"California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a lawsuit against the far-right anti-LGBTQ+ Chino Valley Unified school district for their illegal policy to forcibly out transgender and non-binary students. These attacks on LGBTQ+ student civil rights are spreading to other school districts— spearheaded by a fascist coalition of extremists from Leave Our Kids Alone, LEXIT, the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, and Capitol rioters."

Linn's Lore: Goals, Dreams, and Spoonie Strength

Can you believe we’re already a week deep into 2024? I hope this first Sunday gave you a gentle start and that you’re ready for some söndagsmys. See, I’d like to invite you to one of my favourite corners of this world. Isn’t it beautiful here under my tree? Sir Bear made this space for me so I would have a place to contemplate our stories, reflect on whatever life throws our way, and enjoy the simple joys of being. 

I like to sit here and work on something I call Linn's Lore. It’s a diary of sorts, but nothing like the Ship’s Log I keep as the Captain of the Resilience. No, my Lorebook is personal, sometimes even private, and it’s where I can be myself and talk about my life as a spoonie author. Where I can dream, plan, and deep-dive into as many rabbit holes as I like in search of inspiration and knowledge. Today, I’ve got a nice pot of tea and a gorgeous apple cake, and I was thinking we could share them and have a chat about new beginnings, New Year’s resolutions, and the delicate universe we have created here in the space between dreams and reality.

New Year’s resolutions – they’re a bit like a double-edged sword, aren’t they? One side whispers, nay sings, of new beginnings and transformation. The other speaks, rather bluntly, of past failures and resolutions unfulfilled. As someone living with the daily complexities of chronic illness, I've learned to view resolutions not as rigid goals, but as my North Star, gently illuminating a path that's kind to both my aspirations and realities. And I’ve also taught myself that resolutions don’t have to be chores. You can add as many fun and uplifting things as you like - it’s your list!

This year, after a few years of only picking a single goal, I've boldly set my sights on a whole constellation of them. Well, why the heck not, I thought to myself when I sat here chewing the back of my pen. I’ve had the same goal for so long and now that things are beginning to pick up speed I feel like it’s sink-or-swim time. Some of my goals are private, but of the ones I can share, each one is shining its own light on us. In 2024, my goals are to:

Double My Writer's Income: This is a challenge, for sure, and it may sound like a shallow one at that, but hear me out. I’ve not been able to talk about this before, and I’m not going into detail today, but the long and short of it is that 2023 was the first year I made a small sum of money in book royalties. My primary goal is for our stories to reach more hearts and minds, but my secondary goal is to build something that can help me sustain an independent lifestyle as a disabled author. I am frugal and I don’t need much, so I believe this is a SMART goal.

Release 12 New Books: Some stories are waiting to be told, others are waiting to be edited, and I have been a pretty ynklig pet for most of 2023. This year something’s gotta give and I have to believe we will find a way out of here. I write with my Sir Bear. All my stories are his and all his stories are mine. In this world we have created we are one. Between us, 12 books (four of mine, four of his, and four from the Libertalia pipeline) should not be an unreasonable goal, but it all hinges on goal number 3.

Move Into a New Home: The Resilience is my spiritual home, and my heart has found a home in a sweet and very protective Sea Bear. However, as much as I love me ship and me Quartermaster, I do need a place to stay on this peculiar island that has been my home for the past two decades. This is yet another topic I’ve not been able to talk about, but you better believe I’m like a pressure cooker inside and shit wants out.

Focus on Health and Well-being: I need to see a dentist, I need new glasses, and I need to continue the work to find out what’s going on in my stomach. I need to get my meds sorted, and I really need to find a way to get some fresh air on a regular basis. It may not sound as much, but each of these smaller goals is a huge step towards an improved standard of living.

Listen to an Audiobook/Week: I don’t know if this one needs any further explanations, really. I will try to review at least half of them and I’ve made some templates to make it easier to post about it on my socials. For the longest time, I’ve been so bad at posting reviews that it’s almost shameful, but we’ll try to do better this year. I actually have the first short one ready to go. A solid 3-star read that I would love to share with my sidekick later this year.

Get My Crafting Back On: I can’t even begin to explain how much I miss my craft stash. It was boxed up for the better part of last year and it still is. Another reason I desperately need a new home. Sure, impending homelessness is a bigger concern, but sweet baby Fenrir I miss the creative process, the meditative headspace, and the joy of seeing my work find homes in other people’s lives.

Cook and Eat: I can’t even remember when I last cooked something, because of reasons, and I can’t tell you how badly I want to try new foods. Every flavour is a story and there are so many I need to consume. I have this dream, and yes this is more of a dream than a goal, but I would really love to be able to cook with my keeper again. Imagine if I got a new home that was accessible. Imagine a kitchen I could get in and out of. Imagine rooms I could get in and out of! I don’t have much ork on the best of days, but maybe, if we started small, I could…

Get Some Fresh Air: We don’t have it in London, but the dream is to move north and rumour has it people can breathe up there. After close to four years locked up in COVID isolation (yes, some of us are still shielding!) even a quick gulp of fresh air each day to remind myself of the world's vast beauty is something I dream of. And maybe this is the year it will be possible.

Do Something Fun Each Day: This is something of a mantra for me. I am a firm believer in mys, fun, love and faith as the four cornerstones of life. I am blessed in that I get to do the things I love and enjoy every day, but the goal for this year is to do more things I haven’t done before, and more things I’ve not been able to do for a long time. 

As a spoonie author, these goals are meant to lift my spirits and improve my quality of life. They are also my acts of defiance against the constraints of chronic illness and disability. Each day I write, each story I tell, is a testament to my resilience. To the power of my Resilience. In sharing this personal journey with you, I hope I can give you more than just a glimpse of my world. I would very much like to be the person who can hold up a mirror where you can see the reflection of your own resilience. 

If you are a normie who loves to read and/or write, I welcome you to step aboard my ship and sail into the vast unchartered waters we’ll be exploring this year with me. 

If you are a spoonie who loves to read and/or write, I welcome you to enter the vast parallel universe of the unwell with me. You can board my ship and move freely between our worlds.

If you don’t like to read and/or write, you are still welcome to my fikastunder here in this Sunday sanctuary of mine.

Whoever you are, whatever path led you here today, let’s step, roll, or jump into this new year together. May this be a place where our stories can intertwine, where our dreams can get a voice, and where, despite the challenges ahead of us, we can continue to create our own reality, one word, one breath at a time.

Until we meet again, may your days be filled with mys, love, fun, and faith. 

Love always,

//Linn

just learned that Richard Tuck, the historian of political thought, was a big “lexiteer”

apparently, he was convinced that only a sovereign and supreme Parliament could establish a fair commonwealth in the realm of England, while continued subordination to Continental monarchy, depraved and corrupted as it is by wealth, power, and aspirations to universal dominion, would be a perpetual menace to godly rule

spending too much time in the seventeenth century can make you a little weird, it seems

not me, though. I'm normal

lexit-asexual would be a great blog name for someone else

[mokeymokey]

Remember Lexit. How's that going friends

[mrcowboydeanwinchester]

If only Steve Carlson was a heller. Instead he’s a qanon conservative who follows libsoftiktok, The Daily Wire, Blaire White (conservative political commentator/YouTuber), JP Sears (YouTuber/comedian who is a conservative covid denier) On the Daily with Dahlia (another conservative wacko), Newscast (a private account that only posts “real news” that the mainstream media won’t) Lexit (the Latino exit from the Democratic Party), Anna Paulina Luna (Trump loving representative from Florida), dc_drainer (covid denying Trump lover), Deep State Media (another private “real news” account), 45 briefs (private update page for Trump news), News Leaks (yet another private “real news” page), Unfiltered Politics (conservative comedy/memes and “news”) and an account dedicated to “exposing liberal lies” (the_typical_liberal) on instagram 🙃

being a horrific person does not exclude you from being a heller

[kalel683]

Yeah, that’s pretty annoying.

Fun fact, caffeine and olive oil individually help clean out the digestive track. Caffeine because it's a type of poison. Olives ( I think) because they are fabire rich. Combine the two you are looking at a bad time. But mix it with sugar free sweets, or rather known as maltitol, ( this is litterly the ingredient in lexitives that make them lexitives) you get a bad time. Actually one guy eneded up getting arrested then in the hospital due to suger free gummy bears.

Apparently Starbucks is now selling olive oil coffee (?!?!?!) and it’s causing people to shit like crazy. Which is hilarious to me because 1. I am from a culture famous for its consumption of both coffee and olive oil, and never in my fucking LIFE would I have thought to combine them and 2. THEY PUT A LAXATIVE IN ANOTHER LAXATIVE WHAT DID THEY THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN

(Martin Kane on top, My Friend Irma bottom left, ad for the Whistler, right)

Day 6- TV and Radio: 

TV: 

Martin Kane, Private Eye, season 3, episode 19, “A Crooner is Murdered,” Jan 31st, 1952. 

Radio: 

The Whistler, “Borrowed Byline,” Jan 27th, 1952 

Our Miss Brooks, “New School Bus,” Jan 27th, 1952. 

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, episode 126, “The Glen English Matter,” Jan 5th, 1952, 

My Friend Irma, episode 218, “The Burglar,” Jan 20th, 1952 

Lots of detectives today! Martin Kane and Johnny Dollar were P.I.s, and The Whistler was kind of like a ghostly detective. I really enjoyed both Martin Kane and The Whistler. Both are only 30 minutes long, so they go by at a fast, entertaining clip.  

The ads in Martin Kane were interesting- they were more like product placements are today. At the beginning of the episode, an announcer briefly talked about a tobacco company and all its fine quality tobaccos, which was standard for the time. At the 15-minute ad break, however, we just got a loooong shot of Kane filling his pipe while the Old Briar tobacco package dominated the screen. At the end, Kane is IN a tobacco shop as he recaps the case with the store owner! 

I really love the sit-com My Friend Irma. Irma is the ditzy main character, and Jane is her befuddled roommate and “straight man.” The side characters are cute too. Land-lady Mrs. O'Reilly, for example, is an older woman who regales everyone with tales of her past romantic conquests! 

...And now a word from today’s best sponsor: Eye-gene eyedrops! “You can’t have a sparkling personality if you don’t have sparkling eyes!” Are your eyes tired, dull, red from lack of sleep, driving, wind, or glare? Then you need Eye-gene! Only Eye-gene contains Lexital, a tonic for your eyes! Just one or two drops, and you’ll be sparkling again!
