Hippodala's Junk Drawer
@hippodala.bsky.social
Hippodala: A portmanteau for the parts of the brain that store emotions and imaginative things. Hippodala's Junk Drawer is full of irreverent humor, odd sketches, bits of music, and scraps of fabric and thread.
Just in case you're wondering...yes, it's the poetry salon that inspires these. I must make it a habit to attend more regularly. New post dropped this morning!

The house passed the budget. Yay, you say? Not so fast. Look up the SAVE Act, because if you're a married woman and you've changed your name, you're in jeopardy of having your registration revoked or being turned away at the polls in the next election. steady.substack.com/p/its-not-ju...

Black, highly qualified, joint chiefs replaced with a White guy who Trump says is "straight out of central casting!"
Needed a waiver to appoint him, cuz his rank isn't high enough for him to actually qualify.
Merit hiring, my @$$.
I have two sons currently on active duty.

Rebooted an old external server. Found some poetry. Save date is 19 years ago. I'm convinced that there's no WAY I wrote it, but I can't find a poem with the title recorded in the file through any online searches. It's just too...good to actually be mine! Anyone else ever had this experience?
