“You know I always liked that empty road. No place to be and miles to go.” Roadtrips and Springsteen, Reading and Crochet. Politics. The right side of history is the left. (She/her)
From my second floor window, I can see the Pride flag of a a neighbor I don’t know, whipping in the wind. I sit here with my coffee and it gives me hope.

I don’t love Ticketmaster when I’m buying tickets from them, but it turns out they are worse for selling tickets.

If a company sends me the wrong item, I don’t have to inconvenience myself to return it. Sure, I will set it on the step for them to pick up, but I’m not reboxing a piece of furniture bigger than me, and waiting around during a three day window for them to come get it. Screw that.

I just loved the intimate moment in Deliver Me From Nowhere where Jon and Bruce are sitting on the floor together, listening to music touching hands. Springsteen’s non toxic masculinity is one of his best qualities.

I come from high functioning hoarders. I don’t know if its nature or nurture or a combo, but I struggle with the tendency myself. There is a minimalist inside me fighting to get out, but the hoarder contingent in our world really believes they are God’s people.

I was watching a recorded 2022 concert. The band congratulated everyone for keeping each other safe & for coming out on the other side. It was a reminder of how we never got to celebrate what we did during the pandemic. We kept the hospitals open. We saved lives. We sacrificed. We got mocked for it.

I’m beyond excited about Deliver me from Nowhere, but what is this love story element? Who is this woman? Am I missing something or is this totally made up? I’m not surprised that Hollywood needed a romantic subplot, but who is this supposed to be?!? I have questions!

I was raised to think that if you are smart & competent you don’t need to be defensive. If a doofus at work rants about something, critiquing you while also just being wrong, you can move on and eventually the continued competence will speak for itself.
This is not true. Doofuses rule, often.

If 2025 wasn’t bad enough, it is also the year I somehow started getting scam artists posting on my Google calendar.

Once we get all the bigger problems fixed, can we develop a business protocol for what merits a text vs an email.

So we won on the Kimmel thing, right? Is that our first actual victory?

I can’t claim Democrats have handled things well, because they obviously haven’t. But I still don’t understand why being the only sane people in the conversation isn’t a winning position, imperfections and all.

Randomly remembered when Republicans lost their mind because Obama read the book “The Post American World.” Wild that reading the book was bad, bringing it about is apparently good. 😢

I’m said this multiple times now, but I think about the friends, family and relatives I quietly unfriended because of politics over the years. I regret that now. I wish I would have told them to their face what I thought of them. And then unfriended them.

Trump supporters claimed to truly believe that Obama couldn’t sound intelligent without a teleprompter and now we have …. this… situation.

My once-active FB account is a shell. I have not posted since 1/20 except to spread the word on protests. I do however, like an addict, look at it daily to make sure all my friends are still alive and inevitably, like an addict, get sucked into comedy reels.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

After Sandy Hook, I saw people I once respected saying the most outlandish things you can imagine and I thought it was the death throes of bad ideas and instead it was a warning I did not understand about the power of propaganda.

Just kinda staring into space wondering what it all means, where it all ends, how we return to sanity, how we engage the people who don't know and don't care, what I'm supposed to do right now.

When I see that the US is destroying contraceptives intended for third world countries, I think of the Springsteen line “caught in a crossfire I don’t understand.” People will suffer around the world for political power struggles they had no say in and did not cause. It sickening.

I don’t support political violence, which is why I found “we need guns to overthrow the government” a horrible argument.
