Fuck I'm so tired.

Tired of working my ass off year after year, in so many contexts, and being continually unappreciated.

Tired of paying taxes to this shithole country so it can oppress people around the world (and at home).

I just want a break from the nonsense, and some peace & fucking quiet.

Thanks, New Yorker

A nap would also be very welcome.

I am desperately in need of social interaction with people who are not A) self-centered animation-obsessed autistic children or B) mostly incoherent aphasic elders suffering from dementia.

I miss feeling a sense of community that extended beyond the a few small corners of the internet.

If you ever think "I should save this for my kids. They will want it one day".

No. Stop. Bad. No!

If they did not actually say "I want this", they don't want it.

Purge your shit for the good of everyone.

Apparently all in a (Satur)day’s work:

Doing laundry, heating up dinner for my MiL, while simultaneously handling work tech support issues via text message for a customer whose sound system was down. Again.

See numerous previous skeets about needing a godsdamned vacation.

America's favorite pastime (being useless in the face of evil)

Thank you. Elder care is really difficult, often thankless work.

My partner’s mom cognitive ability has been declining steadily for the last two years, but it hit an inflection point recently and started getting really bad.

Thanks. I'm trying my best.

Hopefully the situation in our home will improve slightly, soon. (Mother-in-law with Alzheimer's induced dementia is going into memory care in the not distant future.)

This is assault.

White supremacy is not a “legitimate view.”

Vilifying migrants is not “reasonable debate.”

Eugenics is not a “controversial belief.”

Genocide is not a “justified action.”

These are all examples of violent racism. We should recognise this basic fact and reject such politics unapologetically.

So deeply fucking tired, demoralized, and frustrated.

I need much more (non-working) time to myself.
I need time and energy for fitness and self-care.
I need more actual quality time with my partner.

I am holding out a tiny sliver of hope that these things might see day happen. Maybe soon?

Good gods, am I glad for the arrival of the weekend!!

The weekend will involve a substantial bit of child/elder care, but at least I (probably?) won't also be doing pro audio tech support for customers over the weekend.

If I'm really lucky, I may be able to fit in some time for luthiery work.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE stands for "Institute of Cleansing Ethnicities"

Call it what it fucking is. What's being done right now is, actually, without any level of exaggeration, ethnic cleansing.

did a bot conduct this survey

[Interior, FBI Crime Lab, Scully & Mulder look over The Grinch's corpse in the autopsy room]

Scully: Odd, his heart appears to have been 3 sizes larger than normal, but there's stretch marks on his aorta, as if it grew suddenly. What could've done this?

Mulder: Not what, who. Cindy Lou Who.

On a happier note, I just had a 20-minute-long back yard lightsaber battle with my 8-yr-old son, and that sort of fulfilled some needs, I think?

I should probably do more play-fighting/rapier sparring. But I'm not gonna go whole hog & join SCA, and HEMA's probably a bit too intense for me.

Ik this too shall pass but, holy fck

I keep writing and deleting angry skeets.

I am out of spoons, out of fucks, and out of patience.

I am deeply lonely, and extremely weary of constantly meeting other people's needs and wants day after day, while almost never getting to take care of my own needs or wants.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
