2025 was the most negative year of my adult life, redeemed a little
by discovering new bands. #LambriniGirls
Joy as an act of resistance.
I was into the riot girl scene at 13 & utterly enchanted It feels like I have come full circle.
“It’s cuntology 101, bitch.”

Because, sometimes, it’s our #routine that #keepsusalive
The raw grief in this song but the unexpected catharsis.

And here’s your trivia for the day:

partly inspired by Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died in her apartment & was not discovered for over 2 years.

I have had 3 friends die this year due to alcohol/drugs. I am not anti-drug. I am however anti-dying-from-drugs. Please know your limits & please ask for help if it gets out of hand. Dharma & SMART recovery are 2 AA/NA alternatives.

Damn.
Accurate.

Personally I think Trump is more like Caligula than Hitler.

They started with that funeral.
Read his transcript.
The threat is veiled, but it is there.

As a country, we have forgotten our humanity.
Basic respect & concern for one another has been replaced. We’ve traded empathy for apathy — ‘If it’s not happening to me, why should I care?’”

Martin Niemoller had it right.

Massive perennials.

The surprise of the summer/fall

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Wtaf
I log onto social media & I instantly wish I hadn’t.

Trying to get my shit together while the world falls apart.

It dumbfounds me that this isn’t satire.
That this is the new normal.

Got one.
This is an OLDIE.
Todd Duncan, 1955. Covered by many, epic by few.
Paul Cauthen and Orville Peck are amongst the few.

Um, if I am supposed to post my playlist here, then here it is (warning you it’s AAAALLLLLL over the place).

YouTube video by TheVerveVEVO The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

Depression is like having a lead weight chained to my foot, Anxiety is like a vise in my chest, a cacophony in my head.

…current events & the people that support it all...it’s too much.

This video might trigger but it’s how I feel.
Spravato eval tomorrow.
#Spravato #TheVerve #Depression

Yes.
Mourning is a good word.
Grief stricken works, too.

This is just…
Heartbreaking.
As a kid growing up, I believed the lie that we lived in the land of the brave and free.
As an adult, it’s hard to reconcile “then” & “now”.

Next week I resume esketamine treatment. It was halted last December due to transportation issues. The nearest clinic was 90 miles away from where I live. My Dr. has opened one 30 miles away.

I LOVE cranking the volume up & just listen. Not multitasking, driving, to just be PRESENT. Hearing his voice soar makes my HEART soar.
I am so glad he is getting recognition for imparting the series with something SPECIAL.

The cover of the novel None Left to Tell by Noelle W. Ihli

Both a great and terrible book, None Left to Tell recounts the 1857 Mountain Meadow massacre orchestrated by LDS & blamed upon “the Indians”.
While engrossing & informative it was heartbreaking to read. #BookSky💙📚Nonelefttotell

I was prepared to scoff at either product or price but WELL DONE.
I am bookmarking that lol.

Desire, from the Sandman by Neil Gaiman Played by Mason Alexander

Watching The Sandman & though I am WELL past this episode, it is one of my favorite images of Desire, because just look…undeniable beauty. Mason Alexander is perfect.

Neil Gaiman just HAD to be a sleazeball in real life 😑

Glitter.
The herpes of the craft aisle.

Still finding glitter on things in my kids room from 10 years ago 😆
