Guess what, guys? On August 16th I finally started an online store for my T-shirt designs. It was three years to the day of Joe's heart transplant. Custom Ink has been printing my shirt designs for years, but only for my personal use. Custom Ink is great. My rep suggested that I test it out with one design and make it a Fundraiser instead of a store. So I did! This is my "Bear With Me" shirt. I made this one ten years ago at the lowe…

On August 13th I put up a #ThrowbackThursday post on Facebook. It threw all the way back to March 22, 1946. That's the day Grandpa DiPoala was Honorably Discharged from the army. James DiPoala had been, in the parlance of his time, "shell shocked." That's a term that originated during World War I to describe PTSD, and my grandfather came back from WW2 suffering from anxiety, depression, tremors and the inability to speak. He di…
They
hate the hijab and they have no idea why. That's why I am always saying
"there are no smart racists." The average racist couldn't tell you who
wears the hijab, what it stands for, or what's the difference between a
hijab, a wimple, a veil, a tichel, a dastar, or a fucking Amish bonnet. They just see the hijab on a woman and fly into a rage. As a matter of fact, the quietly intelligent woman who spent an hour twice a…
So
I have this uncle. He’s like 80 or thereabouts, I don’t know exactly. I haven't talked to him in years. For one thing, there was some questionable stuff surrounding his interest in underage
girls (including family members), and for another thing there was something shady about his overseas finances that was never
explained. He is definitely, without a doubt, 100% a liar, and not a very convincing one at that. My Lord, the stupid lies w…
Oh
brother. On August 3rd Stephen Miller's wife actually said of Dr. Fauci "Every man who has a journal is narcissistic." Keeping a journal is narcissistic now? And is that only for men? What an incredibly dumb thing to say. Tell me you don’t know any writers without telling me
you don’t know any writers. These people do my head in, Jesus.🙄
So, you guys know I have my blog cross-posted on various platforms. Well, I also considered posting on Substack. Then, as I do, I read the Substack Privacy Policy . After which I rejected Substack with a quickness. The Substack Privacy Policy is essentially "there is no Privacy here." It's even worse than the Google Privacy Policy update they published on May 26 of this year --the update that sent me running back to Diaryland to writ…
You guys, I'm having a vision problem at the moment. I have to step away from blogging because I can't see the fucking screen. Doc says it will resolve on its own and that there's nothing to worry about ...
