  • 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

    It’s been a strange week. Let’s see…. Well, um, I failed my dex scan. Although I haven’t heard back from the disfigurement doctor, I’m guessing that I’ll remain as I am now – at a standstill. That’s just doing what I’m doing. The next time the scan will be avaliable is in 2028.. The likelyhood… 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

    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

    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

    I attribute a lot of my values, personal views, and behaviors to my parents – especially my dad. Or, rather, to the perception I have of my dad. Rather it be said or unsaid, a child will imprint what it seems as it grows. It’s how boundaries are created and can help a child feel… Read more
