It’s tough right?

Some days I seem to get it all wrong. Some days I soar.

This is from the poet Joseph Fasano who also writes poetry prompts, and a teacher who used them sent him this. IDK.

Those kids have never seen any medical care providers of any sort. They let the boy get an almost 107 degree fever one time, and he’s obviously autistic so it must have been extra miserable for him. No vaccines, no dentists, no school, etc etc.

Found some really nuts messianic Christian family on Facebook, and the mom just gives birth on the back of the skoolie they live in without any medical care, thankfully they only have one son but the father circumcised him with a razor by himself on the bus, and mom thinks that is a swell idea and wrote up a manual about it for her website. They drive around putting up religious signs and begging donations off their fellow believers to live on, and I want to call CPS so badly but I don’t know how to find them. It’s SO much worse than that too.

If the news could just never pay any attention to that little freak again all would be well in the world. I’d also love it if Lemmy could stop posting stuff about him!

We had a HUGE storm in February, at least 40 cm. Thankfully it was a long weekend so we had an extra day to dig out.

It snowed a lot here this year!

I found this in my jewelry box when I was packing for moving. Throwback to the 80s! Very much doesn’t work.

I love my phone to a not great degree, but I would hate a smartwatch. I don’t like wearing watches anyways, but something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty. At least on my phone I can listen to podcasts, music, radio, etc, and I can read books and magazines. A smartwatch just feels like a shackle. Also every time I go to concerts or theater now and see the lights go down and all the smartwatches glowing in unison it’s creepy.

I’m scared of it but also impressed it evolved to eat nuts.

Well she died in 2012 in her old age, so no.

I really like Jay Hulme. Glad you like!

No we’re Canadian.

May the Lord look down upon us in favour.

Even my Trump loving coworker thinks he’s psychotic now.

She’s known for her novels, but she’s a damn good poet. Some of my favourite poems are hers. This is a very long poem called Half Hanged Mary which I think is a masterpiece.

I like this.

It’s staggering.

I’m glad you like! It got me.
