Reading today that pentagon officials are expressing concern over the depletion of military stockpiles due to the "military intervention " in Iran.

How long before they realize there is a ready made workforce in the DHS detentions camps to backfill those stockpiles?;

Ballentine Books.

I read all the books on WWII in the 60s and 70s.

All the amazing things the Allies did to win the war. Military tech was cool.

I was gung ho to join the military.

Then there was Viet Nam. Summer of ' 68.

I learned war isn't glory.

War is death and destruction.

We forget?

Unbalanced.

Probably a bad take

Men's slicked back hair styles make me think: yup there's a wanna be alpha male right winger.

May be an unpopular take but I think acoustic guitars with a cutaway are just wrong.

Ok now. I just saw a post, and I dont know the veracity of the post, that said that a song constant replaying in one's head is a sign of ADHD or autism.

Well this morning it was a Beatles tune then later some Jean Michel Jarre and now Flock of Seaguls and...

Oh Hell I'm toast

One problem of being a history major is when I have to research for a paper I find so many rabbit holes I want to go down and research but can't 'cuz I'm on deadline and have to get the paper done.

*Bing* "your flight boards in two hours"

What the...

Check. Damned corporate travel agency didn't cancel my reservations like I asked them too.

*canceled flight hurriedly*

Prolly gonna get hit with a charge.

Damned corporate travel.

Of course, delay in Artemis II launch didnt help.

If you're fortunate enough to know some trans people good for you! Please contact them all today and make a point to tell them you're here for them and you will help if they need it. And wait for an answer, you may save a life I'm not kidding. If you will help me with this thank you, please repost.

Modular is a black hole that sucks you in. There is no stopping it.

My module count has doubled in size.

On the other hand, think of what you can do! I've got 4 VCOs, 3 LFOs and 3 sequencers, plus all the modulating decices.

I feel like a mad scientist at times.

Will all the trans girls who own a synthesizer raise their hand?

And those who are planning on owning a synthesizer join in.

Including those who dream of owning one.

It's sometimes hard to reflect on the decisions one makes earlier in life.

Why didnt I figure out who I was earlier?

But I cannot.

The decisions made me who I am today.

I don't want to change that.

I like who I am today.

Trans folk face this "regret".

Don't.

Be who you are right now.

I continue to be amazed at how many democrat congress folk will vote yes on anything the trump administration puts forth. Bills. Nominations. Anything.

Not that I'm against bipartisanship.

But this administration has one goal: agrandizing and enriching trump. Full Stop.
