Space Farce

"We'll never be able to say we weren't warned"

This is from before Ttump got... ahem... "elected".


Ttump: "Hate has no place in Uhmericuh. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul.", from the pursed lips of the trophy winner of hateful presidents in our lifetimes.

Expect cloudy with twitterstorms mid Mercury Retrograde

Delerium Doofus Trump place/timed the Continental Army revisionist airports in the revolutionary war during pre-shadow phase.

Mueller's testimony is happening with Mercury retrograde at full speed relative backwards.
This could be a huge congress blunder or it could be another
Make America Grunt Again story.

More of why we call it Pride

50 years of freedom. Yet still oppressed.

June 5, 2019

This is why we call our march Pride.

Even in the face from Trumpism, Bolsonaro's rants, Idiotic preachers and pundits to still suprisingly evident childish sneers, jibes and violence.
We were born this way.


I'll be at SF Pride marching with my company contingent!

Considering the K-hole

PTSD, unipolar depression from extraordinary teen bullying, youth homelessness, survived a murder attempt by my father, widowed many years ago from the only soulmate who understood and cared.
I've lost count of the times I've been to therapists, taken useless rounds of SSRI's, MAOI's, I refuse ECT, that scares the hell out of me.
But reading lately about the new Ketamine therapy, and curious if anyone here has had it.

The wealthy elite increasingly recognises that the socioeconomic status quo in the US is unsustainab

CEO of JP Morgan Chase Jamie Dimon (ranked 1,717th) also noted earlier this year that: "A big chunk of [Americans] have been left behind […] Forty percent of Americans make less than $15 an hour. Forty percent can't afford a $400 bill, whether it's medical or fixing their car. Fifteen percent of Americans make minimum wages, 70,000 die from opioids."

Indeed, the growing impoverishment and despair that are plaguing our country are hard to miss. The US also has the highest rate of income inequality among Western nations, with the top one percent claiming 40 percent of US wealth in 2016, in contrast to a 25 to 30 percent share in the 1980s. According to the rather conservative estimates of the US Census Bureau, around 14 percent of the population or 45 million live in poverty. According to the UN, 8.5 million of them face extreme poverty and 5.3 million suffer in "Third World conditions of absolute poverty".

But in reality, many more Americans struggle to secure a dignified life for themselves and their families. A damning report published by the UN in 2018 found that: "High child and youth poverty rates perpetuate the intergenerational transmission of poverty very effectively, and ensure that the American dream is rapidly becoming the American illusion. The equality of opportunity, which is so prized in theory, is in practice a myth, especially for minorities and women, but also for many middle-class White workers."
