Dear “You Know Who You Are”…

It’s been a few years now. And you know what? I don’t feel bad not being your friend any more. Yes thanks, I’m doing great, and no, I don’t care how you are, or what I’ve missed. I’d say “glhf” but I wouldn’t mean it. At least not sincerely. Good talk. Good talk.

The Delight Of Nothing Extraordinary

No one will deny that, for the past half decade, the news has been toxic. Literally toxic. Like eating moldy food toxic. Like huffing bleach toxic (former presidential opinions non-withstanding).

Oh it’s so lovely when I hear the words “God will protect me,” most especially when it comes in answer to the question: Will you get the COVID vaccine? I applaud, nay, I support your faith in the invisible hand of your belief that will ensure that you will not get sick. Or if you… Continue reading My Joy In Your Belief
