The Queen of Open Heart surgeries/Aortic dissections/strokes. I'd NEVER vote for a fascist. I am the quiet one working over in the other corner while everyone else is distracted with bullshit. I host & write for several blogs & websites that pay me $0.00.

So the argument against running the govt as a business when WE ARE THE CUSTOMERS SERVED IS SIMPLE

NOT EVERYTHING PROFITABLE HAS SOCIAL VALUE JUST LIKE NOT EVERYTHING WITH SOCIAL VALIE IS PROFITABLE.

We're actively erasing ALL our influence in the world & making AMERICAN CUSTOMERS (YOU) PAY FOR IT

I think about this often. How fucking SHITTY my parents were that I waited until I was LEGALLY ALLOWED TO LEAVE without being brought back by the police which was 18. I always had a job in high school & with 2 roommates, $133 was easy to get. That same place is 6 TIMES the cost. We are FUCKED. 🤯

NEVER in our history has shit ratched DOWN in price. Once the oligarchs see WHAT YOU WILL WILLINGLY PAY, those tariffs become a non-factor & the cost just gets tabulated to PROFIT if they ever disappear. I mean, you all fucking realize this, right? My $400 1995 rent as a high school senior is PROOF.

I took it all off my phone & keep it on a laptop only. Not only do i see more than one post at a time, I have to MAKE A CHOICE to open it up or sit here on my desktop to interact with the world, but I do it pretty infrequently compared to many. I have spotify on my phone, that's my limit to media. 😉

I'm gonna guess that an unvaccinated family would also REFUSE any other mitigations since they have decided to wing it & leave it to Jesus. Letting unvaccinated people in to then infect the DR treating vaccinated patients bc they would refuse masks is not a compromise, it is deadly wrong.

I use social media as a cheerleader & to celebrate things w/people who ask for love & I just thought I would give you my comment. I know it sucks not to feel like you are getting any monetary satisfaction from your endeavors, but it's a rare thing to get, a person truly LOVING what they do for $. 😉

deanna @scarsandhearts.bsky.social · 2h

I know-I ENCOURAGE. I get paid for none of me so I've had to recalibrate my expectations. I'm an ivy-league educated dog walker now 😆who has had a blog online since 2001 & I write for several other sites I own for $0 so if I had to use income to justify my existence it'd be a really sad one to use.😉

That just means your brain is stronger than your body still bc it is your brain telling your body to get up now. Absolutely a thing to celebrate bc one day your body might truly win that battle & you will oversleep without the reminder.😉

The Olympics might be feasible if CA unites to keep ICE out. The world cup can move some of the games to CANADA & MEXICO which clearly would be safer. JFC there are world cup games scheduled for fcking TEXAS,GEORGIA & FLORIDA, like that isn't a joke on everyone who loves soccer. It's NOT SAFE at ALL

They have several models under $10k. The US is now a non competitor. Those tariffs & the ass kissing of the oil & car industries to HERR TRUMP are the reasons Americans WILL NEVER SEE cars that cheap here. NOT EVER.

Ok that is pretty terrifying. I dunno what I would do if I was a slightly nervous kid. 😉

These sadly are the PENULTIMATE examples of who your government wants young men to grow up to be, all mini Charlie Kirks & worse & certainly you'll NEVER hear the government say ANYTHING criticizing young Republicans. They are INFALLIBLE. & the President likes to tell us how much he HATES DEMS DAILY

We moved from CO to VA in 20 & I haven't made an IRL friend since 18. Looking at CO & VA being so close makes me realize the the possibility of me making a friend here harder to even imagine in a fantasy scenario. I moved to Denver from Jersey City in 11-THAT was HARD-I'll NEVER have a friend again😢

All I can think is how useless our police TRULY ARE if we have so many mexican gang members running rampant freely terrorizing citizens. To suggest the FED needs to come in should mean all police departments in that area get released from their duties since they failed to protect the public. 🤔

Is he TRAITOR AIDER #1? Just a reminder to everyone that HISTORY will remember the names as we now live in a world where we have it all & there are MANY of us keeping records. Hero or Traitor is a choice people can make for THEMSELVES. We now see how the weakest men make the easiest choices for THEM

We like to say money isn't everything but when it is your ONLY REASON to do something, then maybe your motives are not sound.

$ doesn't mean much when your legacy is shit. You have left something beyond your current sack of flesh to influence the world which is a kind of success most who just collect scads of $ cannot ever attain. If you get to INFLUENCE anything, there is success there, you just have to flip your brain.😉

All I'm thinking after reading this is how I read VERY EARLY on COVID can linger in hospital rooms 13 hours so I brought in my OWN medical grade filtration for 3 open heart surgeries with many week hospitalizations since COVID started. I was insistent & all I got for my efforts was no COVID EVER.

I like to watch a lot of native settlement YOUTUBE videos a la Desert Drifter, and the one thing that is universal across all the settlements is THERE ARE NO PEOPLE ANYWHERE NEAR AT ALL. THEY LIVED IN THE DESERT BUT clearly do not fucking anymore for a fucking reason. Maybe bc it is INHOSPITABLE! 😉

The last time I loved baseball was when Bernie WIlliams played. I am that fucking old, but what is sadder to say is that was the last time I was in Yankee Stadium was to see him. Haven't been to another field since. Hmm. Not gonna change here.

Can we all just admit those little big oval of nothing air purifiers are the biggest fucking scam there is? My HEPAS get traumatized w/the soot, pet dander & general dust balls & there is NO WAY THOSE THINGS DO WHAT MY HEPA DOES. What do they do, nuke the particles to another space/time? COME ON! 🤯

You have to MAKE it to the age to be a mom. Forgive my incredulity this below will be not the exception but the rule with so many kids hotboxing COVID on top of this measles thing we NEED TO BRING BACK. Look at how much fun it can keep bringing antivaxxers:

For Some Kids, Measles Becomes a Time Bomb With No Cure

The inevitably fatal condition develops in one in 600 infant cases, and appears without warning between four and eight years later, like a bomb that has been tick, tick, ticking.

WTF is this new trend. We used to miss our turn vs INCONVENIENCE THE WORLD but now we have new rules running things where I see people DRIVE through no enter signs, take lefts from the right lane & just turn around on double yellows AIN'T NO THANG, NOBODY WILL STOP ME. & they don't-COPS ARE USELESS!

Dinner done by 7 for the first time in WHO KNOWS, but I shelved the casserole until tomorrow & did a little beef pot pie from ALDI & a spinach salad instead. Changing your mind isn't a bad thing & made my life easier so I did. NBD. For those changing your minds mid-turn on the road JUST NO-go AROUND
