Mar. 25th, 2019 09:35 amAccountability Post: Avoiding network television and all radio because "Barr Says" is at best an incomplete statement and at worst a brazen coverup of the most criminal POTUS in history. Until I can watch television without thinking that contracting a disease that would kill me suddenly and painlessly within the next year would be a *good* thing, I'm staying away. (No, I'm not suicidal. That is an assessment of the world in the next two years, not of the value of my life).
Anyhow. Today is laundry, and possibly kitchen, and the first (2?) of the executive function vlogs. And now I think I need to do a separate "pure politics" tag, starting with one called "how to analyze the news" followed by "how not to blow out your brains when you actually understand the news".
Damn it, folks, there's a reason I'm not an economist. Economics theory classes as an undergrad gave me *actual existential nightmares*, not because I didn't understand the material, but because I *did*. I thought/hoped we were better than that. Is there a word that captures thought/hoped that isn't a shitty portmanteau?
In addition to the executive function vlogs, my other goal is to *just start* the data entry that has my brain melting. It has been my impossible task now for half a year. Intellectually, I know it's not hard. It's pretty simple, actually. But that amygdala of mine is convinced that there are sharks swimming in that data that will eat me from the fingers up.
Grumpy, well-rested, and sipping on coffee. You?
Gratitudes: Unlike a lot of people, I have options if things go to shit. Quantum physics says that consciousness affects the fabric of the universe, so I will keep existing in some form after death. My children (blood and chosen) are amazing.
