I’ve hardly seen my dad all month, he didn’t get home until 9:30pm last night, and is still out tonight. He’s out making deliveries to people.

I know, but I think you quoted the wrong person. :) I also follow a few people who have been in jail, and post about changing the system. I also have a cousin who was in jail, for drug convictions.

That’s the one. I think he was allowed to change his name, and is living in my State. I’m not romanticizing him, either. I really want men who hurt women, to receive the same kind of treatment.

At the same time as they’re pointing out how much money he’s getting from billionaires, in donations, and saying that he was smart, when he avoided paying taxes.

Yeah, and I wonder why guys like Brock Turner, never received this kind of perp walk, and treatment. re: education. Trump wants to make it even harder for kids to even get a regular education. Same!

Right, I’m angry with them. The ones who deliberately spread lies, and act like they believe them, too. The MAGA person I know and loathe the most, went to law school. He’s got an education. He told a mutual friend that he did it to help people, but I truly think that he only did it, so that he would learn whatever legal loopholes would help him, in whatever he does.

MAGA loved him, until he worked with the Democrats. Those I know online, anyway. They don't want unity. I did see a post earlier, from someone who said that he was starting to regret his vote for trump. He didn't think they'd remove funding for children's cancer research. I was on reddit at times, before the election, and anyone who was concerned about polls, or didn't like certain things about Kamala's campaign, were called Russian bots, and downvoted. They were told to relax, she had this. She was going to win. I think in some cases, people assumed that she would win. A man from Ohio, an author who posts a lot about politics, was warning people to ignore all of that, and just vote. I want to know why he gets away with it, too. He called us the enemy within, and said that he would turn the military onto us. that we were worse than any threats from dictators he sucks up to. Ugh, my internet is so bad, and so is my computer. Getting a lot of trouble tonight. The connection for my headphones is almost worn out, too.

I don't call them names, usually. I don't like to call anyone a loser, for example. I'm also not educated. I dropped out of high school, and finished studying at home. I took a proficiency test, so that I could leave with some sort of diploma, before I was eighteen, when we lived in California. My mother was supposed to go to college, but she was shoved into a job at sixteen, because her family needed the money. Dad had some college, but he also needed to work, and was working from a young age to buy himself things that he needed, first with a paper route. I wanted to go back to school, and I wish I had. Last month, I had a guy assume that I had money, lived in the city, and had a college degree. He told me that I should get to know "the other side" the farmers - who I happen to have been related to on both sides of the family. The people with no money. We've never had money. I was born a city girl, but I don't know why he assumed I had money, and lived in the city. We've been acquainted for years. I'm also not perfect, and have been taken in by some things, in the past. I can relate to some of this, too. I've had MAGA assume the worst things about me, too, but most of them knew whatever they assumed wasn't true. Trump's rallies have reminded me of those in The Stand. Also, the same people who told protesters that they should get a job, were rioting on January 6th. Also opposing liberal protesters all over the country. They didn't mind their own business, and stay in their own lane. They are centering themselves in our bedrooms, our medical business, and our relationships. Also going after trans kids, and adults. Now we're being threatened, if we hide immigrants, too. they started lies about immigrants eating pets. It's been two months, and it's hardly mentioned now. Our Amy Acton, and at first Dewine, too, got us through the first months of Covid, we were doing so well, and then DeWine caved to the conspiracy theorists, and MAGA. Amy Acton needed security (as did Fauci), because she was getting death threats. People were camping outside her home, scaring her children. Fauci still gets threats, and the extremist conspiracy theorists want him brought up on charges. It's too much.

I wasn't a big fan of meat, but I liked the hamburger patties they gave us at one school, for lunch. Worst food? Blancmange. It looked like something from The Bad Place, and tasted like it, too. Like a burnt pudding. Unless it was just that one school? I've looked it up, and nothing describes it as tasting like it was burned. In high school, I took my own lunch, and sometimes picked up a large scone, if I went in with my mum, from a cafe in the Uxbridge bus and train terminal. I'd eat part of it for breakfast, and the rest at lunch.

I used to love the deep pan pepperoni, from Pizza Hut, when it was a treat, on birthdays and holidays in England. When we were getting pizza all the time, after moving in with family over here, I really went off pizza, unless I get a craving for it. II like garlic butter dipping sauce, and breadsticks, but we usually don't get the latter. I'm also not a fan of where Papa John's sends donations, that's another reason I avoid a few places. the last pizza I liked, surprised me, because it came from Domino's. Our last order got messed up, a few months ago, and it was flat, barely anything to it. I ate it, because dad paid for it, but I didn't like it.

It’s my dad’s day off, so I’m showering, and getting out of here. I haven’t been able to go out all week. He did the rest of the dishes. I’ve been fighting them for weeks, it feels like, but that’s partly because it took me a week to get the dishwasher going (twice). I’ve just remembered a few books I wanted from the library, too. The last three from a series I started reading a year ago, by Susan Cooper? I need to look them up again.

Gisele Pelicot is my person of the year. I can’t even imagine being in her situation.

I pointed this out on Facebook, the other day. :) I’d like him to stop talking about invading your country, but the electoral votes wouid be really nice. 😆

Every single politician who stood against certifying Biden’s election, and encouraged the January 6th rioters, should have been charged with domestic terrorism. That includes Josh Hawley, who ran for his life. MAGA were talking about it being a revolution, and then blamed antifa. The party of self-responsibility, is always pointing fingers. Now we have them salivating over court martial of people like Liz Cheney, and Milley (for not turning the military onto the country, and speaking out against a coup, in advance). And on a different note: as a survivor of violence, from both a man, and a woman, I’d like to see the so-called protector of women, act like one. It won’t happen, obviously, because he doesn’t give a shit about violence against girls and women.

I remember it. One sister marrying the ex-husband of another. Ashley Judd as a teenager.
