I struggle to report on today out of fear of being callous to the greater world. Please know that I have spent a lot of time worried today. Our climate is a problem, the politicians around the world seem dedicated to mutual destruction, price gouging and other things are rampant.
However, in the minute of the day. In the precious moments and tiny details...today has been very wonderful.
A small accommodation was made to help me feel at ease in a location. It wasn't major, nothing too troubling I don't think, and the venue agreed. I was able to attend with a much higher level of enjoyment and "normal".
It's not that I travel through the world crashing and breaking into things. I don't lumber through the world like a hulking monster seeking shelter from the storms. I am able to carry conversation, watch movies, and do a great many things that everyone else does. However, I need to pivot slightly to enjoy myself fully. I was just super grateful for the experience.
The weather is humid and gross, the windows are closed and the breeze is a cold and shivery gale. But I was treated like a valuable member of society with needs that should be met. That isn't something that always happens and I wanted to remark on it .
Human who works a job, caregives for children, parents, pets, or relatives, cooks, cleans, shops, is on committees, volunteers, helps with family's extracurriculars, tries to make it to family and friend social events, exercise, eat right, and maybe even do a hobby they are interested in: Doc, I don't know why I'm so tired, and stressed all the time.
Billionaires and Politicians: The problem is people are lazy, and just don't want to work.
@RickiTarr@maxleibman Also, certain politicians: “Let’s keep them riled up about how everything is ‘too woke’ so they’re too distracted to see what we’re really up to.”
What cracks me up is when you go to a restaurant, and they ask if you've been there before, and then they say, "Well, we do things a little different here", and then it's exactly like every other restaurant, but more expensive.
I would make a joke about irony, but honestly, I don't know if anyone actually understands what it is.
And if I did someone would inevitably come along in the comments, and try to explain irony, and even more inevitably someone would correct them, and then really this is just a joke about hubris, which is probably ironic, but who the hell knows.
