

Not really in the mood for this right now & if a bunch of dickheads come caping into my mentions showing their whole cracker asses, I'll just turn off engagements, but I just have to say...

It's really quite something that no matter what harm the GOP causes, even so-called DEMs blame DEMs.

To those who are made all squirmy & uncomfortable by in-person maudlin displays of emotion, virtual hugs can be every bit as emotionally comforting as "normal" people find physical hugs.

The kid who organized the protest for my mom back in July saw my Facebook post and sent me a text. He's a nice kid... a good egg, that one. His mama raised him right.

Try to remember this over the next year, while we're trying to knock some sense into them and get them to vote for Democrats.
Their heads have been steeping in malicious leftists propaganda since they were teenagers, but their hearts are in the right place. They were preyed on by a populist demagogue running a cool grandpa grift who warped their perception of the world.

But there are good & decent kids among them.

I still don't have it in my to respond and I know myself well enough to know if I respond to anyone, I'll then feel I must respond to everyone to maintain my sense of balance & fairness.

I'm sure you understand... I just want to make sure you know that knowing you care matters to me.

I'm not sure what I'd be doing right now without this distraction, so thanks to all of you for humoring me while I basically process all this out loud like I'm on a virtual couch and you're all my therapists just sitting there nodding along knowingly while I spiral.
I'm so tired. All I want to do is sleep, but I don't know if I can. It's so weird being in this place by myself... knowing she's never coming back. This is so... weird. I don't know what to do with this.

I know you don't know what to do with it either. I'm just stream-of-consciousness here.

Officially done with the second week of November forever. November 10th & November 14th... almost exactly 30 years to the day.

If I kick it in November of my 73rd year, I've got ~23 years left. At some point I'mma have to figure out what to do with it, I guess. I hadn't thought past... this.
You wanna know what really sucks? My grandma died in November of 1995... 30 years ago. She was 72. It's November. My mom turned 72 in June.

So... yeah... I'm pretty much done with November.

Now on to arguably the worst of the OG Star Trek movies—The Final Frontier—which I still have to watch, because for some reason my mom thought "marshmelon" and these ridiculous men trying to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in a round was just knee-slappin' hilarious.
My mom really loved the OG Star Trek movies... The Voyage Home is about to start. That one was her favorite. She loved whales... they were her favorite animal.

I know a lot of you have been following my year-plus saga to keep MiddleTown Property Group from forcing my elderly, disabled mom out of her home. I knew the stress of being forced to move would kill her. They basically killed my mom.

Making this cheesecake would be a fine tribute to her.
I might order and eat an entire strawberry cheesecake tonight. That's my mom's favorite. It's what she always wanted for every holiday & special occasion. She's the reason I came up with this cheesecake recipe.

She didn't love super dense baked cheesecakes, but the box was too pedestrian.

You love the ease and taste of a Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake, but miss the satisfying density and richness of a "real" cheesecake. Problem solved!

This is the price that a family in Eau Claire will have to pay for their health care plan next year, thanks to Republicans. Does that look affordable to you?

This is the last thing families need on top of their already skyrocketing costs.

It's annoying to keep having to point this out, but the actual DNC has been behind Mamdani ever since he won the primary, which you wouldn't know by reading some posts on here.

When the tidal wave of anti-Democrat propaganda becomes a tsunami threatening to drown us all, remember this...

The better DEMs perform, the more you'll see the propaganda ramp up from hostile interests left, right, and foreign... undermining democracy.

The goal is to depress voter turnout.

The anti-DEM narrative will get louder with every DEM win in elections across the country (e.g. San Antonio mayoral race, etc.) and you will begin seeing it ramp up with so-called "Resistance" influencers & journalists, in particular, because their incomes rely on ratfucking the Democratic Party.

Sometimes I hear a song and become slightly obsessed with it for a while. I suspect this is the next of those songs.

This is... if you're sometimes haunted by those "one that got away" voices, this is one of those songs that will stir 'em up.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

We're ~3 weeks from Thanksgiving... millions are furloughed & tens of millions more are trying to figure out how to survive without SNAP because Speaker Mike Johnson is so committed to protecting pedophiles that he's willing to let children go hungry at Christmas.

Is that what Jesus would do?

St. Denis Medical's Dr. Bruce Schweitz is the most insufferably irritating character on television. I genuinely dislike him... so much. His scenes make the show almost unwatchable for me.
