I feel like we're all saying Llama, but the real answer is that everything is beige and dirty.

I don't know what happened to Molly McButter, but I hope wherever she is she knows her legacy lives on every time I sing my cat's name to the tune of her jingle.

Okay, why did he say 32 days in such a weird way, and why didn't he leave the podium on camera? Grabbing my red string and a cork board....

Is it square footages or square feetage?

I also don't understand how we're supposed to believe that people who shoot first are the real victims anytime there's another murder.

I guess I just don't understand how footage of US forces blowing up buildings and probably killing people can be declassified, but the names of rapists who may be sitting in elected offices are redacted.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who woke up and has just been sort of wtf'ing it through the morning. This shouldn't be a thing, right? Can Canada come steal our train wreck away or something? Is that an option? Just, y'know, as a hypothetical. Obviously. Totally hypothetically.

I made it through the day without saying anything intentionally mean, accidentally mean, or capsizing my day with my own attitude. Take that, assessment.

Low self-regulation, my ass.

Thinking about how offended I was when that leadership assessment for class scored me lower than expected for self-regulation, and also how hard I'm having to jump through my mental hoops today to not let a holiday guest ruin my good time. It's my holiday, too, dammit. I WILL ENJOY IT, or else.

I wish I'd figured out sooner that it's okay to not want to be a worker drone, but that exploring what gives me a sense of purpose would get me to the right work.

I know this isn't the point, but for some reason the painted on doggie nose bothers me so much more than the rest.

I just can't be bothered to get along with everyone again until one of us stops trying to oppress people and take away everyone else's rights just to feel special or whatever. No one owes you reconciliation if you aren't willing to reconcile your own toxic behavior.

It feels like an endless game of shouting, "They can't DO that!". But they do it anyway. What's going to be left to shout about at the end of it all? Will we even be allowed to shout?

Like, metaphorically I feel like I'm approaching a boss fight, but literally I'm going to BE the boss. I don't know what to do with that?

I've had the same toilet for about 22 years and today I'm getting a new one. I'm trying to figure out if I'm feeling something about it. I mean, I've spent a lot of quality time on that toilet. But also, is a new toilet like a "treat myself" situation? I don't know what to do with this.

You know how sometimes boys are programmed to be mean to people they secretly admire to artificially inflate their own pathetically underdeveloped sense of self? Unrelated: Nice Zelenskyy-inspired outfit you wore in Greenland, Vance. Totally not weird at all. Great cosplay.

This feels like big Bert and Ernie vibes to me in kind of a great way.

Has this all been an elaborate ruse to trick climate change deniers into buying electric cars...? (I mean, no, obviously it's about greed like just about everything else happening right now, but how weird that it's come to this, huh?)

I'm struggling to articulate that we're on the verge of having much bigger fights to fight and the petty shit feels important because we're all so angry and traumatized, but we should be bending our energy toward preparing rather than blasting every elderly old man who thinks he owns everything.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 10/03/2025
Everything is spinning out of control and we're all fed up with assholes throwing their privilege around, and I feel like a failure because I keep having to tell my team that some fights aren't worth it right now just to keep us rolling. I know it's bad for morale, and it's bad for us.

A lot of people are going to need some time to warm up to the idea of actively rebelling, but small steps like these are going to help acclimate people who are hurt and angry by what's happening in the US. Even if the act itself doesn't make a huge impact, it will help us adjust our comfort levels.

Three specific times I felt the most embarrassed to be American in the last ten years: When Trump was elected the first time. When Trump was elected the second time. When Trump tried to bully Zelensky on live television in the Oval Office today.

Something about our ongoing government situation feels eerily similar. Only this time around it's people and programs and maybe much more critical data disappearing. I'm not so sure it's going to be as easy to fix as popping in a Windows 95 cd.

When I was a kid, my grandpa would regularly call me and tell me he deleted files off his computer because he didn't know what they were for. To him, this meant they couldn't possibly be important, even though they were critical OS files. Every time, his computer stopped working.

I unironically cannot figure out if Musk is a real life supervillain or the most uninformed, disassociated, delusional megaboss on the planet. I mean, I guess it could be both?

A gif from Big Trouble in Little China in which an old mystic holds up a magic gem and screams, a warrior gives a resolute yell, and the anti-hero shoots his gun into the ceiling, which drops a large rock on his head. They are pumping themselves up for battle and in one case, a concussion.

Relatable...I, too, give myself pep talks in the third person when I'm big scared of doing something. Take a deep breath and own it, Chuck. Baby steps are better than no steps!

It seems profoundly unfair that as I get older I'm more prone to getting sick, but also unable to comfortably lounge in bed all day. What kind of bs is this?

If we pour energy into freaking out, we're not going to have energy for doing what we need to do to dismantle the things that are freaking us out. It seems like we might want to reserve our energy for that. And by "we," I mean me. I am freaking out over here, what do we DO?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
Okay. Okay, okay, okay. I need everybody to take a deep breath with me, and then maybe five or six more deep breaths. And then, after we collectively subvert this very natural panic response, we're going to all sit down together and figure out exactly what we need to do, step by step.

Someone please tell me Nic Cage has all of our historically significant documents ferreted away somewhere for safekeeping.

And look, if that's happening and I'm just not seeing it, how about investing in better communication and playing the marketing game so I can see it? I'm desperate for a reason to hope. The scary stuff is happening out in the open. The good fight should, too.

Here's the thing...we shouldn't have to DEMAND the Dems push back. They damn well should be doing it already BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. You won't earn my vote by kissing my ass and making promises. You'll earn my vote by showing some common decency and rising to this moment.

Okay, but if technology will eventually be able to translate my cats' meows for me, what am I going to do with the time I'll save chasing them around the house meowing back at them while pretending I don't know that 90% of the time they just want to con me out of more treats by being cute?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 26/01/2025
Missed opportunity there. If we're serious about calling these people out, we can't afford to give them any gray area to hide in. We can't roll over into the social soothing that allows everyone to be comfortable until something absolutely devastating happens.

They should have made a powerpoint of Hegseth's tattoos during his confirmation hearing and asked him what he thinks their historical significance and their personal significance to him are. Then they should have had an actual panel of experts explain them to everyone, on camera.

I've never been a fan of his, but it feels like we're rapidly approaching the event horizon where any organized dissent is helpful dissent. Cross this one off the list.

Okay, fine, Mitch voted no. Whatever his motivation was (righteous indignation? Stubborn loyalty to the old guard? Sudden deathbed sproing of conscience?), what he actually did was demonstrate that he no longer has a following.

Add it to the list of gross things that are happening or are about to happen. The important thing is that we shouldn't let this separate us from the rest of the world or each other. That perspective and community is absolutely critical no matter what happens next.

From a political standpoint, it also feels like a manufactured problem. Maybe we'll be handed a solution at some point in the near future by the original source (and exploiter) of the problem they themselves created. Still gross. Grosser, even.
