Did anyone else see the clip of GWB speaking at the Bush Center where he makes a “slip of the tongue” and says Iraq instead of Ukraine when talking about one man’s ego leading him to invade, and then laughs it off and says “Iraq too.” I don’t understand people laughing at it. I feel you all understand. I would post the clip but I don’t know how. Another one? I know he did that last year after the war started but I don't remember the venue. Oh I have no idea when it happened, it was a video that was just circulating in my social media today. So it easily could have been from a year ago and I just now saw it. Still grossed me out either way, ha.

We know George, that tiny conscience exists and you feel a way about getting to heaven.

Speaking of fireworks safety. It is SOOO dry here and it hasn’t rained in weeks. I live in a rural area and there’s a field fire every day. There have been multiple agencies banking fireworks and any kind of burning, but you just know there will be idiots that will still set them off. Yeah, we have a burn ban, except for fire pits. Which still seems like a bad idea. Our city is supposed to set them off tomorrow. But we're also supposed to get storms. Did you get hit by the bad one today? My aunt is still without power and MH said they closed the interstate near us, so he couldn't get to work.

Every storm skips right over us. The farmers are struggling.

I wish I was surprised by all the bullshit from the SC but I’m not. And I’m angry and sad and mad.

It feels really disheartening reading the SCOTUS make LGBTQ people second class citizens. I told my H I guess its good I decided to marry a cis man instead of anyone else I am attracted to, because apparently we just keep sliding backward.

The gun thing is such a huge deal with DV protection orders. I know we can't know what they will decide but this would be a massive blow to protections for survivors and I would not be surprised if, in the event SCOTUS rules that this violates the 2nd amendment, DV murders go up.

The DV case makes me irate. So victims already are terrified to step forward typically and one of the only items that might have a slight way of making them feel safe is now going to potentially not be there. What the fuck world do we live in.

Continuing the streak of awful. The fuck!? Are they serious? Do they not understand why people who have restraining orders because of DV shouldn't own firearms? Are they that stupid, or that cruel? Don't answer that.

So, if you're a POC, LGBTQ+, a young millennial who was preyed upon by predatory lenders, someone requiring an abortion, or a victim of DV, you can go get fucked? Is that what I'm gathering today concludes? Because that's all it feels like.
Equality for all, my ass.
I hate it here.
