“I started this blog in April 2019. I’ve been posting as frequently as I can, and continue to strive toward advocating for improving your quality of life. I’ve written about deeply personal experiences, advocated for workers’ rights, and touched on religion. I’ve explored satire and politics.”
Mandatory 4 weeks off paid time off federal mandate. Let’s share this to show Congress how much we care about workers’ rights!
The most profound experience so far has been reducing my food budget. I was spending well over $600 on meals each month. Then, I moved to a home with a nice kitchen. Prepping meals consisting of roast potatoes, asparagus, bell peppers, and meats, I’ve cut that down to $200 per month. Add in eating out and I’m at about $300. [Rant included].
His followers have a strong faith in God, but God doesn’t exist. Have I further embraced Atheism as a way to counter the wrongs in this country — the wrongs of the religious right wing? Their beliefs put myself and my friends in danger and it’s used under the guise of “religious freedom”. I haven’t believed in God since my Bar Mitzvah. I tried.
“It’s been just under a month since I moved into a new home and pieced together my budget. I’ve kicked thrifty mode into high gear. Since moving into the new home with roommates, I’ve been able to save $140 per month on utilities and Internet, $300 per month on food, and $20 per month on laundry. This house has everything included and I’m excited to find thrifty ways to save money.”
“What should I do? Is working with people with disabilities a career I should continue? Is my lack of focus due to my current employer or would this struggle translate to any employer? How do I reduce the paperwork that I’m required to do?”
“Faraz and I had arrived in Quartzsite, Arizona. We made our final stop outside California off the 10 at a Love’s Travel Stop. We then stocked up on water and the basics. We’d driven 1881 miles over 7 days and had another 260 to go. We had left Chicago and stopped in Springfield, IL, St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Flagstaff, Phoenix, and a number of small towns, notably Grants, NM”.
“It’s been 9 days since I broke my the 5th metacarpal in my right hand after a freak accident. I’ve struggled to write since then as it’s been 12 days since my last post. I took a typing test with one hand and averaged 40 words per minute [380 more words].
The homelessness crisis in LA is untenable. We’re living in a world class city and not the slums of fucking Karachi. LA inhabitants regularly deal with trash and hoards of shopping carts left on the curb and the street. [513 words]
“Was there any way to convince this man with a confederate flag tattoo of logic or reason that Barack Obama was not a communist? What point does it hold to inform a coal miner that the work they do is destroying the planet? How could one ever convince an ignoramus that homeless individuals don’t use drugs when all they see are tents filled with ne’er do wells and dregs of society?”
One of my dearest events has been joining a very rad book club. We recently celebrated our one year anniversary and I was able to assist the bartender on making a ‘Brooklyn’, introduced to me by my good friend, Matt. The current book we are reading is "The Master and Margarita".
There’s been a lot of talk about the diction of the “immigrant child detention centers” used to house hopeful families at the southern United States border. The left wing feels that concentration camps" is acceptable. Meanwhile the right wing feels that concentration camps is an unacceptable term. So, what do we call such facilities where families are separated and some neglected to the point of death?
“America’s favorite press secretary (next to good ol’ Sean Spicy) has finally handed in her resignation and will be relinquishing her command. While most of Sanders’ job consists of lying and making up shit, Sanders certainly deserves a shout-out for being the third woman ever to fill the position. Good for you, Sarah! America will miss you as much as Mike Pence loves third trimester abortions.” [454 more words]
By the time I was 9 years old, I was no stranger to the Internet. Online gaming had been around for about 5 years already, but it was still a relatively new concept. Gaming companies like Sega and Nintendo likely fought fiercely to come out with a uniquely online multiplayer game, but the infrastructure just wasn’t there.
