Two in the Morning
I woke up about an hour and a half ago which in Wisconsin is two in the morning. I’ve had problems with insomnia most of my life. It is usually because I can’t seem to fall asleep the first time, but tonight I’ve already slept for a few hours and have been trying to relax…

a Rag
The flags riseAnd nations go to warSuch arrogancePride in a ragHumility know no nation The sabers rattleFollowed by warcrysBut below that noiseOthers are crying tooThe dead all know the same grave The crests fallCodes of arms march onSwords are drawnBullets flyThe colors kill So people dieAnd their nations with themThey could have spokenBut instead they…

Pills Are Therapy Too
Among the things that I do and advocate that other people do is to express myself creatively. I’ve mostly been doing digital art in the past few years. My preferred program is GIMP 2.10.32 though I have others. I have a fairly large collection of designs at this point. Some from trying to sell t-shirt…

Spring in Wisconsin
It’s the first day of spring and that means warmer weather (sort of). I like living here and I like that things are about to start growing but I’m not going to kid myself that it will magically start today. At least the bugs haven’t started coming back yet. 20 March 2023

Actual Saturday Morning
I slept until a little past noon today except for getting up briefly at 4am to clean up poop. The house was quiet otherwise and I don’t have to work until later. So now I sit at my computer screen wonder what to say about a morning that I didn’t really have. My wife doesn’t…

Saturday Morning Energy
I remember when I was a kid I had a lot of trouble getting up for school. It got so bad that I would get completely dressed except for shoes and curl back under my blankets until I absolutely had to leave. I had the same problem on Sundays before church and occasionally wouldn’t get…

Job Search
Walgreens is a good job but it’s just a job. I don’t like selling credit cards and I don’t like even the idea of handling abortion pills. But I need the structure of a job in my life, and this is the one I’ve got. I have in the past few months applied to a…

My Politics
I am a member of the American Solidarity Party because I am trying to be more pro-life for the whole life. That’s incredibly motivating for me because my own disability and the disabilities of my family tend to put us in groups that are seen as “burdens to society” or sometimes even “human weeds.” I…
