democrat angst candy

It doesn’t bother me because I haven’t revolved my life around it for the last six to eight years.

old ussr straight key

CQ CQ DE …

It’s an old USSR military straight key. It’s supposed to be bolted to a table and hooked to a radio, not held in the hand. 📡

road food

I’m in a Food Lion supermarket in Altavista, Virginia, and was looking forward to working for the store by using the self checkout.

There wasn’t one. Pretty disappointed. ☹️

The deli case there was exquisite this morning. Set me up nicely for lunch on the road. 🥗🥪

bolsheviks in the washroom

As a child, I used to read Reader’s Digest to improve reading skills, because it’s kind of simple and the word games were fun.

Then one day I realized there was something wrong with that magazine. It had me checkin’ in the bathroom for Bolsheviks.

news data gobbler

I don’t care. You can get a buttload of news on Telegram.

It has data-conserving settings, but I like the full experience.

starz ‘n barz

Damn. It wouldn’t unfurl for the picture.

It’s on US-29 at Blairs, Virginia, in case you feel the need to come out and sit with it.

everybody is under the spell

At Pride on Sunday, I ran into this kinda sorta radical freethinker group.

I was thinking their email list would be a lot of fun, so I came home and subscribed. The very first one I received was a link to some typical empire propaganda piece in the New York Times. Immediate unsubscribe.

So disappointed. This shit is sick.

sweet tea

When I eat at places where I can fill my own iced tea, I fill it all the way up with unsweet and put one splash of sweet on top.

That one little splash of sweet makes the entire tea almost too sweet to drink. I can’t imagine filling it up with all sweet. My pancreas would probably jump out of my body.

the rubbers

At Greensboro Pride, Cone Health gave us some condoms, lube, and a drink koozie. They even offered PrEP.

What, am I 19 again? j/k

No, I’m not joking about condoms. Those things saved a lot of lives in the deadly 80’s, though I lost many of my friends anyway. PeEP did not exist then. If you got AIDS, you could be dead from within a few weeks to some months. A few made it for a few years.

Many places, especially the nightclubs, had fishbowls full of condoms all for free.
