1/6 I have to laugh a bit when I hear people call Sanders a "Socialist." Mainly because they have no idea what Socialism is and think of Russia. That's Marxism-Leninism Socialism; it all belongs to the government. Then there is another reality that the American people don't seem to understand:

Just finished The Pitt (💜!) so drifting over to ER bc I've never seen it. I HAVE seen Shameless, and George of the Jungle.... So that's funny. Noah Wylie looks like a mix between baby faced Keanu and Wil Wheaton! Such a baby boy! 🥹

I have just a tad under two years left to finish S2 of @criticalrole.bsky.social. I'm loving it, obvs, but holy heck, it feels like I'm going to be busy with this forever 😶

Feeling cute today. Doing a (budget) hyperfocus in skincare recently so while my coloration isn't even, I feel very very smooooth. Might fuck around and start doing foundation? Idk

Terry Pratchett describing my TN Walking Horse, Thor: Camels gallop by throwing their feet as far away from them as possible and then running to keep up. Knee joints clicking like chilly castanets, You Bastard thrashed up the sloping road out of the valley and windmilled along the narrow gorge...

We had a very nice black man help us with our grocery cart this afternoon, and 5yo launched into a black history lesson, beginning with "His people and our people..." 😬 Oh lawdy, son. 😬 It ended up being about the bus strikes, and good on him for picking up on the lesson, but eek for a moment

Working my way through @criticalrole.bsky.social ,on C2E68, remembering that the last time I heard much about D&D beyond they were being extremely money hungry, plus partnering with Target, doing lots of ads on Twitter... I wonder how this ages as it goes 😝

Listening to Behind the Bastards: Dr Sleep and uhhhh.... Can I get some of that deep sleep therapy...? Might get better? Might randomly die in my sleep? Might just... Sleep? 😅 @iwriteok.bsky.social

We went to a gem and mineral show, and the tistics were out in force! 🤣 (that does include us) We ended up with a fossilized shell, a simple arrowhead, some rose quartz, a grape agate, and a little teardrop shaped malachite that I want done into a pendant 💜 The boys LOVED IT.

I'm having emotional bleed through the antidepressants, I've realized. I'm struggling to keep up, while everyone around me seems to have no real problem other than a little stress and annoyance. Back to the old How Does One Human Correctly crisis that I've come to recognize from autistic stories.

I am ready and waiting with this one. "Some boys don't think girls are cute, they think other boys are. And that's okay." I'm already watching my pronouns when talking about the future people my boys may be attracted to. Pretty sure 5yo likes girls bc he's a flirt, no telling with 3yo.

Reading Dan Simmons' The Terror. I'm not sure where the book is going, but the idea of the northwest passage is baffling to me. Here, let's go FURTHER north into ICIER ice, until we find water that is... impervious to freezing? The water:

Just finished The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett, book 2 of my read through Discworld, since apparently there are conflicting orders? I'm definitely settling in to the writing style and properly enjoying it now. 🪐📚

This awesome and also unsurprising. If things keep up like this - and I certainly don't see them getting any better - Drump is going to make sure there ISN'T an election. I swear all this chaos is him getting things to set up to claim martial law and cancel any elections.

Somehow I don't think I've read a Terry Pratchett before. 35% in, and it's sillier than I tend towards, but good and certainly going quick. Bonus: I see my library has a ton of his ebooks available! 🪐📚

Man, for a while there you could get Montana Silversmiths jewelry for pretty cheap at HorseLoverZ, just tons of really pretty designs. Now they've skyrocketed again. I don't do a lot of western style wear, but sometimes they would really hit the spot. My favorite necklace got ruined and I miss it ☹️

Doing my morning listen to the news, and I'm now nauseated and shaking. Either I'm terrified of what's going on or I'm having a blood sugar issue? But I think it's the news.

I'm all caught up on @desertskiespodcast.com ! Gosh, I really loved this one. Very few podcasts have made me laugh as much as this one. Plus it pulls out the feels occasionally as only a comedy can. Highly recommended!
