Saying that there’s a war on Christmas because some people don’t spontaneously wish you a merry one is like saying there’s a war on your dick because some people won’t suck it.

After the assassination, the FBI was called in. They didn't know who did it, but they suspected that some of their people might be involved, so they destroyed evidence, just to be on the safe side. The CIA was called in. They didn't know who did it, but they suspected that some of their people might be involved, so they destroyed evidence, just to be on the safe side. One or more other hush-hush government operations did likewise. So now we no longer have the means to demonstrate the connection between the killing and its true mastermind: Fidel Castro.

National Coming Out Day
Oct. 11th, 2023 05:42 amTo those who have taken this day to come out as gay, lesbian, bi, or trans, I offer my best wishes that you get to do so at as little cost (in all ways) as possible, my admiration, and my thanks for helping make the world I live in a less stupid one.
To those who think, as I do, that Coming Out Day can include all the forms of sexuality that can offend people whose business it is none of, I direct your attention to my userinfo if you did not already know that I am part of a happy, long-lasting, committed three-person tuple.

Memorial day
May. 29th, 2023 04:49 amAll honor to those who gave their all. None to those who lied them into useless wars.
It is International Transgender Day of Visibility. I see you if you want to be seen and not if you don’t.

Nov. 24th, 2022 04:59 amWhat I'm Thankful For
1. Bernadette Bosky
2. Kevin Maroney
3. Some of the smartest, nicest, most interesting friends & acquaintances in the world, specifically including those belonging to my dreamwidth/livejournal and Facebook reading lists, my electronic and postal mailing lists, and the two apas I am still in.
4. My body. It’s an evolved animal, the product of millions of years of fighting, breeding, and dying, with all the problems that would suggest, but as far as we know, the human body is the only vehicle mind has. (It's a ride.) I’m thankful for mine in particular because it’s a strong one. It has survived 80 years of as little exercise and nutritional correctness as I could get away with giving it, and now requires only moderate amounts of both. It has survived much abuse of assorted substances (and the only one of those I wouldn’t do over again is tobacco) and now survives without them.
5. My nation. Like my body, not the ideal place to inhabit, but good as actually existing ones go. My predecessors stole a good land from the natives and gave it good laws, including a constitution that still does much to protect us. When my own forebears came here much later, the immigration laws were tougher, and there were opportunities for people like them, who combined ability with pigmentational correctness, and they thereby flourished.
6. All other minds, past and present: those who created computers to expand my mind and a Net to join it to others, medicines that allow me to survive the previously fatal weaknesses of my body, and words and pictures that have enriched my thoughts, and all those I have forgotten or taken for granted.

Loving Day
Jun. 12th, 2022 04:53 amOn June 12, 1967, the undemocratic, activist Supreme Court struck down all laws forbidding marriage between people of different “races.” Happy Loving Day, everybody. It later struck down all laws forbidding marriage between people assigned to the same sex. The userpic indicates that now that we’ve done gender, number is next.
