how to say someone's acting like a toddler without saying they're acting like a toddler

my favorite line from the debate:
"Clearly, he is having a very difficult time processing that"

is it possible to not be eternally confused and miserable with T-squares and grand crosses?

I feel cursed
(Sun opp. Asc.) sq. (Pluto opp. Mars)
and
(Uranus opp. Chiron) sq. (Mercury conj. Venus)

edited because I got one of em mixed up first time

according to what I think I hear her say around 1:27 here

I wonder if I'm related to Dolly Parton
I might be comfortable not trying to find out
just indulge the fantasy for a while

Friday 9 August 2024, roughly 9 pm. Content warning: death of a beloved, with a dash of anger at the medical system

the end was as peaceful as anyone could hope
he slept for his last two days
when the commotion of day quieted
night freshly fallen
he opened his eyes
heard our final words to him
and gently they drifted back shut
and he breathed no more

it was not unexpected
it was a surprise sudden decline though
because maybe they didn't spot the C. Diff.
soon enough
he was getting stronger after the radiation therapy
but then . . .

I've just returned from my childhood stomping grounds
to the relative loneliness of where I live now
I am tired
and coincidentally have an appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow

I want someone to ask JD Vance

if his reason to restrict voting rights to those with children is based on who has biggest stake in the future,
wouldn't logic dictate to restrict the right to vote to children alone?

July 29, 2024

how about instead of disenfranchising those without children

we disenfranchise everyone BUT children.

I'm being silly,
but I've often wondered what would happen if we lowered the age to vote,
and to how young?

my heart palpitations have cleared up (knock wood)

when my friend on Cape Cod told me the VP was there, I got this
"uncanny" feeling. I'm not sure how to describe it.
Then Biden stepped aside and endorsed Kamala Harris.
I felt that initial terror of a sudden unexpected change,
but it abated and transformed to an uplifted hope like I haven't known since . . .

then my heart palpitations started to ease up and I haven't felt one in a day or two now.
I suppose changing to a different roast of coffee may have contributed but,
well, both reasons would be nice

"WE ARE NOW FULLY COCONUT PILLED IN THIS HOUSEHOLD"

seen on fb just now. This is good I presume. I think the young people are gettin fired up

for my 351st post

in about five seconds using nothing but my brain
I calculated that 351 is not a prime number.
What's one of your super powers?

I've said that Biden's the guy that's drawing me back toward the Democratic party

from the Independent wilderness.
I started to despair with all the talk of pushing him out, and I'm grateful that's come to an end.
From what I've heard from Harris she's well-poised to keep pulling me.
So, yea! keep doing that, Democrats
