    Sheer delusion.

    Happy November 96th everyone, the election is tomorrow and I still have hope that America will turn away from fascistic hate!

        Have you considered trying to grow your own? It only takes 3-4 plants in a closet to make enough for a couple people, you can control what they’re treated with, and it’s market proof. And generally per weight it’s cheaper than buying at a dispensary…

          Doing this right now. A 40 dollar growlight from ali express and some reflective foil was all it took.

          I’ve never gotten further than attempting to germinate the random seed I’ve found. I believe growing yourself is still technically illegal in NJ oddly enough, although I’m not overly concerned with that part. Definitely something to consider.

    I’m not an American, so there’s some solace in the fact that I don’t live in the country where this is all going down. I do however have friends who are American, so I’ve been offering whatever advice I can to them and the least I can do is be that friend they feel safe openly venting to.

    Funny you should ask.

    I’ve been almost completely ignoring the hellscape that my country is turning into because last week starting just before the inauguration was one of the worst years in my life, and it’s still happening this week as well.

    Over the past 26 years, I’ve often thought that parenting is not a job for the weak. I keep thinking I know what that means. Now I realize that I will never know how bad it can get. Anytime you think you’re past the worst, you get the universe’s boot up your ass again.

    I’ve earned a couple serious breakdowns in the last week, but I’ve got to put them off because I just can’t do it yet. I don’t have time.

    I can’t get over how cold it’s been for weeks and weeks. I bought an ankle length winter coat this year and that’s what’s helping me survive, along with many other pieces of clothing. It’s so cold I have to wear long johns to walk the dog.

    Girding myself for February. I have for years attested that it’s the shortest month because if it was any longer people would find the nearest window to fling themselves out of.

      February is DEFINITELY the worst month of the year. January is bad but you can still somewhat be enjoying the relative newness of winter, pretty christmas lights are still up for awhile, and there’s the excitement of new years eve and the start of a new year.

      February is when all the blah of winter really starts piling up, the cold overcast days drag on forever, the gloom suffocates your mood, everything outside is drab, and not only is there not a good holiday in february - but in fact there’s a bad holiday in february with valentine’s day.

      I don’t want life to feel like it goes any quicker than it already does, but february makes a good argument for a skip to march

        Over here february is nearing the end of the rainy season, with temperatures regularly above 30 and rain showers. I love it, but not as much as the thick of the rainy season, which was this month

        February holidays are wack too, at least as far as US holidays go. Valentine’s Day is a racket. Groundhog Day is likely the lamest divination ever regularly attempted. President’s day is dumb and mostly ignored.

          You think we’re going to be allowed to ignore President’s Day this year?

          If there isn’t a military parade in the streets For The God-Emperor, it’ll be a protest march to Remind Him He’s a President, Not a God-Emperor.

          Maybe both.

      You are not a coward for not killing yourself.

      Try to find a hobby to cut through the dark times.

      I enjoy photography, it might not be for everyone, but since you probably can start with the phone you already have, it is cheap.
