Barring the discussion of metrics, – like – they’ve all done it but – I’ve not heard a president ever say the soft things so out loud and for it to fall so silent.

It seemed like things in the forum were moving around like that water island scene in the Hunger Games. It’s all better now. Of course, it could always be me.

I have a long history of Depression/Anxiety/ADD[I don’t care what you call it or don’t believe – live a week with me]

At first I liked it, now I’ve almost got stuff cleaned, which should feel more awesome. I mean, I can only write and draw so much, but without feedback, it’s almost worse. True, FB has us on that slot-machine serotonin stuff, but I’m naturally antsy. I mean, I think I was more prepared than most until I *gasp* I realized I needed human contact. The masks are creeping me out – I wear it – but – I’m excited for Vox Populi. I forgot it was Friday!

I had to thumbs up out of habit and to prove I’m not insane? I don’t remember her doing much of anything.

Meanwhile, in Iran, because I just thought to check in, it’s still Iran…

Preaching to the choir but [and remember he’s a Saint here in Arizona] John McCain started it with Sarah Palin [Michael very sure to say no relation]. The asshattery has been with us forever but her and Donald at Sbarros is more prescient than the infamous Correspondents’ dinner to me.

AmIright though? Yeah got that. It’s like almost one of your things. I mean, we hardly knew the last one. Also, is there floss and bleash for computers? I’ve been cleaning lately just because I forget about this kind of crap on my desktop. Were even it just portraits by George W Bush…

It’s Muslim, though in Arabic, fun fact it can be Moslem as well m-ls-m [oh those Semitic tri roots, they at least make more sense than Turkish. I still want to tackle Turkish and the book taunts me and even the word for Urdu is Turkish/ik/ish and still all I can do is tell you how not to say Erdoğan]

I’ll explain if anyone want’s to learn how to write right-to-left cursive with no vowels! It makes learning it awesome! Seriously, I’m bored, and it’s not the scrpit that’s hard. The Arabs developed it, but it’s a lot easier to read in Farsi and Urdu for me, though I’m very rusty, if my life depended on it, I could read it. I remember in the real life Argo, the real mission, one of the spies almost gave himself away reading the local paper, probally Kayhan, the Pravda of Iran still there today – as is Pravda sort of halfway.

I’m actually very white, and not Muslim (though one can be – ask a Bosnian, etc), it’s just a moniker I took on about almost twenty years ago reading about Zoroastrianism. – It’s like don’t get me started, just ask simple questions [same goes for Islam, Hinduism, and I’m pretty proficient in a the other major ones, but would say my expertise is in Middle Eastern and South Asian stuff – as a lay person, albeit].

I was always the most popular kid at school. 😉

I’ve never rooted for a Center right politician so hard in my life as Angele. I know I have one, maybe another at least, besides you who are going to be watching Germany.

My theory on Orban, is, like, Lukashenko, he just doesn’t kiss ass, so Trump doesn’t care. Therefore, we don’t care. I’m giving Pompeo a little credit, and I would like to hear more, if we’re moving Belarus away from Russia a little.

I actually know a few slavic linguists I should ask. It was a sketchy source – but I could buy something right for all the wrong reasons without Trump or us knowing.

It’s like I can’t delete this, but I just saw the latest reality press secretary and it reminded me of that reality show with Paris Hilton.

What gets me about this is I reach out, and thank goodness I have a couple friends. But it makes me miss having someone else, like a special lady around. I had my parents to my apartment last night for about 20 minutes – 20 mins to avoid contact. And even were I to have a significant other, she couldn’t hug me, as I’m still recovering. But at least … I dunno. I’m an introvert and made slight jabs at first, but even if I get lonely – which I’ve been all my life – but – shit, nothing. I’m not at call center level or about to knock myself off, but I wish even a pet store were open so I could buy even a goldfish to talk to sometimes because I’m about to go bananas. Is is sunny? And Arizona? – I could deal with that weather stuff right now. Or at least the illusion I might go to the local bar and might pick up a lady. I mean, it wouldn’t happen, but I used to have that illusion? I”m about to say all politics can [I’m keeping it clean and of course fuck Trump], but I’m just like about to – at least I had the option of going to my Unitarian church – prolly would have put it off, but I had the option. Tomorrow I am hiking though, no one can take that away, but I need to take it easy on the trail and not go full force like I used to.

We always wanted a businessman. First off, Trump is not a good or even mediocre businessman. But yeah, duh, projecting as always, we have MBS as the greatest, most temendous Muslim in common. It was one thing when it was a matter of State, rather than a matter of personal finance – oh look at that Ivanka bag!

If Iran let Tump build a crappy hotel even on Kish Island, we’d have a tremendous deal with Iran. Except for, I actually like Iran, in that they are fundamentalists, but they would say get lost. It’s a weird position for me to take and a hypothetical, but you know it could be any one who kisses his ass.

I like the Chinese, they are pragmatic. India is doing a bit too much lately under the BJP. If they play it right, Trump could become a Hindu and bring the pillow guy with him.

I feel like I’m in the Rubik’s Matrix of Inception waiting for a flash flood of algorithms. I’ll assume I messed up somehow. Only for once sorry about it?

Pointing this out to them is like telling someone to calm down. I’m keen on FP, as you may know about me, and it’s not – well, I don’t have to explain it here. It’s old Soviet stuff though – with the internet.

That being said, Biden needs to address this. Like in an Obama like speech. In fact, though I distrust the actors puching this, I want answers. I think Biden is just once of those chummy guys and it doesn’t pass the smell test, but you need to confront this right now.

It saves me a lot of time. I’m naturally inclined to disagree, but I can move on to other things.

Il’ll start off with art. I honestly don’t care anymore. I was never near death and it’s been a month so I’m feeling better, but this whole period has liberated me a little. I don’t care much any more. Who knows maybe I’ll become the next to monetized YouTube star. 😉

See, I miss the Planet because, yeah, all that. Don’t get me started on the Bernie people… I was watching Krystal Ball on the Hill the other day and I want to just hit my head into the wall undtil I pass out.

Orban goes largely unnoticed somehow. Also, Angela Merkel is stepping down soon and AfD scares the Scheiße out of me.

I’ll admit Arundhati Roy can go a little too far – that’s her thing. But the Modi Hindutva agenda is using this crisis to further suppress Indian-Muslims

A lot of people are upset about Biden on the woke left.

Sorry, but Trump, Biden and even Bernie are all 80 something white men.

That’s my head scratcher. The Vice Presidential pick could not be more important.

People are saying it should be a woman of color, I agree, but the more pressing issue is this:

I’ll take anyone likely to have still have a pulse in four to eight years.

Last I was here I was thinking about something on India under Modi or Cascadia… I don’t know if I still feel that, but for god sakes, Israel finally formed a government after a year of elections and tornados and stuff but Covid-19 all day 24-7. I mean, of course it forms the backdrop for everything, but I’m bored of the briefings – even from Cuomo and Newsom. Like, I wouldn’t mind a good old fashioned war or pretty blonde girl kidnapping at this point of being hit over the head with it. They tried with Kim Jong Un – and maybe I should write about North Korea because I’ve watched enough documenteries and even want to go there for the state run ‘Disney/Jurassic Park’ tour.

In any case, I’ve been busy cleaning and such. I mean, it sucks because, I’m an introvert so the only thing that has changed is that I feel like an old soul talking to people adjusting. It’s comforting in a way though. Like, I’m not missing out on anything? If that makes sense?

Anyhoo, I just did this painting with the paints and brushes I have left …and it doesn’t matter because I forgot how to upload images here again…

So, hey y’all. I’ve been meaning to come back. I won’t lie I got another month in Facebook jail. But, I also cought that thing and the world is all weird now Facebook or not. I mean, spent the past five days just in bed. I’d love to know eventually if I’ve develeoped an antibody. I had the flu shot and the timing and dry cough and off and on and foggy thinking. If it’s psychosomatic that would be something, cause whilst I was never near death, it’s a sneaky little bastard.

Any case, even before I got banned again (which let’s be honest, I kinda did on purpose – basically telling the ‘Liberate’ people to just die already – sorry, not sorry)

I started toying around with my own “Fun with Flags” – though I’m by know means about to become a YouTube star. If anything, people are pretty anonymous on the Planet so I don’t know the ethos. I don’t care if you see my face and hear my voice, unless that is somehow not kosher or verboten?

Before Iran, I was into India. Modi needs to be added to Trumps fascist friends.

*forgive my grammar. You grow up with teachers…

My parents were tried and true members of the WEA – the Washington union for educators. They went to one and were disgusted. Of course, Washington also has a primary, or did. I don’t keep track. I love Cascadia, but we don’t matter anyhow. The last time you heard about Oregon, Washington or Hawai’i deciding anything was? I remember waiting up and assuring people when I volunteered in Arizona shortly after moving here that Obama had it. It’s all those other states. Once they do it, we go to sleep feeling as useless as before. Never has Cascadia mattered. Tom Foley, Boeing, and all that, fu***********

I picketed with my parents for better wages, all that. But, they hated the caucus system. It’s so flawed, and their were party bosses conducting things. They never went Republican, but they were disgusted by the system way back then. Just do a primary – and don’t get me started on mail-in ballots like Oregon does so everyone can vote even if they don’t have a 9-5 M-F job. That’s one of my biggest things other than health care. Let Everyone vote.

Burn in hell, Kobe Bryant. A friend of mine called it a hagiography. Whatever, the East Coast media feels woke whenever they mention LA. Yay for rape!

I’m watching Bealtaine Cottage right now and I’m growing a plant. Not that garden, but, after pain, after … well, let’s see if I can keep something alive with the grace of St. Dymphna. She’s a beautiful lady (hint). I tried growing her from a seed, but ended up just bying a little one. I got her in a box dying in the office of my apartments in Arizona summer. I haven’t killed her yet. I love her. I could never do a garden. I water her every day. And I respect her, because I did try a dying leaf in tea. You don’t mess with her. She grows for me and I talk to her. I know I sound like I’ve had more of her, but she will kill me if I do.
