Regrets of a conservative, 2028 edition
When they overturned Roe v Wade,
I didn’t speak up,
Because it didn’t affect me,
When they came for the featus,
I cheered for the sanctity of life,
When they overwrote privacy laws to persucute women,
I cheered for due process,
When they charged those women for murder,
I cheered for justice,
When they overturned native titles,
I cheered for our civilised society,
When they reversed gay rights,
I cheered for the sanctity of marriage,
When they segregated the races,
I cheered for purity,
When they united the division of state and church,
I cheered for morality,
When they overturned the constitution,
I did not see that coming,
But there was no dissent to be heard above the state sanctioned cheers.

You know, if you’re thinking about sending someone a nice message and you’re unsure because you’re shy or whatever, just do it anyway. This world lacks so much kindness, and I see people all the time talking about why receiving a sweet message was the highlight of their day. If you have the ability to literally make someone’s day by taking a moment to say a few nice words like, just do it.
It’s so easy to do, and you can say it in a way that allows them to feel no obligation.

I would be completely unsurprised if this was something @naimhejeanne did for one of her animals.
Also, how anxious would you need to be for this to be the solution?

It’s funny, we were talking about this the other day, and we called it the “western first world privilege disease bias complex”.
Namely, “those” diseases, plagues, and all those nightmare inducing ickky things were not something “we” in the “clean” world needed to worry about, because “those” things only happened in those third-world, far eastern or you know, those “undesirable” places.
So, the whole being aware of your environment, wearing masks, washing hands - you know, generally treating the world around with the diligence and respect required in understanding that these tiny organisms are trying to survive as well and will kill us, unless we do these things - that’s not for us “clean folk” and besides, we’ve got pills.
Except, now, they don’t trust the pills either.
Humans are so confusing.

The pandemic peak-spread curve-spike isn’t the only thing being flattened out by the (inter)national lock-down and isolation. After four weeks of being in isolation, my disposition, depression, and general energy are all suffering as well. -

My mind is a perpetual energy machine of doom.
My mind is a perpetual energy machine of doom.
I went into a depression spin this weekend. Still trying to unpack it and work out exactly what the trigger was …
I’m… raw? I’m dazed and uncoordinated. I’m shaking so much that I can’t even do a normal fucking thing like go to a Cafe! I spilled my espresso all over the table… twice!
My heads all foggy, my emotions are brewing like a storm in a teacup, I have a migraine threatening headache and…

When it is (not) amicable …
No one tells you about the excruciating details of separation. Nor the emotional or mental strain that you have to deal with.
Sure, people talk about anger, angst and sadness. Far too often it is wrapped in the package of an acrimonious split – an event or action that like a grenade in a lake creates a massive splash and then ripples out to each bank.
No one talks about a split that is made when…

Shitty phonecam images, just wanted to share the Kookaburra that has set up the backyard as home base and taking care of the rodents and skinks.
