  • About two days.

    I woke up, went to school (around 7am). My mom and grandma were in vacation, so I was left with my dad. My “job” was to feed the cats at my grandma’s place. Took a different bus so I could get to her. Fed the cats, and waited for my dad to come get me.

    And waited. And waited. And waited.

    He never came. I stayed up all night thinking he’d come back. My friend made a post on social media (I wanna say Xanga?), so I knew she was awake and I called and asked if her dad could come get me and drop me off at home.

    Once home I brushed my teeth, changed my clothes, and was back on the bus. Came back and he was home, telling me there was a massive traffic jam that kept him locked in the road all night. He asked why I didn’t just stay home.

    There was no traffic jam.



    • Rombas. I had a knock off, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it was just easier with a regular vacuum, and faster. I also feel like a normal vacuum, currently, does a better job
    • Streaming services. I got lazy, but them breaking apart everything into services has gotten me back to basic. Laptop and an HDMI I cord, I can handle the rest. 🏴‍☠️
    • Working. However, I recently changed departments, so that will keep me quiet for awhile.





  • Black people in America during the 50’s were not treated well. They were hung, beaten, had their homes and communities destroyed often. There were also separate facilities such as schools, restaurants, and fountains. Many places were specifically “White Only.” There were Sundown Towns that pretty much made it illegal to be black after sundown. There were books (green book) written and circulated to make it easier for POC to find hospitable places to travel.

    This is not to say everything is all fine and dandy, but POC are usually not the ones dreaming about “the good old days.”


  • What do you mean by this? That the president can’t or that voters can’t because their choice is voting genocide or worse genocide?

    In my opinion, the genocide was not anywhere on the ballet. There was no feasible choice. I don’t think we had a choice to save Gaza immediately on 11/5. I’d rather fight for people in our regular shit then have to fight for people in whatever hell Trump is planning.

    Based on the response of the media, and elected democrats, no they haven’t lol. They’re blaming the left.

    Maybe we’re not seeing the same articles? Don’t get me wrong, I do see people blaming leftist/liberals/Russian bots, etc. But the I’ve seen posts and articles about how the dems fail the working class and looking over why they were abandoned. Sanders has been very vocal about the dems failure, and he’s not the only one. Not saying there’s no blame on the campaign, I’ve just seen both 🤷🏿‍♀️

    I think this is reductive and does not acknowledge why many people did not vote democrat.

    I don’t think so. I didn’t see this election as “dems VS rep.” I saw this as a vote to stop facisim. There was no vote I could make that day that was going to stop the genocide in it’s tracks. I didn’t believe that not voting was going to make anything easier. I see tons of, “Well, what will your compromise on? How many people can be killed before you say enough is enough?” I don’t feel like I compromised, because that makes it seem like I had a say, at least by 11/5. I wasn’t like, “okay, I’ll allow genocide if they keep abortion rights.” It was, “One person is asking for a ceasefire, but not making a clear statement against the genocide and continues to say she’ll continue what Biden is doing,” and “One person has told me he will give Israel the okay to turn Gaza into a crater, as well as make any future progress or change exponentially more difficult, and will harm anyone he doesn’t like.” Why would I pick the latter? The kid who can’t afford lunch didn’t put me in this position, nor did the teenager bleeding in the parking lot. It feels like they were so focused on teaching the Dems a lesson that they forgot the consequences won’t affect the politicians, it’ll affect us. All of us, whether we like it or not.

    I feel more helpless about Gaza then I did before the election. The recent meetings in my area have been down right depressing because we know it’s just going to be so much harder. And it’s upsetting that it feels like it didn’t have to.








  • Monster Hunter: Not all at once of course, but it’s a game I keep coming back to. A friend in college introduced me to it on the psp and I was invested. I’ve had some version of it somewhere since, and I don’t think I’ve ever removed it from my psp either.

    Overwatch: This is from before the change, but it became a comfort game. There were no chats, and I didn’t have to be in voice chat. I was low level (bronze), but I was content. I still play here and there, but I may get a match or two in before I leave out. Back in the day I could play for hours.
