mood

Yay! I love to see it. I briefly looked into it this summer but then I got distracted and lost track

Oh. Well I’m not gonna be out that long.

I hope.

Uhoh. It really depends on how well I do and it is not well so far.

Hmm. Uhoh.

I’m out on FMLA. Am I even going to have a job when I get back?

Depending on the org you are donating to, you should be able to at least deduct it from your federal and depending on the state, state taxes as well.

I was able to donate what my parents were doing over 1.5 years in a single donation that way.

I got a couple of big bills to pay this month, but after that and my pay check another big chunk is going.

Could I use that money? Sure. But it’s a relatively small amount compared to rent/alimony and still leaves enough for me to be stable.

My bigger concern is how long it goes on. I haven’t calculated in increasing expenses.

I doubt this will lead to a punisher origin story. ICE does not go after anyone actually dangerous.

They have stayed out of most areas where cartels, gangs, etc operate. If ICE cuts into their money? Then shit gets weird.

I’ll bet they have picked up plenty of actual gang/cartel members, figured it out, and got them released. It’s not just the cartels that profit from the cartel business.

Well, one, this has been going on for several months.

Two, the media corporations are controlled by the regime.

Three, they really don’t want anyone to know what’s happening to the women. If we can ever locate them.

They literally can’t arrest all of us. They can try, but they can’t.

I don’t expect this ruling to have an effect. I went ahead and made a sizeable donation to my local food shelf anyway. I don’t need that money to fund an expensive toy when I can help people stay fed.

I wish I could donate more, and I really hope this is somehow enforced. But DO NOT WAIT for magic money to appear. The people who need SNAP needed it on 11/01.

Bread lines are about to be a real thing in New York

Yeah. And Mamdani wasn’t the reason for that at all. That’s entirely on the GOP.

And then there’s my autistic ass that just sees a fuckton of socialization rules there and I’m already panicking

Who the fuck gives a shit anyway.

I’ve dated two women. Two. And you know what I’ve learned?

Jack fucking shit. The first woman abused me for a decade, the second was only one date.

The idea of people dating is one thing. The idea of people hooking up is a different one. But The idea of people fucking outside of their committed relationship is so vastly foreign to my simple experience I’m beginning to wonder if the universe is conspiring to isolate me from humanity.

Previously I said the Heritage Foundation regime was targeting Venezuela because of the whiny asshole oil companies.

Well, now I believe that’s true, but it’s also because Venezuela can’t actually fight back.

They don’t have the means to. They have a military. But the US Navy is overwhelming force. It was designed that way.

This isn’t going to be the last country the regime bullies. This is how the HF operates. Expect Mob style tactics. Expect schoolyard bullying. That’s what they’re doing inside the country too.

Please, world, boycott American products and services. The only language the people in power here speak is money. Don’t take vacations here. Don’t work for the companies. Don’t travel here for our healthcare, or our schools.

It’s not safe. It directly, or indirectly, helps keep the HF in power. Spread the word to your neighbors, your friends, your political representatives.

The citizens here are the only ones that can actually replace the regime. The corporations need to be cut off from their life source.

The air tag one is great. There’s probably a cheaper way to do it but I like the idea.

IDing ICE would go a long way, but they’ll probably start wearing balaclavas before too long.

I spent a little extra on good Ray-Bans RX.

They hide a good area WHILE making me look like a fed in the right clothes and hat. It’s really eerie.

I’m starting to think this is necessary. Don’t use a scary mask like they do, a medical one is good enough, because you don’t want to be the reason other people get sick. Or because you are at risk of getting sick. Or because you don’t like the taste of boot.

Shades that cover a large area helps too.

That sounds dangerous and illegal

I think it depends on the kind of nail. Some nails have groove things that add a little bit of extra resistance to moving back out. Others do not. They also have to be sufficiently large. It’s probably a good idea that they don’t come out right away either. It’d be better for them to get a flat tire on a different street than the one you’re on.

That doesn’t usually flatten a tire

Man. Driving around without plates is always sure to raise an eyebrow in most people.

I’m starting to wonder if we need something to mark a part of the vehicle to alert people it is definitely ICE. Something like vital to the vehicle so they can’t just remove it. Like a tire. Maybe something you could like quickly toss in front of and behind a tire. Something that will stick in it. Tires are pretty thick so maybe something slightly sharp, but strong. Maybe two pieces of purpose built steel wrapped around each other. Like that “jacks” game with the bouncy ball.
