I have a french press, but it's stored in the earthquake kit, next to the hand coffee grinder. I'll pull the rubble off the crushed remains of the fridge to get my half & half.

He hasn't realized his wig is made out of pubic hair, you expect him to understand irony?
I wouldn't count on it.

I must be in the house alone, I must have loud music playing, and I must have nothing else specific to do. I don't have days like that now. My only "alone" day is Sundays, and that's when I do laundry and fix next work-week lunches. So no cleaning. I've been wondering why forever, and here it is, all laid out.

You ever have someone post a thing, and your brain connects it to something not-the-same in your own life?
I've mentioned going on cleaning jags - all day spent scrubbing and cleaning *everything*. I haven't done that for quite a while, years, and I just realized it's because it only happens in specific circumstances, and I don't have those now.

@RenoirDana @BZBrainz @audhd @actuallyautistic Yeah, you have to negotiate. I started stimming before my cancer. However, most of it was not visible to my ex-wife. I've always been stimmer seeking audio-visual stimulation. On the other hand, my ex-wife's ADHD evolved to make her avoid strobe light effects.

After my cancer I spend a lot of time in the living room listening to YT. She did not like the music, and she did not like the strobes that some music videos had. (According to her.) So I eventually got headphones and would listen to YT on my laptop. That meant that sometimes I wouldn't see the music video. But even when they are on the TV I don't always scrutinize all of them.

I'd put the music videos back on the TV when she was out of the house.

Alas, our marriage was already on the rocks (a good 2 years before my cancer) so that did not save it, but it did lessen the friction.

Beans ground in a stainless steel burr grinder, grinds put in a metal mesh basket, drip coffee maker into a thermal carafe, so the last bit is still hot without having to overcook the coffee on a warming plate. Half & half, not milk (too watery) or cream (too thick). No sugar.

All of Pompeii stands still when the horrifying screeches of Henry Kissinger are heard

There is an unspoken hierarchy of sexual identities under patriarchy with women and femininity being considered inferior and "bad," and everyone who is not a toxically masculine cis-het man gets kicked down into some level of the woman / inferior status as a matter of course, but instead of reckoning with the inherent misogyny of this system and trying to dismantle it, most people spend their time jockeying for position within it by punching down on someone else.

I learned one thing after my long journey. It's hard to find someone who shares your lifestyle. Don't drive yourself crazy. Somewhere there is a day, a moment and the right person is standing in front of you and has already packed his bags.

Dumpst's actions have *significant* consequences for international co-operative security, too.

Tiktok user "America_is_the_bad_place" pointed out that any country with intel operatives undercover will think long and hard before passing information pertaining to their intelligence agents to the USA again - including intelligence regarding the safety and security of the US.

Risk their own operatives and intel officers for a guy Americans elected[*] to lead them who's solely interested in being able to pimp his own power and status?

Uh, no.

And that will apply to the current administration too, however much they might approve/trust the Biden admin (rightly or wrongly). Who's gonna hand the US government anything while knowing there's a decent possibility that Dumpst might end up as pres again in the future and be just as casual with the lives of their agents and their information as he was with those documents?

Sorry, nope. Not gunna happen.

[*] Yes, I know how the US election system works. Yes, I am aware of its flaws. Yes, I know about popular votes and electoral colleges and how barely 50% of y'all vote and only a quarter of the country actually *chose* Dumpst.

HOWEVER after all the ballots were counted and the soundbites faded into silence, he was still the duly elected PotUS according to your system (even if it's broken).

And he very well could be again (cf. broken system). And that's a risk that other countries have to factor in.

I’ll ban churches and force clergy to attend drag brunch conversion.

If I have to prep for and then receive a colonoscopy, I firmly believe that that should be the worst part of my day.

And if I die as a result of a colonoscopy, it should either be because of a known side effect of the procedure or medical malpractice on the part of the doctor.

If I die weeks later, because the secretary decided to come to work sick, that strips me of the basic dignity of knowing who to haunt.

The far right vomitted attepts to tell their base the firestorms are a hoax, as selfish as monsters have ever been.

The excessive heat destroying forests, turning forest floors into kindling fire starter, has turned farmers soils into dust. Crops dead.
