[ Interesting angles and some blue sky outside of the downtown YWCA. ]
Another chaotic week finally in my rearview mirror. And a chaotic year soon to follow, though what comes next will undoubtedly be much, much worse. So everyone in the United States should enjoy the last few days of what passes for a functioning country before it is stripped for parts by the oligarchs who were knowingly and purposefully elected by the unwashed hordes of inbred MAGA cannibals. I call them cannibals because on approximately February 1, 2025, MAGA will begin to eat itself. And nothing of value will be lost.
Reading
Slowly, so very slowly, working my way through Doctor Zhivago. At this rate I won’t be done until sometime in February.
For the first time, I am planning out my reading for the next year. I plan to read mostly long-form nonfiction and short fiction. And, of course, poetry. Not that I won’t read fiction, but given the political events of the past year, and the forty or so before that, reading up on totalitarianism, fascism, oligarchy, the police state, and late-stage capitalism seems to be especially important.
Writing
If I had time to write I would be doing more of it.
Subject: Super Powers, Politics
Setting: Mountains
Genre: Noir
Listening
Jan and Dean‘s song “The Little Old Lady From Pasadena” has been an earworm lately, so I am offering it to you-all. Go Granny Go!
