In which there’s a lecture. When your business is open each day only because your staff are getting the rest of the food, shelter, and medicine they need to survive via charity because you’re not paying them enough to buy their own, it means either that you’re not a viable business because you cannot pay […]
In which I put this on Facebook the other day. Since it’s mine, I’m cross-posting here. To the many, many white people in my timeline confused about the football thing: Goodness, you really think these players are kneeling because they’ve been indoctrinated against toxic masculinity and/or wholesome American values? THEY’RE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS, for heaven’s […]
In which OMG SUPERMAD WHITE CHICKS. She appears to think that football is real, and not a massive for-profit performance. IT’S ENTERTAINMENT. There is no promise of safety from offense. Is it offensive? Sure, I guess, if you think football is real. Meekly, weakly, intentionally offensive. He’s doing it because it makes white ladies aghast; […]
In which I STILL don’t understand how people can know so little about the services they use. If you were the majority of Floridian customers I assisted during my shift at work this evening, you’ve just been through a massive 500-year storm that destroyed tons of shit, you either don’t have power or you’re running […]
In which there are styles of handwriting to look at. For no real reason, I’m trying to figure out which style of cursive I learned. I’m beginning to suspect that changing schools so often actually exposed me to multiple systems, because no single script style encompasses how I form my letters — D’Nealian, modified Spencerian, […]
In which I don’t really do this anymore. I used to read in bars all the time. Paper books in the day, then Newtons, PDAs, eBook readers, phones and Kindles. Most bars have at least some comfortable seating with a reasonable amount of light, and they have drinks, too, of course. Nothing better than a […]
In which I have a morbid new approach that really seems to be working. I have developed a new litany. Whenever there’s A Sensation my mind desires to become frightened of, I tell it this: You have a fatal, untreatable, inoperable disease. You are dying, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. You’re bound […]
In which it’s just random vacuous noise about the outer, but in my inner life weird shit is going on. Jai Ma! We went out to dinner yesterday at Little Tijuana. Tostadas! Today, I received new bath things! Before: (That is a color picture. Honest.) After: Way more teal than I expected, but hey, it’s […]
In which we’ve been trolled. In the middle of the night, the apartment suddenly exploded with white dust. It was probably between 2:30 and 3 in the morning. We were still up and the lights were on. There were three fans running, so it was everywhere, instantly. My guess is that some asshat stole a […]
