It's World Mental Health Day.

I have type 1 diabetes, tinnitus, TMJ syndrome. It's tiring to also have to be a functional human. I have anxiety and depression; cycles of dark disturbing thoughts/scenarios.

I manage best I can: talk, rest, made health decisions over career decisions; avoid negative social media, people, subjects.

The 'black dog' strikes eventually, when least expected - and not just on a bad day/week.

It's OK not to be OK! 💙

We're aware of a fake BBC video circulating on social media falsely claiming that Bellingcat has verified Ukrainian weapons sales to Hamas. We've reached no such conclusions or made any such claims. We'd like to stress that this is a fabrication and should be treated accordingly. - Bellingcat

We are all broken in some way, we all have history and we are all works of art in our own way. Awareness day.

These things are pro-life:

-A living, thriving wage
-Universal healthcare & education
-Paid sick, family, & vacation time
-Generous maternity leave
-Safe neighborhoods
-Dignified housing
-Common sense gun laws
-Clean air, pure water, & fertile soil
-Green energy
-Peace
-Love

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a member of the Horatio Alger Society.

The society's membership includes several bank executives whose banks have been fined millions by the CFPB.

And now Thomas is poised to rule on the CFPB's existence.

Shameless Third-Party Plug:

If you have a few extra bucks lying around, consider throwing them 's way. That's even if you're already , helping out via Patreon each month, or both.

For my money, this is the best platform on the intarwebs, bar none. I myself find it near enough perfect, definitely worth helping keep the lights on and to pitch in for continued innovations and upgrades.

Front page of Chicago Tribune this morning, “tRump Rips AG, Judge at Fraud Trial”. If you’ve ever been involved in a trial in any way you know if you or I pulled that we’d be doing time. Meanwhile that waste of oxygen walks away without a slap in the wrist.

He won’t stop if no one demands he respect the system, and that is the backbone of the problem we have with him. Spoiled little Hitler wannabe has never been stood up to before and now he thinks he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Share this post if you’re a one issue voter, and that one issue is to vote out all Republicans from office forever.

I’m opening all this week at work, we open at 4:30 in the damn morning. Yesterday I was a couple minutes late and there were people waiting for me to get there. At 4 fucking 30 in the fucking morning! They hadn’t even been out drinking all night, they got up that early.

What’s the point of even bothering to go to bed when you get up that early? I go to bed when it’s still light outside so I can get up 3 hours before the sun to take care of customers who don’t ever seem to sleep.

Chicago Sun Times headline “People Trust Trump more than Biden on Economy”

My conclusion: People are fucking stupid.

Just an FYI, if you call a gas station at 5:30am for a tow and the person asks you to wait, wait longer than 2 minutes before hanging up. Chances are it was a cashier with a line of people waiting to be checked out so they can get to work and the boss is outside pumping gas and he has to be asked for a price.

Not every business you call can afford to have someone there to just answer the phone the entire time they are open.

I need help. I need work. It's going on five months my union has been on strike. And, I'm going down.

I'm a great writer. Prizes awards and everything. Yay!

If you know anyone looking for (paid) corporate video or film creation, scripting, production, or writing services, I would appreciate an introduction.

Thanks.

Spent the day with 3 of my cousins (I have a LOT (over 60) of first cousins, most of whom I don’t know), it was very nice. Always some stories of people I’m related to that I don’t know but most of the conversation was about aunts, uncles and parents when they were children. The stories they passed on to us that my cousins passed on to their children and now are passing on to their grandchildren and will be passing on to great grandchildren. It was a very nice day.
