  • Connecting the Social Dots – Part Two. Trauma explanation

    In my last post, I made a claim that the tradwife trend is a trauma response to the increasingly fake and hollow society that is being carefully constructed by 3D bricks. I want to expand on that a bit and clarify. From the beginning, I’m thinking of ‘trauma’ as an emotional response that violates someone’s… Read more

  • Connecting the social dots – Her and him

    I’m desperately trying to get out of my head today.I had planned on dragging myself outside. The sun. The birds. I have some Dollar Store seeds to plant.– Don’t knock them. They tend to actually grow and are far better than the $2 plus dollars of the branded. And I did for a little while.I… Read more

    It’s been tough lately. I’m sure I’m allowing this to be more than what it should be. I’m just stuck. Stuck bad. It’s getting nice out. The days are warmer. The sun is bright. One of the best things in the world is waking up lazily to birdsong. Hiding under the warm covers while the… Read more

    It’s been a bit tough lately. It shouldn’t have been. It shouldn’t be. But it is, or rather, my perception is that it’s been rough. To recap a bit — I have surgical hardware – a titanium steel bar – that is fused to my spine. It’s been there for over thirty years. Actually, its… Read more

  • Big Brain thought – Women

    I created a post that loosely focused on men. For equality, a post about women would help show that I’m an equal opportunity offender. Like most social constructs, feminism started in a good place. Bear with me. There’s a bit of a history review off the top as a build-up. It started with the right… Read more

  • Big Brain Thought – COllege – in steps

    I’ve been kicking around the idea of colleges and how they’re enshittified. I’m late to the party on this one, I know. But I’m still going down the thought hole concerning how man-made devices and technology, in general, are replacing traditional social pillars. And how society is continually becoming more degraded and decrepit because of… Read more

  • Big brain thoughts – men

    Today’s big thought is about men. I’m probably going to keep this short. It’s late in the evening, and the idea isn’t fully fleshed out. I also have something in my eye that’s making it water really badly. I’m typing this half blind. Historically, a man knew he was a man when he impregnated a… Read more

  • 4/1

    A table flip is when reality meets fantasy. It’s in reference to when a group of players – old school D&D – would sit around a table playing. Tensions run high and the physical table would be flipped – from top to bottom – with the legs standing up. Or, if it were a really… Read more

  • 3/25

    This week, although just Wednesday, has been odd and kind of productive. Jason took the week off to study for the impending Part Two of the CPA exam. He’s sequestered himself in his office for multiple days of brain drain. This will (not hopefully, but WILL) count toward completing half of the CPA. I want… Read more

  • Brief thoughts on SNAP

    I don’t have any skin in this game right now. I’m not on SNAP and don’t know anyone who really is. I support the changes – the reduction or inability to buy processed foods. While this is uneven in the states, facing powerful lobbyists and brainwashed consumers, it’s a nod in the right direction. Although… Read more
