Because Tumblr sez you have to have 1 (one) primary Tumblr blog,and that primary Tumblr blog has to be public. I often use Tumblr's queue to reblog. This blog also has an about page...

I need practical strategies for how to shift my social media experience from where it currently is, where every time I open social media or just makes me feel angrier and angrier, and shift it so that opening social media would instead make me feel more and more inspired.
I know very well that this is very, very much possible.
I shall find the way.
---
...and to those of you who still insist that Tumblr is "not social media": oh you sweet, sweet summer child. Bless you.

Reblog as a self-reminder to be. Just be.
Be.

Jump the fence. Be.

âŠalso:
When you want to relax, someone is upset. When youâre upset, someone needs to relax. It is the way it is. No need to hate. Be.

When I was in graduate school, one of my professors was an analyst of power theory in international relations. His theory was that countries allied themselves on a power basis, not for ideological or cultural reasons. As a consequence, he predicted that the US would abandon its alliance with the UK in favor of Argentina (this, just after the Falklands War). The UK, he commented was a declining power (which it was), while Argentina was rising (which it wasn't).
As a culture/ideology guy, I didn't buy this then. (My concerns did not trouble his acolytes in any way.) But it does raise the question: why is Trump so determined to love Russia? For Russia is a DECLINING power. It has a declining population. CUrrent male life expectancy in Russia is around 68 years. Its assets include nuclear weapons, natural gas, and petroleum. That's it. It's a second rate ground power that can't get further than about 100 miles into Ukraine, with which it shares a long, porous border.
Maybe it's the strongman thing. Maybe it's the dream of Trump enterprise expansion into Russia (and all its oligarchical black market money). Maybe he's a paid operative. maybe it's all of the above.
But Russia is on its way down. We appear to think that's the right team to be on.

After she voted to force Trump to actually spend Congressionally-appropriated funds for USAID, some MAGAzoids are now calling Trump Supreme Court choice Amy Coney Barrett, âAmy Commie Barrett.â
Truly lovely people.

I watched Flow last night. Watching the opening scene, I can't help that someone really, really loved the cat. Before they died/disappeared/was raptured away...









9 HD posters of "Flow", the magnificent 2nd feature film by Gints Zilbalodis.

*That isn't even a "meme." What is the proper term for that kind of social-media riffing

I don't really know why I even want to preserve this moment digitally, from Trump's SOTU. It's weird. Not normal.
The whole event was weird. The sign is weird. But the sign helps make the weirdness a bit more bearable, I think? Somehow? I don't know.
Anyways I got a drawing out of the feeling. Much as it's a chicken-scratch of a drawing. It's something.

The thing about co-president Musk is that Musk solves Trumpâs biggest problem with the presidency: Trump wants to *be* President, but he doesnât want to do the *job* of President. Musk takes care of it for him while Trump golfs, hawks merch, and signs executive orders while people suck up to him. Itâs perfect. For Trump anyway.

Without knowing anything about anything, if I told you a US President had:
--insisted that the leader of an allied country was a dictator after that ally was invaded by an historical enemy of the United States;
--insisted that the European Union was created to "screw over" the United States;
--repeatedly suggested that the US would not automatically defend its NATO allies;
--and had his Secretary of Defense announce that the US would no longer engage in military or cyber planning against Russia;
... whose team would you say that president was supporting?
Just asking for, you know, everyone ...

So, let me guessâ you just started a new book, right? And youâre stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writerâs gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in troubleâŠ
Youâre in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.
Itâs called Havocscope. Itâs got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?
I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.
((PS: In case youâre wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. Itâs perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))
