Seems like I’m avoiding posting because
1) Nothing seems interesting enough to share
2) I just want to rant.
So, Instead of choosing (1), I choose (2).
What’s lately annoying moi?
I’m tired of people taking offense at what others say. Oh, he used a racist word, Oh! She has a stupid opinin! Oh, Look at that article isn’t he horrible! Oh, I’m offended! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Be the dude. Recite after me: “That’s just … like … your opinion … man.”
If you dislike the position of an opinion of another (usually post, article, etc) fine – argue against it. But the vilification or “action” based on statements of others is such a colossal waste of time and effort. Actions should be censored, not opinions or statements. Fight ideas with ideas, not censorship.
I’m taking porch monkey back, too. And I don’t care that anyone knows I think you can love little mambo and be anti-racist at the same time. Stop chasing windmills and start making change.
rant over.
So to hit (1), let’s see –
1.a. Had 3 tonnes of fun in Seattle visiting
1.b. Was sad to disappoint K and N (our bestest friends) by bailing and flaking on SoaP and other things — they do deserve better than that and it sucks sometimes to be the fun-killer. We’ll obviously need to make it up.
1.c. Thinking about PROJECTS to do house-wise. I think built-in bookshelves will be the next order of business, at the same time the monkey hut gets a 3.1 do-over. Our fore mentions fabulous we-don’t-deserve them friends K and N gave us this rad light-up puffer fish, so need to re-do lighting, re-stock booze, clean.
That’s all folks. Happy Thursday.
P.S. if any gracious soul wants to gift me with a year’s LJ subscription, I promise I’ll post more. 🙂 – I suppose I can afford it, but that money always seems to be better suited elsewhere, you know?
P.P.S. smoochies
