What isn’t on fire is flooding. What isn’t flooding is frying under an unrelenting sun. Or quaking. Or collapsing. Or sitting in the path of a hurricane, meteor, monsoon, typhoon, contagion, or oppressively monstrous tyranny. Pick one or many. The world as we knew it is blowing apart all around us and where does the … Continue reading : in this whelmed world :

: dear mr. trump :
It’s already been 97± days. Please, don't forget to build your wall. Build it high and build it mighty. But don’t stop at the southern border, keep going. Surround America with cement and barbed wire, electrify every centimeter, add guard stations and land mines, spend trillions and zillions of dollars. Cost is no object. Put up a … Continue reading : dear mr. trump :
: surviving a weaponized Liberace :
The constant drama and bomb-throwing; the tastelessness and ostentation; the hair-proud flamboyance; the glittery distractions. It’s too much stress for me. So I’m in a self-imposed exile from the Internet and television and DJT. I’m simply worn out. The fuming over foolishness I can’t stop and can’t possibly fathom is too exhausting. If the last … Continue reading : surviving a weaponized Liberace :
: don’t bother with long term plans :
We won't be here long. In less than one week, a single unstable, self-absorbed individual has shoved civilization closer to annihilation. One person. Thanks to Donald Trump, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists today moved the Doomsday Clock ahead by thirty seconds. It now stands at 2½ minutes to midnight. The Republican Party, meanwhile, does nothing. They … Continue reading : don’t bother with long term plans :
: this isn’t about politics, anymore :
This is about sanity. Boycotts and threats and malicious disinformation abound; hatred, backlash, and vengeance are the new order of the day. What is going on? We need to get a grip and soon. Kellogg’s, provider of Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes, is the newest addition to an ever-growing list of targets. Know why? They pulled their … Continue reading : this isn’t about politics, anymore :
: okay, I’m on to this now :
Ask anyone, I’m no stranger to peculiar thinking. It’s sort of my normal, so I’m comfortable with crazy. Except in a President-elect. Then it’s scary. Have you noticed when the media turns up the heat on Trump’s numerous and far-reaching conflicts of interest, the financial irregularities, the tax dodging shenanigans, actual newsworthy stuff, he tweets … Continue reading : okay, I’m on to this now :
: on my to do list :
I gave him a week, but he’s still an unhinged megalomaniac. Even worse, Donald Trump is simply inescapable. I don’t watch the news; I don’t listen to the news; I don’t visit news websites. So how come I know he’s hiring and firing, he’s deporting and revoking and scaring the world? Because he's a disaster and … Continue reading : on my to do list :
: I’m above this :
Eleven soaring floors above, if you’re counting. The move is officially complete. Every single thing I own, silverware to sofa, was schlepped up here in a freight elevator over the course of three long, exhausting days. And I have the bruises to prove it, they’re everywhere, even my rib cage. My muscles are strained, my … Continue reading : I’m above this :
