  • Thanksgiving 2019, went to meet the family at a “fancy” sort of pub out in the sticks for Thanksgiving dinner because all of us were too busy to deal with a traditional get together. Naturally, everybody had their fill until regret as it goes and everybody went back their separate ways.

    It wasn’t until a couple hours later I started feeling queasy and figured I just needed to sleep off the copious amounts of food I’d eaten, so I went to bed. Until 11pm. I had to rush to the bathroom and rotate between facing the toilet, and sitting on it, for about 20 minutes expelling everything my body could muster. After I got back to bed, it came back every hour like clockwork for about 7 hours, except I’d already been empty after the first episode. I finally got to sleep and spent the next 36 hours trying to remain asleep so as not to feel the pain, and ultimately didn’t eat anything for the next four or five days, except small amounts of chicken broth, water, and ginger ale.



  • how fucked up is the political climate in the US?

    Well the right has been brainwashed over the course of decades to believe “tHe LiBruLs aRe GoNnA tAKe aWaY mUh FrEeDuMs,” and coupled with the Trump/MAGA cult behavior has only exacerbated their idiocy to the point any and every one of them feels they have nothing to lose (which they don’t, many have nothing) by standing in the way of democracy.

    American politics has long been just viewed as if rooting for a favorite sports team, “My team is the best and everybody else is my rival!” where people don’t even care that their team sucks, they’ll continue to stand behind them because that’s their team. Many vote against their own interests because of that, and the MAGA cult is the worst case it’s been in a very long time.
