UNHAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welp. Everything didn't take long to fall to total shit, didn't it?  I *SAID* 2026 was gonna be a worse year, and goddamn, I didn't expect to be proven right in FOUR FUCKING DAYS.

I've been in the mother of all depressive fits for four days, caused by having been an absolute dickbag to my mother. I'm exhausted, because I haven't slept well in... ever?  But particularly the last several days. I fucked up my finances with some accidental purchases and unexpected expenses, so now I've gotta grind at work extra hard.

And that's without even getting into the beginnings of LITERAL WORLD WAR III or any of the other horrors that are unrelated to me in the FOUR FUCKING DAYS of this year so far.

To everyone who watches me in Venezuela, I am SO sorry, and I do not stand with our administration.  Know that MOST of our country is against this action and justice will be served one way or another. I am absolutely horrified by this.

My featured picture kinda says it all about my mental state right now. I am a fucking wreck. I've been trying to write, but nothing's coming.

...Honestly, not sure why I'm even writing this journal, other than to vent. *Sighs.* Why do you people even LIKE me?

This whole mess has been a long time coming. 9/11 really kicked it off when the whole country just decided to give the president just unchecked power and authority without congress to do whatever the hell he wants. Congress only has one course of action, the nuclear option, impeachment. There's no checks before that because they've been whittled away little by little to give the president the power to act 'decisively' without needing to be bogged down 9 months of bickering in Congress. That was the POINT though, since making it difficult to act impulsively was supposed to be a check on the presidents power.

But now you can do just about anything with an executive order, including apparently kidnap foreign leaders without a declaration of war, because fuck having congress. And judges, especially the fucking supreme court, keep handwaving it saying "Look, it doesn't EXPLICITLY FORBID x,y, or z, so it's a congress issue. They need to change the law to add that if they want him to not have that ability."

The SC walking back the "race is an acceptable criteria for random checks" is the first sign they've shown a fucking spine this administration as that was so far even they had to walk it back.

I'm desperately hoping that Trumps lowered popularity is going to finally give the moderate right wing a spine so they actually push back because so far they're so afraid of Trump's disapproval that anything less than kissing his ass effectively ends their careers. The likes of Mamdi and such winning elections in a landslide is hopefully a sign that the core base on the right and left, the leaders who are so out of touch, are losing power and that more independant and less "Good old boy" candidates will be winning seats.

Why do I like you? Because I sympathize with you, I commiserate with your feelings, and I like your work. I follow artists whose work I like, not out of obligation from them to do something, and certainly not because I demand they do something for me for free, but because I want to be there if they choose to do more and to show that I respect their effort and want to remember them.

... to be honest, this stems from the fact that we all but ignored the political philosophy pessimists and those adjacent to them. We ignored the Thomas Hobbes, the John Lockes, the Machiavellis, the Edward Berneys, the Chinese Legalists, and more because they said things that went against the assumption that humans are good when the reality is that they're flawed AT BEST or that technology doesn't determine anything when the fact is that technology (and the understanding of the universe that it implies) DOES determine practically everything from what you eat to your rights and freedoms to even how governments function.

Don't believe me? Just start taking a good look at history and it'll slap you in the face.

Some of us like you because you vent and stand for something. It's a sign of someone who cares and its easier to care for someone who cares enough they hurt. It's an awful start to the year, who knows how bad it'll get, but we're there with you in being mad about it too.
