Admit it
you always kind of wondered
what you would have done
had you been alive
during the dark times
of the previous century,
and now that you are here
during the dark times
of the current century
you have your answer,
how horrible it is
to have that answer.

This reminds me of the time in '15 when TN spent millions to test 16k+ food stamp recipients, assuming they'd find massive welfare fraud. They caught 37 people. Super efficient use of taxpayer funds.

For the record, by "altered mindset," I meant I was stoned & had the munchies. 🤣 I suppose pickles were a relatively harmless choice when I wanted to eat the whole fridge.

Having a hard time. It's like I'm too depressed to see past tomorrow, much less weeks & years out. Fairly certain that's capitalism's plan, but here I am.

Un-decoraring the tree is always a little sad.
Time must move on, the Wheel must turn for us to grow. But the warm twinkle is always a little too brief.

Oh, you prefer sweet pickles? Or cucumbers are too carb-y?

Same. Twitter was never my thing, even before it was ruined. But I'm trying it out.
