Another No Kings coming up

Posted on March 22, 2026 by A Dreamer

It’s been a while since I did a Saturday ramble here – lucky you, today is the day! Oh, first thing – Happy Eid! I hope Ramadan was good for you and that your pets are not waking you up … Continue reading →

Shhh, do not startle 2026.

Posted on January 1, 2026 by A Dreamer

I think we’re all on the same page, right? No sudden movements, no loud noises – we do not want to spook 2026 straight out of the gate. Let it hide under the bed for a while if it wants … Continue reading →

Well, 2025 has been…a year

Damn, it’s been a minute

Posted on May 4, 2025 by A Dreamer

But I am still here, flailing around but getting through as best I can. Not exactly a newsflash, but things in the US suuuuuuck. ICE, CBP, & DOJ are completely out of control – kidnapping and trafficking people, due process … Continue reading →

It’s bad but also really weird, right?

Posted on February 16, 2025 by A Dreamer

I need a thesaurus for new words for awful, there is no debating that this is all awful. But living through it all is just really, really strange. Just whipsawing between the day-to-day stuff, and trying to stop the fall … Continue reading →

This timeline suuuuuucks.

Posted on February 2, 2025 by A Dreamer

If you’re outside the United States, I’m not sure I can properly describe the chaos of the last two weeks. Hell, I can barely get my arms around it all and I live here. We’re basically watching the republic crumble … Continue reading →

Well, we made it through another week

Posted on January 25, 2025 by A Dreamer

And damn, that was a lot – I’ve *significantly* cut back on my news consumption, and it was still a firehose. But, I keep putting one foot in front of the other, because I don’t know what else to do. … Continue reading →
