Every single time I've gone to post these past weeks my country - well, Trump - has committed another atrocity. I do a lot of trivial shit here at Steve. Nothing kills the inspiration to revel in trivial shit like global atrocities. I mean, I already had climate anxiety and now this constant barrage of....yeah, well.
I made the mistake of trying to divert myself by lurking on Reddit. THIS WAS A BAD IDEA. I'm going to go as far as to say that if you are prone to depression, avoid Reddit like the very plague. Not because of the site content so much as how Reddit operates; which is, like the actual fucking Borg. I have a lot to say about that, but for now I'll just say that it made my depression far worse, very quickly.
I'm on a news fast now, and I'm feeling better for it.
If the world goes to shit, I'll find out when the mushroom cloud rises over the horizon.
Bless you. The very best thing for your health is to avoid reading about, or listening to, anything that orange idiot ever says or does. Jx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon. We here at the El Apartmento are doing our best!
DeleteLet me near the fucking control panel!!!!! I will blow the bitch up like in the opening picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep hoping to wake up one morning to his obituary.
ReplyDeleteI do too. XOOO
DeleteI hear you, sweetpea! I unsubscribed to a few substacks for that very reasons. After a could of days I had to just say NO and like you, I'll know when I see the mushroom cloud. We need to keep each other in our hearts and remember that there are more of us than thegrifter and his cabal of vulgarians! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou're right, of course. XOO
DeleteI feel for my American friends...
ReplyDeleteLots of cyber hugs coming your way,"Steve" But I think you know that.
xx
Lots of cyber hugs to you!
DeleteIt's so hard. Every day it's a weight to carry and I'm so tired of it all. I wish I could say something helpful but all I can offer is commisuration. And a virtual hug.
ReplyDeleteA virtual hug back atcha. BTW I LOVE what you're doing in the garden! I backread and enjoyed your potting and planting adventures, and you know what, it brought me a lot of joy! XOO
DeleteWinston Churchill referred to his recurring bouts of depression as his "Black Dog" a faithful companion, sometimes out of sight, but always returning.
ReplyDeleteThat being said Churchill never took fools gladly and would have hated Trump and fucked him up one way or another.
I would have Loved to see Churchill fucking Donnie Two Dolls... just saying...
DeleteEw no. Poor Churchill had enough problems without dipping a dick into the cesspit of STD's that is Agent Orange!
DeleteI too have been in a very Bad Head Space and for similar reasons and how can we not be, with all that is going on? It's heavy and a LOT to unpack my Friend, so we must be Kind to ourselves and not bottom out if we can help it. I don't know what Reddit even is, which, judging by your critique, is probably a good thing. *Ha ha ha* I indulged in Retail Therapy this Weekend and went down in flames with it... whatever, as the World goes to shit what will it matter, Right? The Fuckery, well it burns. I find Bloggy Rants have been like a good Therapy for Yours Truly even if it's a tough Read for my Dear Readers... but, I do supply some Pretty Imagery and good Food Porn to offset my Rants. *Smiles*
ReplyDeleteYeah you do! I was drooling over the carnival goodies you bagged!
DeleteSchnuggele, let me give you a nice snörgelen ...
ReplyDeleteI could not write about the crap, all the yelling at the screen ... so I cut the news, I think The Mistress did something like that years ago to stay sane, good formula.
Let's just survive, eh ? We will still be there when the shitshow falters, just for fun.
*mwah*
As always, I love you unreasonably Mr. Mago. *mwah*
DeleteOne of my maids duties is to watch the news, so I don't have to and report back to me if there something I should know about, it saves all that effing and blinding at the telly and shaking with rage everytime I see Starmer or that trecherous, pantomine King.
ReplyDeleteShit; now I want a TV maid! DO YOU HEAR THAT UNIVERSE I WANT A TV MAID No I guess the universe did not hear me. Shit.
ReplyDeleteEverybody ought to have a maid
DeleteEverybody ought to have a working girl
Everybody ought to have a lurking girl
To putter around the house
Everybody ought to have a maid
Everybody ought to have a menial
Consistently congenial
And quieter than a mouse
Oh! Oh!
Wouldn't she be delicious
Tidying up the dishes
Neat as a pin?
Oh! Oh!
Wouldn't she be delightful
Sweeping out, sleeping in?
Everybody ought to have a maid
Someone who, when fetching you your slipper, will
Be winsome as a whippoorwill
And graceful as a grouse
Fluttering up the stairway
Shuttering up thе windows
Cluttering up the bedroom
Buttеring up the master
Puttering all around the house!

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
DeleteOf goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
And when the Legion boys come 'round
She always stood her ground.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys.
She always got her way when she struck for better pay.
She'd show her card to the National Guard
And this is what she'd say
You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me;
Get you a man who's a union man and join the ladies' auxiliary.
Married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife.
I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
DeleteYou just ask me ooh and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it, I've got it, yeah
I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
Jx
Same, same, only the trees know my real thoughts.
