I keep thinking: Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell needs a spiritual sequel. 😅

It’s cynical, but I get it. Principles and righteousness mean something in a society that rewards you for holding onto them. 😔

(I kept reading the Rowan novels in middle and high school… Never gave myself time to read that one, and now my hometown public library got rid of a lot of their sci-fi stuff, so McCaffrey’s books are gone…)

Someone like me NEEDS a bookstore because librarians look askance at me. 😅

“Sour Times!” 👍🏾

If you’ve gotten this far in reading, thanks! *sigh*. I’m tired of living in “interesting times.” Finally, you know things are bad when people are being nostalgic for not just the ‘90s, but also (bleh) the 2000s. I hope we all make it. 😓

Finally, I’m an anime fan and a gamer. If it wasn’t for a certain right-wing social media-fueled movement that happened 10 years ago today, everybody could keep ignoring those fandoms, but the gamers and the “weebs” have a manosphere overlap that the Dems need to infiltrate before it’s too late to..

I voted for Harris because I believe that no current controversy will be resolved by voting for any Republican, particularly TFG: basically, I don’t believe in blowing up the barn to kill a rat. And now I’m left wondering if there ever was a rat: maybe it was just a harmless mouse. This sucks.

Respecting *minority* or maybe BIPOC cultures, btw. I don’t respect anything Confederate-related at all. My home county uses Gone with the Wind memorabilia for tourist dollars, but lots of us are Black (me, included) and we are pretty blasé about that film. We have Tara Boulevard and mostly it. 😛

…and hoping that the conservatives who usually outvote you in numbers and fervor don’t overreact to anything that happens in D.C. or the “woke,” “liberal” states. It also means doing your own reading because your K-12 schools didn’t teach you things the conservatives didn’t want you to learn.

Living in the South means expecting the worst and hoping for what’s the most reasonably possible, often meager outcome, as far as being a lefty is concerned. It means that hoping maybe another 28 years doesn’t have to go by before your state turns blue again…

What I believe, recently: I think we might need to consider eating the rich again. It’s looking like we need to get to doing that, specifically in the U.S. It’s gonna need a lot of national movement in that direction, though. We need moar progressive tax rates.

I might be not-straight — dunno. Maybe not. Like men; not sure if I like women.

I’ve been voting straight Democratic since I could vote, since 2004 at age 20. Voted for Repub only once, and it was state insurance commissioner back then. 😆. Creative Loafing said he was nonpartisan and reliable. 😛

Come back to Morrow, GA! *sigh* 😔

Sorry for my late reply.

I do wonder if NYT and others should just “stay there” as “punishment” for how they’ve been lately (too much “both sides!”-ing for my liking), but then, it’s just unethical, period, to be on Twitter right now. The world needs more ethics…

To be more blunt about what I mean: there are some “TFG” types like certain right-wing pundits who were banned on sight — hopefully, no one will deem you part of that crowd and let you be.

Hi. Good luck staying here. It’s been pretty pleasant :)
