Hey there Hubtender. Gimme two rocks with two fingers of Shelter Point single malt whisky from Vancouver Island, please.

Been off facebook for the most part for about a month now, I guess, and I don't miss it at all.

I'm also in a severely idle phase, right now. Not really engaging with anything. Don't have any interests I am pursuing. Don't want to do much of anything at all. Completely flat and bored and OK with that.

Which is really weird for me.

Much of it comes down to Trump, and the Republican shenanigans. The form of the beast is taking shape, and it's bad. Really bad. Friends of mine are going to die. Another one was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday, and her Obamacare will be gone in the next 2 months, or so, just as the charges really kick in. She's a stay-at-home recent mother with a part-time job, who was hoping to return to full time work this year. Yeah... the world has other plans for her now.

And it is going to take another 25 years of fighting and wrangling to get America back just to level after the current batch of Republicans die off or get caught in airport bathrooms doing the nasty. Much less, make any gains on our progress over the last 30 years. The hatred is in power now, and humans everywhere will suffer for it. Good people who want nothing more than a job, a place to live, and food on the table, will be denied all of these things because of their gender, sexual orientation, color of their skin, or other equally meaningless physical trait.

I stand on the shore, watching the wave rise, knowing the tsunami is coming and that I am too late to run, hide, or do anything other than watch the destruction wash over me. It's like Jin's last scene in Rogue One up in here...
