  • 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

  • Why Modern Solutions Aren’t Solving Our Deep-Rooted Problems

    I don’t think anything ‘new’ is being created. There’s a sincere lack of global innovation. Rather, much like the movie industry, old concepts are being re-conceived for ‘modern audiences.’ For example, buses exist. They’re not widely used, but they are there. It’s an option in most places. They’re expensive to maintain and take up a… Read more

    I’m…. I’m feeling a bit compromised. Okay. I’m feeling a lot compromised. I’m also feeling mad as heck. Today, a new complication came up. I thought I was doing okay, chronic infection-wise. You know, I did the oxygen casket. I take the antibiotics. I do all the things expected of me… Save eating ultra processed… 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

    Prompt:V-Day weekend. Went to Olli’s and the boyfriend bought some Ollipops.Amazing deal, by the way. $3.49 plus 15% off.Typically, they’re about $8 per four. Sure, they expire in a couple of months, but it’s cherry. He’ll drink them. Felt a bit guilty and relieved that we didn’t run off to a mall. Although going to… Read more

    Thought-examining post. I’ve noticed something.If I feel forced to do something, or if there’s an activity, situation, or person I’m uneasy about, I don’t want to do it. I don’t want to meet the person. I don’t want to leave the area. I don’t want to alter my routine. I will feel anxiety and depression,… Read more

    Here I go again, I guess. After a week of fearing that I wouldn’t have a paycheck, a class was granted. I had 24 hours to accept the job and ready the course. Of course, I could do so because I’m a bit on the obsessive side of things like that. Actually, it’s fairly unhealthy… Read more

  • 12/26

    This is probably going to be a rambling post. My brain is a bit scattered, and I’m trying to stay busy while waiting for when to leave for the oxygen casket. For the precious month of December and maybe a week of January, Jason has reduced work. My class is usually on break. It’s cold… Read more

  • 12/11 Subjective Pricing – Instacart

    I’ve heard of predictive policing. That’s where an AI and/or algorithm gathers data from an area, splits it into sections, and identifies what type of crime tends to be committed in what areas on what days. The type of law enforcement, whether it be motorcycle, walking, or cars, is dispatched accordingly to keep crime in… Read more

  • 12/8

    Well, I had my second session with the oxygen casket. I know it’s not a casket. It’s more of a plexiglass tube on a fairly uncomfortable gurney for about two hours. The Wound Care got new caskets, and I was the guinea pig. It looked just like the old one, although the cover was different.… Read more
