19 was rock bottom for me. Because I was abused growing up, I was desperate to get out of the house. But because I was abused growing up, I was not equipped to function in the real world as an adult.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Ah, but look at you now my dear...
You are a marvel.

Thrive to spite them
I didn't cancel Hulu because I didn't want to deal with with M's mom and her drama that would have happened. Although if I can get just ESPN unlimited I might convince her that is enough. And we have Prime because of football.
I've been watching Taskmaster on Pluto . Alsa they only have a few seasons and we are almost done. And I want more because Pimento from Brooklyn 99/Derek from The Good Place was on a season (or two maybe ?) and I've seen some clips and he is totally funny and unhinged. And I've also been watching The Great Canadian Bake Off on Roku channel .
I want to watch Murderbot but I'll wait until after football season and cancel some stuff.

Assata passed away today, at 79, in Cuba. My brain is full of words, but they all sound so hollow.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
All of Taskmaster is on YouTube.

Joe Jackson has the song Nineteen Forever so there is some musical love for the age there.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've heard your words, Karl. While I'm familiar with that sense of inadequacy, I'm sure the words only sound hollow to your own ears. Feel free to say what you want to say, though I think I mixed up this person with Tupac's mother Afeni, so I'm a bad revolutionary right now I don't cancel anything cause it's not my money, though maybe I use it a little less.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm afraid I mostly just recognize her name enough to know there is respect due.
I have balanced my checkbook or whatever you call it when there are no checks involved, and I have a good chance of not getting overdrawn before payday, hooray! And this is when my extra money from cashing in vacation time comes in, so I'm excited about that. I'm gonna pay so many bills, y'all! Or maybe just one bill but extra hard. But it's exciting!

Dear Extra-wide Pickup Driver,
You do NOT want to play chicken with someone driving a 20-year-old Chevy that's already been bought back from salvage after the insurance company totaled it. Stick to your own lane!
