I am having a hard time focusing on anything today. I’m getting my work done, it’s just tougher than usual. I keep peeking at the internet to see how bad the markets are. I guess the numbers in the US started improving slightly before the numbnutz in chief announced a new 50% tariff against China. Fucking nazi putz.
I did see a flyer online that was interesting. I re-posted it and now I am sharing it here too. Mostly so I don’t forget about it, even though I will probably forget about it… you know how trauma fucks with your brain….
Our calendar is currently clear on Saturday April 19th. It’s the anniversary of me and Jen moving in together. It was 2008 and we rented half of a duplex. I will forever refer to that day as our Duplexiversary. Maybe we can sneak into the city and yell at the nazis with a big group of people. I would have liked to have done that this past weekend, but there were other things going on that demanded my full attention (ie: the kids were home and it was awesome).
I tried listening to some podcasts in the background while I work in the hopes that it would distract me from the soul crushing current events. Nope. Didn’t work. Now I am listening to vintage prog rock (a play list of Genesis records released between 1971 and 1977). We’ll see if that makes life a little better. I doubt it.
Fucking nazis.

This is one of those times when the news is so soul-crushing, we need to disconnect from social media for a bit
I had to do this at times during Covid. When that was going on, I would just go old-school and watch one of the network’s evening news broadcast. Otherwise, I was just getting too many contradictory headlines flying at me

Earlier, before a new tariff???, I was watching numbers sink in real time.
I know it’s counter intuitive but I think I’ll be spending my money with businesses and countries that are fighting back instead of simply passing on the costs… farmer’s market (immigrants) and China.
