...Because, That's Why (Regarding The Absence Of Politcal Posts This Time Around)

"But you used to write about politics..."

Yeah. At one time I did, yeah. Here in Blogger, back to 2012. You can find all those passionate, researched entries by searching on "politics" in the search field. In my Diaryland blog, I have essays from the 2000, 2004 and 2008 elections--that is to say, from the Hanging Chad to the Provisional Ballot to (sweet relief) YES WE CAN! I don't have any entries from 2020 to July 2025, when I just didn't have the mental fortitude for writing.

I can't do it anymore. I don't have the best mental health, for one thing, and while I am better than I was ten years ago, I have to take care of my mental health every single day. Every. Day. Plus I had a stroke, most likely caused by high blood pressure, so focusing on this stuff is the last thing I need right now. I learned to walk and talk again, but don't have use of my right hand. And thirdly, and I cannot stress this enough, I have said all I have to say on the matter. Y'all know how I feel about it. All of it. Women's issues. Immigration. Equality. Civil rights. Race relations. LGBTQIA issues. Donald Fucking Trump. Class warfare. Nazis. Guns. God.

I already said it. I've been saying it for years. Blue in the face, and all that.

You guys, I am just so tired.

But I realized last night that plenty of others still have fight left in them, to call out the fascists in power and their acolytes, and I can just amplify their voices on Diary of a Low Budget Superhero. I've been capturing headlines and so forth in the Photos in my phone all this time, so first I'll post those here. I thought about posting these screenshots one-by-one, but decided against it for the sake of my Followers that get an email every time I post a new entry. After this entry, we'll see. Blessed be.

Get all that? Okay. So here's what's happened so far. It's been 342 days.
