Dear Allison & the Onyx Savant,
How are you both today? It’s a hard day for those of us who would just like to get along with things and fix roads and build homes and clean the oceans. But W.E.. ya know? A big fat “W.E.” to the Great Orange Motherfucker in the sky. Lord, now we just have to hope that ass-wipe Vance doesn’t LBJ his way into the Oval. I have been watching The Man in the High Castle as you know, and I have learned some great tips. Tip No. 1) Live anywhere else. Tip No. 2) Move often. Tip No. 3) The blond guy is always bad. No exceptions.
Sigh. Ally-san, it is totally fine and okay and perfectly natural that we will reschedule my appointment. I hope you are snoozing right now with Master Forest near you. Let him be there for you today. He will know something is wrong but not what, so you will help him in his confusion by allowing him to help you. It’s like lichen. I am likening it to lichen. It will be okay, hmm? You’re all right.
O.S., how many compartments do you have going on today? Have you got enough room in there? Or do you just have three or four and stuff more in? If you feel you are overflowing, please feel free to ventilate to me. Paragraphs and paragraphs about the yt man (and woman) is fine and fair. I will not even read it if you don’t want. Just an “OK.” Or you may feel you saw it coming and are just further along in the process.
I had a hope and even a feeling, but I did not allow myself to get over-confident. Thank goodness. I cannot believe that bag of carrot soup is going to be the “leader of the free world.” Hardy har. I suppose I will have to consume some news now and once he is in office. If only to stick my finger in the sky.
How would y’all feel about having our commune in Africa? There’s some quite lovely places there, really. Not everything is war-torn or filled with zëbras. I think emigrating/immigrating to an African country might be easier, and you know property is less expensive, most likely. We could probably buy a “compound” and turn it into our commune, O.S. Lol. We would have to have more security and personal protection than we are used to here, but I think that could be managed successfully, safely, and Swiss-fully. We will ISO 45,000 levels of compliance. [No playing around, Josh, you hear me?] I am also open to Brazil and Peru.

Video should work. It just doesn’t have a cool thumbnail. Neither do I, so I get it. <3

The Onyx Savant was asking for clarity on the difference between “compound” and “commune” when he was here. I basically told him I wasn’t looking to keep anyone in that didn’t want to be here, no one should think I’m Jesus, and I do not want to take any brides or grooms whom I do not have currently, tyvm. And fruit punch is for refreshment only.

“This is fine,” probably.

Well, we can’t sit around here all day, reading Threads. I’m glad I at least know now. Maybe it will help light a fire under my loins and guide my efforts. I hate seeing the grief from Black women on Threads, although I find it just and fair. It hurts my heart. I wish there was anything I could give people today, but I believe this is a day for gathering one’s skirts under one’s own self. Every person has got to do what feels right to them. So I will turn to myself and my “little workshop” and assess my situation.
I know I’m going to get groans from the peanut gallery, but I need to slim down my project list. I think I might not be able to be an astrophysicist and a comedian and a homesteader. >.< Not simultaneously, anyway. I am trying to do a couple of things in back channels. Isn’t that what tech bros say? Irons in the fire.

I suppose this is a list of some of my professional development, as it were. The only way forward is through, yeah? I’m actually trying to do the Mindset Reset thing. I need to get her printables. I swear, I think Oxford needs to make “printable” a featured word. They seem to be the bee’s knees, if you go by what’s online.
The challenge is from 2019. One video is from December 31, 2019. It’s odd to take myself back to that time and recall how different my life was and the world was. I was so terrified ALL THE TIME. I cannot stress that enough. And the screaming. If I was around more than a couple of people, the screaming would start. Just a constant background howling in pain through which I had to live, work, and try to be. I cannot deny that my life has improved, but I neither blame nor give credit to the president for most of it. He did forgive my student loans. That was materially helpful. The pandemic was difficult as hell for the entire world. We learned things, like how to do live streams and multicasts as a routine course of business. Anyway.
I’m happy to be me now in this place at this time.
