Just now looping back to this three months later and...you are 100% correct.  Outside of the amazing quality, walking upstairs to move the laundry to the dryer, without dragging a 6-foot cord is such an oddly-freeing feeling.  My only complaint is that no headphones can get as loud as I want.  This is a good thing,…

I’m terrible about checking in on my Kinja stuffs (obviously), but since August, I successfully grew a nice flush of Golden Teachers. It’s...surprisingly and insanely easy. I would NEVER advise anyone on how to do anything that’s not 100% legal...but, if you want to DM me on Twitter, I could give some completely hypo…

You are correct. I self-treat with psilocybin about every 6 weeks (for about a year now), and it does wonders, for me at least. Part of PTSD due to prolonged trauma (a horrifically abusive spouse, in my case) is your brain shuts down all emotion, good and bad. When I take mushrooms (or LSD), I finally get to feel…

This “special needs” kid is guilty of nothing more than being a teenager and having more intelligence and insight than most of the adults she has had the misfortune of dealing with. SHACKLES?? Are you fucking kidding me? She’s not a serial killer - she is the victim of a system that is fundamentally broken, top to…

When Charlie Kelly is smarter than the people supposedly in charge...we are fucked.

These ghouls are so fucking far-removed from reality, it’s astonishing. If this is what money does to people, I’ll continue to make do with my 175% of the FPL, thank you very much.

Wait - I’ve been drinking in a corner for weeks (months? years? who can keep track anymore?). May I continue drinking in my corner, or must I relocate to a different corner? On one subject, there is no question - there will be alcohol (and edibles) consumed.

JFC, those in charge of “justice” are completely unfamiliar with the concept.  And even my small-city, typically shitty newspaper knows better than to deadname someone in 2020.  Here’s an idea: when someone has a potentially-fatal medical condition, maybe check up on them every 30 minutes or so?  Oh, wait - that would…

25 years ago, I came to the conclusion that all branches and forms of religion are equally divisive and completely bonkers. I’ve found being a kind and honest person, not to avoid avoid damnation, but because my one chance at a life should be used to leave this world at least 0.00001% better than when I arrived,…

How...exactly...does one apologize for being racist? I mean, one says that shit because one believes it, because it’s an intrinsic part of who they are.  I mean “I apologize for getting caught showing my hateful true self in public.  Although I have not changed who I am and will continue to be a bigot, I will try to…

Seriously: FUCK COPS. Cruel, violent people are drawn to a profession where they are permitted to be cruel and violent without consequence. Bodycams are a complete joke - they should be on, always, with no ability for them to be turned off until they are turned in at the end of their shift. If they are so goddamned…

I really appreciate your ongoing strong and insightful journalism. I can’t pretend to understand how scary and...sad (a completely inadequate word) it is like to be a black American, so I will give support without lame words.  I have, though, experienced a couple of decades of mental health struggles, along with an…

I caucused for Bernie, voted for Hillary.

If you enjoy marble racing, you MUST check out Hot Wheels/Matchbox racing. We drunkenly goofed over marble racing last Thanksgiving and xmas (we are not an exciting family, obvs), but discovered this new and amazing experience about 3 days into quarantine. I joke that, if this had been a thing when my college senior…

Honestly...can I just CTRL-Z from this world? Despite our collective best efforts - supporting progressive candidates, mobilizing, opposing...our kids are left with a complete, fucking nightmare.

I was inspired to rewatch Hell or High Water, and damn - you are right. Ranking of White Chrises:

I did that very thing today (Entering my bank info on the eftps site), and was successful. Because I’m me, I went to the IRS publication to make sure I hadn’t made a typo and stumbled onto a phishing site. :) I didn’t get the benefit from any prior stimuli due to the delinquency of student loans, but have since been…

Since you seem to have done the research (thank you!), is there a way to update the banking info submitted on one’s 2018 return? I’m now divorced and signed that account over to my ex and have a new one of my own - I sure don’t want that money to go to that account! :)

Once again, I am ashamed to live in this state. Oh, I long for those days in the 90s when we had a very awesome Dem as governor!!

He was such a gross motherfucker. Would always come up behind you and say hello by slowly rubbing your lower back. It was horrid.
