A friend once pointed out to me that if you have to tell yourself this, you should stop whatever you’re doing (e.g. pouring bleach while wearing your best shirt) and reevaluate.

Some medications can make you constipated. Opioids, for instance.

I’m used to wealthy guys like this never having to answer for their crimes, so it’s nice to hear he’s at least being investigated. Not holding out much hope this will go anywhere, though.

I haven’t deleted my account - it’s 17 years old! But I also haven’t posted in a couple months other than saying I’ve moved to Mastodon. I said I’d hold on to the bitter end & I will. I’m not leaving, they’ll have to evict me.

I grew up in CA, but moved to the Southeast after college. I’ve gotten used to hurricane season here, but it’s wild to see a hurricane/tropical storm hitting the west coast while the east has been unbothered so far this season.

I wonder if it’s the combination of climate change & El Niño making things so weird?
