Waiting for our elected officials to do the right thing is basically the same as doing nothing.

I’m getting my affairs in order for a potentially extended vacancy. But I’m a quasi shut-in and have nobody I can convince to help me. Please reach out to anyone you may know living near one of these facilities to help organize on site.

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe everything down there is A-OK. But it seems more likely that people are being illegally detained in inhumane conditions and whoever is in charge of the facilities is getting paid with our tax dollars.

I know a lot pf folks think that the occupation of Malheur was justified because apparently it’s OK to break the rule of law if you’re a rancher who refuses to pay taxes. But if you then turn around and say it’s OK for the government to take children, not fetuses, mind you, actual real live born children, and allow them to die while in our custody, then you’re a fucking cunt and you should get down there too so we can see your cunt face and read holy texts at it.

That guy didn’t do any of the steps unless they were towards a bar. I mean, do you pour some out in his memory or would he haunt you for wasting perfectly drinkable liquor?

Robert Sapolsky on depression has helped, too, when I feel able to wade through the heavy sciencey stuff.

All 12 are excellent, but number 11, about my fucked up brain chemicals on an endless roller coaster, is so important because in my horrible and out of control state, there is nothing but me, me, me. Thank you for reminding me about other people.
