Fair warning to the new folks: I often have horrible, unhelpful, unhealthy, and infuriating takes. I do my level best to NOT post them. But with the worst of us in charge and most of either complacent or complicit, I cannot promise to curb the darker side of me. While I’m neither a defeatist nor a nihilist, I do rather enjoy exploring concepts to their absurd extremes. That is often depressing. Sorry in advance. Thank you for coming to my not-new #introduction TED talk.

I’m deleting my accounts on enshittified services one by one, and leaning heavily into Signal. Group calls on the fly help make me move that much quicker.

Next week begins a whole lot of intentionality on my part. I feel like I’ve been skating thru things and rolling with the punches, both of which I am quite skilled in. But it’s time for a different approach. I want to do more things that matter—to me and to others. I think I’m happiest when I do that. So… more sounds good!

I’m calling it a night and the end of progress in the USA. It’s after 1:00a, a solid 4 hours past my bedtime. I can’t even anymore. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I wake tomorrow to a different outcome, but I’ll still be deeply disappointed in my fellow USians who made it this close. Good night to all who voted against fascism. To the rest—fuck off, you women-hating asshats. May you reap what you’ve sown. #ElectionNight2024

#GoodMorning from stormy and soggy central Oklahoma! ‘Twas a new bed last night, and my youngest nephew likes a way softer mattress than we have at home. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday, so we celebrated appropriately. I’ll do lunch with her today. It’s the day before the most important election of your life. Respond appropriately, and do your best to keep the anxiety as low as possible #today. Let’s do some boosts!

Louder, for those in the back. (Also—excellent perspective shift!)

We watched the ##Harris2024 rally while we worked out. The combo helped me get over the mini anxiety attack I had an hour and a half before. Pretty sure the night will be spent watching either #hockey or #YoungFrankenstein, a favorite of mine where now everyone is dead. They live on on the screen, and I own a copy of the movie. Take care of yourselves tonight. We’re almost(?) thru it!

#GoodMorning and happy #Sunday who all accept it. I’ve no idea why my body said 4:30a was the right time to wake up after it didn’t go to sleep until after midnight, but here we are. I was expecting some soreness from my bum shoulder after playing some hold of #DiscGolf yesterday, but it’s fine. Hrm. Maybe I need to do that more often? I’ll be tinkering with TheEnd.fyi #today when I’m not tooting. May your day have moments of joy. And cake. Or pie. I prefer pie.

Though it would have a chilling effect on the economy here at home and world-wide, I gotta say I like the idea of the Feds saying, “Thanks, dipshit. We’re nationalizing Space X and Starlink, and deporting your ass.” I like that idea a lot. #fantasy #uspol https://mefi.social/@MissConstrue/113368335607979695
