At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone

Break is still on. Just wanted to take the new iPad for a spin. I’m doin’ alright. I’ve had about enough of winter and would really just prefer to hibernate like a bear for the next week or so, at least, but other than that, I’m… figuring it out.

Well, I got my keyboard to connect. This is marginally less annoying, but it’s definitely gonna take some getting used to. I can’t believe I used to tweet exclusively from my iPads. This feels… weird.

I’m definitely gonna have to get a stylus. I forgot how annoying this is. And my keyboard won’t connect via Bluetooth for some reason. Connects to my Mac Mini just fine, but won’t connect to this iPad.

Well, I’m posting from my shiny new iPad—well, new to me… it’s a refurbished 2020 model—and I have to say the Bluesky app SUCKS and I’m going back to the web UI immediately. I don’t know how y’all do this. GEEZUS.

Night, kids. If you don't see me around for a while, no worries... it just means I decided to take that break I've been pondering.
I'm alright... I'm on my way to alright. Life is what it is, for all of us, all the time. Right?!? Just keep singin' until ya believe it!

I just realized I haven't danced at all today. I should do something about that...

Do you get what I mean by this? I couldn't live a life that was about me. I couldn't have a social life. I couldn't date. I had very different priorities at that point. So to make it so I didn't resent not being able to do all that, I just got fat, so I could blame being unhappy on my weight.
I got fat again when I lived in Jacksonville. And I did it in part because my life could never be my own there... not really. I move there because my best friend got divorced... she needed help picking up the pieces of her life, raising her kids, and starting her business. That was my priority.

You know what's funny... when someone lies publicly to someone else that they're gonna unblock you—thinking you can't see the reply & to avoid seeming crazy—then they never unblock you.
People are super weird. And they're liars... most of them... who lie about weird shit that doesn't matter.

You know what... I like it. Here's our play:
We start our own propaganda op that both Jeffries & Schumer's staffs have been told to ignore ALL social media. Then we post phone numbers & tell mooks they have to CALL THEIR OFFICES.
Except the numbers are really to Johnson's & Thune's offices.

If your idea of "civic engagement" begins & ends with you yelling at people who feel the same way you do about everything that's happening and would stop it all if only they had the legislative power to, you're just a petulant child throwing a tantrum and you don't deserve to be taken seriously.

I haven't been sleeping great... waking up a lot all night. Last night I finally broke down & took some Benadryl. I slept much longer and don't remember waking up as much, but I feel like absolute ass today.
So... that's the trade off? Less sleep & feel better vs. more sleep & feel worse?!?

My mom also worked all the time & I was an only child, so there were no siblings there to tell on anyone for anything. Basically as long as we didn't burn the house down, no one got hurt, and she didn't get any calls from anyone's parents, my mom didn't give a shit. We were feral AF in the '80s.

Look, I know we've supposedly turned a whole #LetsTalkAboutIt & #SafeSpace corner these days, but I'm not sure we really need to reopen all the old Gen X wounds. Do we?!? 😜

I really do hate Tom Brady so much. It's a genuine, profound, heartfelt contempt. And it hasn't lessened at all since he retired.

I'm going to try to start this process this week. The sooner I get it done, the more time I'll have to focus on making the physical & psychological transition into my next act, even before I bounce from this house. And it would be nice to have time to do that.
And I will, if I manage this well.

True story. And it's because the whole B deal was always purely physical. So the older I get, the more my attitude becomes, "Eh... the odds of that dude being good enough a fuck to make it worth it ain't high enough. My body pillow never puts raw chicken on my kitchen counter. Soooo... "

I didn't realize this during the first fat stage of my life... I didn't have the knowledge or life experience. It was only after I spent some time in a thinner body that I understood how much less vulnerable I felt hiding behind the extra weight & regained it.
I don't need it anymore, though...

He's joking, right?!? Please do this, Canada. Or Mexico. Canada and Mexico. Or NATO member states... a coalition of some kind.
Seriously. Would it help you make the case to your own people if we started an online petition of some kind asking for this? Because we will. We'd be happy to.

That's what happens when women go into "mom mode". Once you decide "making sure these kids are alright" is your priority, things that used to matter just don't... yourself, least of all.
And, as it turns out, they don't even have to be your kids. They weren't my kids. But I gave them my 30s.

I sacrificed a lot to make other people's lives easier. And I built a wall around myself while I did it. If I kept the world out, I wouldn't come to resent not being able to carve out the place I deserved to hold in it. And I could just focus on doing what I decided was more important.

The frustrating thing about mediocre white guys like Adam here isn't just their profound ignorance; it's the confidence with which they say something so utterly nonsensical, coupled with the incredulous intransigence with which they insist they've "nailed it" and everyone else just doesn't get it.
