Trigger Warning: Political Rant
I am a member of the American Solidarity Party. I paid my dues for the year and have not asked to be removed from the rolls manually. I have tried to commit myself to a whole life vision, but… The illegal immigration thing is really getting under my skin. Every day that passes I have…

After Midnight
It is almost one in the morning. My youngest son asked for DoorDash when he woke up this morning. That is not something we can do right now. He has gotten more angry and aggressive the more often we tell him no. He is mostly sedated now but not actually asleep. I have not taken…

Starting a Manifesto
I have begun work on a Weirdo Manifesto. Currently the three principles are creative expression, mental health, and selflessness.

Loud Noises
This morning there was a knock on the door. I was half asleep but it was firm and insistent. I got up and one of the brothers from church was calling. We talked for about an hour. Well I talked, he’s a better listener than I am. I let him know how our lives are…
