Hey Y'all; have a poem from the Chronic Juoy website,
https://chronic-joy.org/i-can-still-have-joy/
I thought that in light of knowing about Social Security here in the U.S. - this would be an interesting excerpt to post.
'Diary of Seaman Stumpf'*
This book was edited, translated, and with an intro by David Horn - the author of the Mutinies book.
I got this as it's referenced quite a bit in the Mutinies book, and Stumpf is also mentioned (once) in Scapa Flow 1919. I had just finished Scapa Flow 1919 not that...
This is a follow-up posting to the previous blog effort as requested by @Hufsamor -
Also, another long read, so please don't overdue it on my account. :-)
Brief Background
Over the course of several years, my former employer continually threatened (or often tried) to fire me, in efforts to...
I walk the night, to bring in the light.
Solstice eve.
On a very, incredibly challenging time on myself these past few months. And maybe you feel similarly. So, I shall share something I read today about the dark.
This suffering is immense, but sometimes sharing parts of our journey with each...
Basically every one of my partner's health practitioners and doctors have thrown their hands up and said "your body is too messed up for me to help".
My partner is having to taper off Amantadine now, the first and only medication that has touched their dysautonomia, their first time in a year...
How come my hands aren't as steady as they were half a century ago? What's up with that?
🤔
There's no legitimate reason for ... oh ... yeah ... I forgot ...
😕
Even so, the actuality is that I am thankful to still be able to do this as much as now allowed.
😊
WARNING: This effort includes in excess of 4,000 words. And I apologize for that, but I couldn't decide what exactly should be cut. So please, please, please, read only small bite-sized portions. My goal is NOT to trigger a P E.M. episode, nor the dreaded P.T.D.S. (post-traumatic death...
A YouTube short posted December 3, 2024,
Hey, I'm gonna say this is a worthwhile 10 and a half minutes of your time.
Oh, and at least skim through the comments too.
Just came across this while posting a video to send to Julie, Now THAT is my kind of fireplace video!

Gotta love NASA.

This book was recommended to me by a librarian and I decided to look it up and after reading the description, I decided to buy it:
Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for World War I. It reveals how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the...
So here's my current (print-bound) library...:read: Since it's a long list, I spaced the titles out so it's easier to read. I put these in chronological order as well. I'm mainly going to focus on all my historical books in this 'blog'.
*Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World...
“Let me take you by the hand
Away from here
To another land
Oh this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
'cause you're always putting me down
I can't take this anymore
I decided to leave
Walked out throught the door
Oh, and why do you...
Disclaimer: I don't have ME, but I am a caregiver for my partner who has been fully bedbound with very severe ME fir nearly a year now, and we've heard most of these from friends and family, and my partner has explained why these are the wrong thing to say, even when they come from a place of...
A month in to a bad MCAS flare after taking choline twice, my partner was advised by an MCAS specialist to take Lorazepam three times a day for a month, to use its mast cell stabilising properties, since it's a medicine we already knew they tolerated. We were told at such a low dose, for such a...
Dear world,
I wanted to share a portion of my life with you today. I have been given eyes to see into a world I never knew existed 8 years ago. And, it is my duty to share …. That we have such a long ways to go.
I want to show my immense gratitude for the encouragers. Although no one can...
Came across this while looking for online references to document what I was contributing to a question on Tumblr about writing characters who are wheelchair users.
Is this not one of the coolest, most considerate, things you've seen?!
😁 😇

I can’t listen to music right now but parts of this song keep playing in my head today.
