1. My ingrown toenail. I’ve never had one before and didn’t know what it was. I felt sure my foot was rotting off. It HAD to be gangrene or root rot or something else desperately serious. Right? I mean, it’s not like I come down with easy, run of the mill, boring-ass illnesses like basic common colds, right?
Nope, it’s just a standard, no frills ingrown toenail. Nothing to get excited about. WHY isn’t this all better yet though?!
2. Headline in The Guardian this morning 'Something good just may be happening,' Trump says on Ukraine talks…
Oh fucking PLEASE. Just spare me. This is just more of the same bullshit reality tv teaser crap. The man (and I use the term loosely in regard to Prez Pedo) is completely out of touch with what’s actually happening in the world. For him, war and peace are no more than story arcs in his presidential reality tv series.
'Something good just may be happening’ – he’s just teasing the next episode. WILL Zelenskyy get off the island. STAY TUNED!3. Being deaf. This is complicated. On one hand, there are serious benefits, like:
I’m unbothered by:
- Big ego-ed, mansplaining midget dicks. They tend not to have the patience required to smoothly posture and preen at me – especially when I insistently make it clear that I don’t read lips and they’ll need to write out by hand whatever they wish to communicate.
- Tantruming toddlers and crying babies
- People talking loudly on their phones in public
BUT I DEEPLY miss:
- Music (major understatement!)
- Hearing accents. Jen, Oni, and I just watched an episode of Shetland and I SO wish I could hear how the actors speak. I wonder if the accents are accurate.
I was remembering the last time I was up in the Orkney Islands. I was at a cèilidh with a bunch of folk from Scotland as well as native Orcadians. I still had hearing then and had no trouble understanding the Weegies and Inversneckies but the Orkneymen? Oof! I felt like such an idiot every time I had to ask them to say that again slower.
By the by, when you hear Boston accents on television or in the movies they’re rarely true.
- I miss the sound of the rain, the wind in the tall grass, the waves falling, and meows.
4. The Supreme Court
5. Leon Musk and his anti-democracy troll army who masquerade as American patriots. The trolls hail from Eastern Europe, Russia, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and India. Dude really needs to go the way of all Spinal Tap drummers. I’m partial to him suffering Mick Shrimpton’s or, better still, Chris "Poppa" Cadeau’s fate. Your thoughts?
AND now some pics.
