America.
Reagan’s on the wrong side. He was the champion of “trickle down” economics and tax cuts for the wealthy.
I do not believe for one second that OWS has fizzled out. Especially overnight.
Given all the laws and whatnot flying around, and the protests and outrage concerning them, I can only guess what’s happened in the space of twenty-four hours
1) They arrested absolutely everybody and haven’t told anyone.
2) They’re censoring everything OWS.
3) Corporate America suddenly realised there’s bugger all elsewhere to go once they’ve finished raping America and
Read more »I’m currently between projects and feeling a little doldrum-ish. So I figured some inspiration might help.
My options are:
(1) A new pony fic featuring a species from another fictional continuity (ds9). (2) Finally starting some work on the draw blog I gassed about a while back. (3) Moar fids, damnit!
Or (4) Something different (suggestions please)
I appreciate your responses?

“Excuse me?”
Twilight startled. She swore there hadn’t been anyone else in the library a minute ago. “Where did you come from?”
The strange unicorn was tall and gangly, though of about adult pony height, she had obviously yet to fill out. “Trotston. Originally,” she said. Her straight, brown mane hung over most of her face as
I’m back down to 92.4, today. I did it by not eating very much, and yet, I also didn’t eat very much of anything that’s good for me.
I doubt I’m going to make it to 80 kilos subsisting solely on peanut-honey sandwiches, as I have been yesterday. [FYI: You mix almost-equal portions of honey and peanut paste/butter together and spread the results on a sandwich. Tasty and filling.]
I really should

Not a physical heaviness. More a spiritual weight that drags me down to the point where I don’t feel like anything can lift me back up.
I don’t know why I’m feeling this down.
The house is clean. I’m on top of the laundry. I’m on top of the dishwashing. I’m on top of the floor - keeping it clean, that is.
I should be on top

Just because I haven’t been contributing to the OWS threads, lately, doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping track of things.
One thing I’ve learned from the patterns of history is this: If a nation does not stop itself from an impending fall, it will plummet all the way to the bottom and then some. Especially if it’s been warned by everybody and
Read more »I successfully got down to 92.5 kilos. Shortly before it rained.
Now that it’s raining, walking the dog is out, and sitting on my behind and trying to stay warm is in. This is why I’m back up to 94.
What I need to do is get my fattening arse up on my exercise bike and pedal ‘till my legs fall off.
Not happening today, probably. Life is busy getting in the way.
Flooding rains, kids,
Read more »I discovered yesterday that the masses of water gathering around the uphill side of my house were due to masses of wet grass blocking the drains.
It was an education getting rid of that shit.
Mainly because the hound kept trying to fetch the sodden masses of grass as I chucked them onto the jungle lawn and then shaking off on me when he came back under shelter again.
Now that the grass is gone, the calf-deep puddles have drained away and

As I watch the flowing water encroaching on our house from the drainage ditch, I have to wonder why so many people are in denial about climate change.
Most of the denialists still call it “global warming” and I feel obligated to punch sense into the next person who denies global warming during a cold snap. But I digress.

I love Derpy. I love her even more now that she’s had a few lines in the show. Now, some folks seem to think that Derpy and her portrayal is “ableist”. I think it’s quite the opposite.
There are kids out there who have learning difficulties. They are going to have to deal with people like Rainbow Dash who don’t have or

He’s looking for his people.
Unfortunately for the hound, his people - Mayhem and Chaos - are back at school. Until it floods out with all this fargnaxing rain.
So in order to keep him at least dry, I’ve had to keep the front door open so he knows I’m around. Poor thing’s

When we tried to fix the patio, it rained almost nonstop for two months and Southeast Queensland got flooded.
Now we’re fixing up Mayhem’s room, it’s pouring nonstop. For two weeks, now.
At least the drainage ditch is working and we don’t have a small swamp happening in the back of our house.
OTOH, we have miniature lakes
