We are in an age where you, me and the next guy don't matter until they are lifted up to celebrity status, and then they after given special treatment and it's treated as though that's the norm, that bad things don't happen to normal people because select few are spared.

I finally started reading again after being in a slump. I finished Somewhere Beyond The Sea and cried a lot, and I started this book, Keeper of Happy Endings by Barbara Davis, which I'm listening to the audio book and reading on kindle at the same time. It makes it easier to read, and it's very cozy
Book cover for the keeper of happy endings by Barbara Davis which features a French woman with dark hair facing the Eiffel tower from the upstairs of an apartment or room wearing a dress from what appears to be the 1940s. On her back are golden swirls.

I was just thinking that t***p and those ceos are going to China. You know they're going to party, and it feels monstrous with what we know about the eps****n files. Just saying.

This. I do everything to manage my bipolar disorder from exercising regularly, to meditation, to eating healthy and taking my meds every day. I still end up hospitalized every few years, but in the time in between people say, "oh are you disabled? You have it so easy."

The nyt knows what they were doing with this headline
A headline that talks about prime Minister Meloni and trump splitting over dispute but reading it as a scan looks like he's splitting with his wife.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

In honor of (hopefully) today's launch of NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon in more than 50 years, here is a to-scale graphic of exactly how far away the Moon actually is. (Click image to expand.) You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon!
A scale illustration of the Earth and the Moon, with the Earth on the far left, lots of black, and then the Moon on the far right, about 30 Earth diameters away.

Someday, a school child will look on the name of trump plastered somewhere left behind from the attempt at leaving a history and hundreds of years from now that child will say "who's that?" And the parent will go "I dunno some president, let's look him up" and then be shocked and embarassed.

Everybody's like "wouldn't it be funny if it happened on April fool's day?" And I'm like "wouldn't it be funnier if he were jailed, pooped himself at trial because of the tent pole thing and were guillotined... on April fool's day?"

This is why I never read opinion pieces from any newspaper because they're all garbage. Why do they even employee these people? How do they even have jobs? In this economy? God damn, it has to be nepotism I stg.

I think if they remade Falling Down for 2026, it would be the story of Ayman Ghazali. You almost want to feel bad for him because his wife divorced him, his family died in an attack in Lebanon, and then you remember he bombed a synagogue and it's like, soured. Life is complicated.

I'm in transition, and i would feel bad but there are bright spots in the storm of it all that are keeping me grounded. Love is truly great from friends, family, and even, yes, a boyfriend, which is unusual for me. But I'll take it.

I saw a protest near my apartment last night because of the anniversary of the insurrection and the police and ice were there. Any passing car that honked in solidarity they started following and checking plates of immediately. It was scary.
