This little baby needs a face.

Reading the 12 week year.

On page 2. I'm pretty sure this is over promising and it will under deliver.
Of course that under delivering will be my fault.

There's got to be a better way to do productivity self help than the "you suck so hard right now but I got the magic cure and it's *~*goal mapping and SMART goals in proprietary format*~*

But, I have heard good things about how they talk about goal mapping so 🤷‍♀️

But it also just kinda feels like it's very simplified, mainly personal or micro business Scaling Up. (You didn't need an accountability chart if there's only one person doing the work.)

I might be salty at all of the "what if you were your best. What if you were healthy. What if you didn't just spend all day fucking around"
Like, does insulting people really build authority? Is validating our negative self talk actually healthy? It just feels like snake oil.

Current mood:
How do people have time to do things?
I regularly feel like I have 2 time and 50 tasks that all take 1 time that must be completed in the 2 time available before the factory reset kicks in.

And why, when I feel so overwhelmed by all of this, do I just sit and watch static for hours, waiting for a task to load?

Why am I that Mars Rover that had an existential crisis over tasks?

And the sky is very pretty.

Every day that passes, I become more grateful for my dog.

The more I look at the bull shit that's being discussed this legislative session, the angrier I am about everything.

There's a bill to make free or discounted public transit on election days illegal.
One that redefines marriage as between men and women.
One that replaces gender with biological sex.
We're *still* talking about universal Pre-K. We've been talking about this since fucking Mitch Daniels.

Oh, but they are going to try to make our taxes more fair by discussing getting rid of income tax and just raising the state sales tax.

Fuck all of this.

At least I can escape to the leftist paradise of DeWine's Ohio. (/s)

If couch not for sleep then why so comfy

The new apple commercial, for the VR headset, is really unnerving and long AF.

After starting to accept that I'm non-binary, the discomfort I feel when something mentions "women" as a collective makes so much more sense.
Like, this sentence is talking about how the systems, including gendering, have failed those assigned womanhood as gender.

I still wish gender felt like something I was an active participant in and not something that was happening to me.

We have a small sectional. It's a 3 seat couch + a chaise.

My dog has the ability to sit anywhere on this couch. He's a small boy, there's so much space.

He wants to sit between me and the back rest. He will dig his way in.

I love everything about this.

Shrek gets mentioned so much in modern pop culture

Get an oil change
Get a quote for $2k of work that is very important
Negotiate to get it to $1200

Cry when you remember the trolly system was dismantled in the 1950s and is related to the Black Migration
Cry when you remember your town has public transportation that has one bus on each route every hour, and they all go downtown, and getting to a different route requires going downtown.

It's all racism.
It can always go back to racism.

It's just so frustrating.

I live in a conservative area.
The area where white men in polo shirts have pocket constitutions next to their abridged pocket gospels.

While dealing with insomnia, I read the Constitution, in full, out loud.

And, maybe it's the autism talking, but I'm not really sure why all these not lawyers fucking love historic bylaws so much and think we need to stay pure to them.

Like, the entire document is just very "k" energy at this point.

There's an element of if they actually believe their own bull shit
Are they so far into their own lies that they think they are real?
That Atwater quote feels like they know, on some level.

I don't know how you build a society with people that think like this, or think in the scapegoating minorities ways. There's no common ground, no consensus reality.

It's all racism
And classism
And an intersectional lens because bigots have a near infinite depth to their bullshit.

But, just
Without the racism, could it have gotten *this bad*?

The year my grandma died, she got me an infinity scarf. It's very fall, and very much not me.

I lost it, and then found a box of winter items while looking for stuff.

The scarf was there. I was planning on adding it to the donate pile, because someone out there would probably love it. And then I saw the tag.

I don't know where or how my housebound memaw got this. But it's the Christian girl infinity scarf from alter'd state.
And that's honestly hilarious that it's been in my possession for all of these years.

Maybe it'll be less funny next year and it could find a new home.

I'm grocery shopping at the store that a woman was randomly stabbed.

I haven't been here since she was killed.

It's so strange how things are the same and so fucking different.

What's a good cataloging system for a small home library?

I stopped dancing ballet at demi pointe and I have a nerve issue that makes it look like I stopped after a few years of pointe.

That's nice.
