let's talk about tsf's PHYSICAL decline.

the fart jokes have a joy, and also very, very politically damaged.
but they r also a sign of his absolute decrepitude. falling asleep in court, same.
want to talk about age? ppl do loves them some numbers. put a number on something and all shades of grey evaporate. so let’s talk about health. he’s dying. he does not have long.
we need more video of joe on his bike, etc. the contrast at this point will b a lot more stark than golf cart v peloton. which shd have been enough to make this an issue. instead we got jokes about it.

but honestly, i hate to see a sick, crazy old man in the dock. if it was almost anyone else, we wd b appalled. he rly shouldnt b there. i hope the judge orders a psyche eval. i’ve said many times i’d rather see him in a locked ward than prison.
it’s both more just and a more important lesson for humanity about the nature of evil.

eta the illustrated, short version.

and also to say- i think the judge will order an eval. it’s that or jail. he’ll have to do something.

joe biden is just ransacking the fed govt for shit to fix.

and not little shit, either. this isnt proclaiming national apple pie day. this is impactful rule making.
a lot of ppl have been screaming about those chemicals since the beginning of our teflon coated world.
i remember my mom getting one of the 1st teflon frying pans. a big 1 she used to make fried chicken.
it was great for a while, but it broke down quickly. she had a home remedy for getting the grime out of the coating that involved boiling water and an onion.

parrot owners have known forever that it kills birds. and that it does, indeed, outgas. it still breaks down w repeated use. knew someone who had used an elec rotisserie a hundred times, til the day it killed her african grey.
we also knew that the workers had a high rate of infertility and fetal deformities, and of course, cancers. weird cancers.

but no one in dc gave a shit til now.

just think what he’ll do if we give him 4 more yrs, and a super majority?

i dont think this will pass, but the protest that blocked traffic to o'hare the other day

rly pissed off a lot of ppl. the pro-hamas ppl r planning a big protest at the convention. nobody wants another 68.
i have a couple friends who jumped on this stupid train. i told 1- i dont want to embarrass our nominee. she- #notmynominee. after i said he’s doing everything he can to solve this mess, she went w ‘homelessness’. me- rly 15 m jobs, forgiveness of student loans, and u think fewer ppl have homes?

i know cps will b loaded for bear. their shit wont fly. but i sure wish they wd wake tf up.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — After protesters blocked a major traffic artery into O’Hare International Airport this week, an Illinois State Representative has proposed legislation that would make similar demonstrations a felony.

The demonstration Monday by Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the I-190 ramp toward O’Hare’s domestic terminals, causing major traffic delays in the area and frustrating travelers.

On Wednesday, Rep. Dan Ugaste, a Republican from Geneva in Chicago’s western suburbs, filed legislation aimed at amending the Illinois Public Demonstrations Law. Ugaste represents Illinois’ 65th House District.

so, i've never made any kind of beg here for myself. this isn't rly 1 either, but it is. updated.

i will b doing the mswalk may 19th, in northbrook, il.
if u r inclined to help, pls go read my pitch.

https://events.nationalmssociety.org/participant/525188

ok, eta my pitch-

i’m walking toward a world free of ms

because this cruel disease stole my sister.

my sister patty passed away in 2018 after a decade in a nursing home, and a life under it’s shadow. dx’d after the birth of her 2nd child, she thankfully spent most of the next 20+ yrs in remission. but she never had another child. she dared not try to combine work and motherhood. and when she returned to the workforce once her son was an adult, it reared it’s ugly head. it took about a decade to fully disable her. it took a toll not only on her body, but her brain. her initial admissions to care were in the locked ward.

i walk w my dearest of friends, roberta miles, because she too lives in the shadow of this beast. but she does it with a style and grace that mostly able bodied me can only dream of. she sings, she tells stories, she makes art, she teaches, she produces several long running shows, including loose chicks monologue group. i had the pleasure of making my debut as a storyteller w the chicks at my urban farm, moah’s ark.



fortunately, roberta has had access to treatments that did not exist when my sister could have benefited from them. but she still struggles.

i want a world free of ms for her, and for every one who has to face this cruel killer.

i'm glad this case is going 1st. remind everyone he cheated his way in in the 1st place.

so much has gone down the memory hole. all this shit was known by anyone who cared to pay attention. and everything that came after.
it’s good to start at the beginning.

ok, great male singers. here's mine

justin townes earle has something i aspire to- u can hear the look on his face in his voice.
good example-



my teach thought this was a crazy idea, til i made him watch this.
in a million yrs i couldn’t b the guitar player he is. and tho i’m a pretty good writer, i’d never touch him as a song writer.
gonna try to b that good a singer tho.
