Rich people always talk about raising the ceiling, but socialists talk about raising the floor. Everyone should be able to live comfortably, not just the rich getting richer.

I hope you are all having a fine holiday season so far. Times are very harsh with lots of hateful people, sickness, loneliness, and cruelty but we must do our part to combat these things... Do what you can. When you can. If you can. 🖖 #miccillian #leftwing

Happy October 1st, mates! 🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂 I'm enjoying my hazelnut, cinnamon, and nutmeg coffee out on my balcony today, reading through my 5th edition Player's Handbook for D&D, as I've just joined a new campaign and I'm trying to reign in the character I think I'll play. 😁☕️

I didn't want to leave the apartment today because of the crazy heat and humidity but I had to go get an x-ray and do blood-work, as my anxiety was through the roof today, which didn't help. ☀️🥵 But at least now I'm home, in air conditioning and a fan, with coffee, quesadillas, and mozza sticks.

I think I'm going to post Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots every now and then because the world isn't depressing enough. You've been warned. 😭 #rdr2 #reddeadredemption2 #arthurmorgan

Not me though. I've felt 80 since I was 20, and I know exactly what the heck happened. All the booze, deaths, fights, moves, jobs breaking me, loves lost, missed opportunities and missed sunsets, broken bones, stitches, and the overall poetry of the journey.

Safe and sound at home again (sunburnt) from the SCA event, Barons Brouhaha! Socializing, fun music jams/performances, mead-tasting, training to be a thrown-weapons marshal. Wassail! #miccillian #captncillian #pirate #bard #poet #sca #societyforcreativeanachronism #baronsbrouhaha #ealdormere

Grief is also of the body, not just the mind. A sharp pain in the chest. A pressure in the stomach. A headache or migraine that doesn't want to let up. Sore cheeks. Salt-scratched eyes. Joints flaring up. Strength fleeing from muscles. Be understanding. Grief is of the body, not just the mind.

Money in politics since the 70s, then even worse in the 80s, creating Corporatism and Oligarchy (Nixon and Reagan). Strip security, privacy, and rights (W. Bush). Fox News/Right-wing rags spewing unchecked propaganda. Hollywood entertainment encouraging vapid celebrities and populists. Etc...

It was a super fun night with another show today (Sunday 2pm to 5pm) and I will be posting video clips of some of the songs on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok. You can't tell from these pics (especially because of the empty table in there) but it was a packed house and some people were even dancing

More great conversation with strangers, brought my mandolin into the shop for a tune-up and re-stringing, to ready her for the Paddy's Day shows, had some Scotch eggs, coffee, and pints, made a custom shirt for the weekend. This week has been the most I've spent in a year or two. Oh boy.

- A lovely woman asked about my musical instruments. - A bearded stranger complimented my beard; I told him "Bearded brothers have to stick together!" - Another stranger said he was impressed by my authenticity and how "Real" I am. There are still friendly people even in the darkest of days.

Project Nightfall thinks Americans should give Elon Musk a chance. He puts on a character, a mask, a false set of opinions and values that he doesn't believe or care about. It's bravado and trolling, to see how far he can get with snake oil. It works. He's playing in the right sandbox of stupidity.

It's more complicated than this but I was dumbing it down for him. So, the global population of Palestinians has around a 2% increase of life expectancy in 2024 but 6% to 8% of the population in Palestine has been murdered since October 7th 2023. (Excuse the typos)

I haven't been posting on social media much lately. I've lost all motivation due to 40 years of depression. I barely play music, barely leave my apartment, barely talk to people (outside of battling against pieces of shit in society). My Sims 4 character has more fun than me right now. 😆

Holy shit. Instagram has forced accounts to auto-follow Trump and JD Vance, even non-Americans...so I figured that is probably only happening to certain people BUT I just checked and I was suddenly following too! 😮 I had to unfollow immediately! Go check!
