I was diagnosed with "Autistic retardation" more than 5 decades ago, and instead of support, was nailed down by everyone to conceal my entire existence, even among friend and family.
Please do not tell me I do not know what it is to be marginalized.

A major downside to understanding the physics of "deep time" is that the inevitable destruction of the Earth in 5 billion years can keep me awake at night.
But I am still upset over the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

We've reached a point where people fear an abstract of "Socialism" more than they fear realities of illness, poverty, ignorance, or violence.
They fear the 'monsters' in their head more than 'monsters' warning them about it.
It is not a political ideology so much, as it is an emotional mythology.

The assault on the US republic was, and still is, run by Russia.
The amplification by MAGA in these plans is just a free echo chamber for the Kremlin's intentions. Noise resonating in the empty spaces between their ears...

If fear of crime prevents prosecution of crime, we have surrendered justice. We have literally created a formal path of extortion for all criminals to avoid prosecution.
We cannot give Trump, or anyone, a pass because their followers might commit crimes in response.
All law is precedent.

Right now seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first impeachment was for withholding military aid from Ukraine until he could extort its president for dirt on Joe Biden to sabotage our election.

A stray cat woke me, meowing loudly outside the window.
I tried throwing food to them, but that did not make them leave.
Perhaps more food next time?

The most common form of oppression in America is insistence that 1 group must compromise their rights to protect the privilege of other groups.
This is the basis of racism, ableism, misogyny, & classism.
Some political parties & platforms are based solely upon this premise.
Vote them out!

The number of possible options on shuffling a deck of cards randomly, is larger than the total number of atoms in the entire Milky Way galaxy...
The possibilities in a 5 a car draw are 52! X 51!X 50! X 49! X 498!, or 2,598,960.
The odds are ALWAYS against you.
Draw another card, anyway...

The hard point of high energy physics, quantum balance, & pretty much all theories on how the universe works, it to consider any possibility, but never believe in it.
We most have some focus upon what IS possible, without tying ourselves down to what MIGHT be likely within our own perspective.

Wasabi is a decongestant, like dynamite is a gardening tool.
Coincidentally, both leave a vague hope something might grow back....

Reading about Signs-from-God.
Quakes, eclipse & comments on "locusts" though they're actually cicadas.
Well most of the eclipse path ran through Red states.
The cicadas are emerging in mostly Red states.
Quakes are in blue states, but that's okay.
Blue quakes make big blue waves.
Its a sign.

My perusal of Facebook was today interrupted by an ad for Gospel based Christian toenail fungus removal....
Not sure if I am more concerned that they were serious, or that some algorithm picked me as a target audience.
Especially since none of my toenails are Christian.

People trade adaptability away for comfort. That's why they panic when there is change. They gave up that single most valuable trait that lead us to where we are in the food chain (just below the mosquito)
