I was an abused boy trying to deal with his budding sexuality being gay. I did not think I gave off signs but the bullies sensed my vulnerability because I did not form friends and stayed to myself. So they attacked me. What shocked me was not that the bullies attacked me but that the teachers in the 1970s joined in, giving the bullies full permission to do so while restricting my grades. Remember, I was not an out gay kid, I was an abused boy trying to keep his head down and get by each day. But the future maga sinced my vunerablebiltey and attacked me. Once it went around the school my entire teen school years became agony. That is what the republican Christian nationalists are trying to drive us back to. It changed in the 2000s with anti bulling and anti-discrimination programs. tRump’s amdin has desperately attempted to remove all those programs and protections. Hugs
Plenty of gay men took their husbands name or they both hyphenated both their names. So these gay couples would not have a matching birth certificate. I am one of those. I took Ron’s last name deperatly wanting to leave my abusive adoptive parents last name very far behind. Hugs
About these letters. Allison Gill on the Daily Beans news podcast gave sourced reports that ICE detention agents raided the children’s rooms at this detention concentration camp for children / families and took all their letters with the intent to destroy their reports of what was happening to them. Allison Gill has sued the government in court to save them and get them published. I fear it will be too late. Hugs.
We know from testimony that there were abuse videos made and sent to Epstein. Trigger warning the meme below is very graphic and difficult to read. Hugs
I went out shopping early this morning. Then I came home and after putting the stuff away I did all the dishes. It was not a lot but three days worth and last night I cooked a good meal. I am washing all the bed linens and all the towels in the chairs / places that Tupac lays on. So as I try to do they cartoon / meme post for tomorrow …. My mind is fractured. So these songs are in my mind. Sorry if this hurts anyone. Also remember I am not in danger of self-harm. I won’t do that to all of you who I respect so much. Hugs or best wishes to all as you appreciate the gesture. The songs below are shattering my thoughts. I walk alone, and I wish for the sound of silence. Oh, to have the thoughts in my mind stop! I desperately wish for it. I have not eaten yet today, nor did I after breakfast yesterday and Ron has called me 3 times asking me to eat. Even telling me to order something if it is more pleasing to me. I just can’t. I bought salad stuff today so maybe a salad later. I am so confused. I had four more ready to post and suddenly realized it was useless. Is my life useless? I do good things. My husband loves me. His cat sleeps pressed up against me at night, yet even last night as I struggled to sleep and he moved up onto my pillow I took no comfort from him. I am feeling so numb inside when I let myself feel anything at all because the government is forcing my pain doctors to reduce my medications despite the new MRI showing severe and increased damage to my spine. My doctors say it my be necessary for me to do surgery to get relief because RFK Jr. has determined that all pain clinics lower their clients morphine equviancy to less than 100. Those who do not feel chronic pain or live in long pain because they dont hve to suffer … well illegal drugs all of a sudden get a hollier than though about drugs. Seriously, this former drug adic is restricting needed medication from people like me with seriously damaged spines and no contributions to his campaigns. But drugs from a qualified pain doctor can mean the difference between living a quality life and suffering in even more agony. Hugs
I am sorry. I do not not want to worry anyone or cause fear. But I feel so… out of sync with the world. I just hurt. It is part physical and a lot emotional. The MRI I had just had showed many parts of my lower spine are showing far more damage than my doctors had thought. They thought I had a few more years before surgery. I cannot afford surgery. The MRI moved many of my lower vertebrae from the moderate to severe to extremely severe zone. One the report said was in civilian terms destroyed. The bone matrrial decaded, the inside soft stuff pushed out and the nerves were caught by the edges of the jagged edges of the bones both being forced out and being pinched and being pinced inside as I moved. It is why I cannot sit in my chair very long. Ron is going to get me an air seat when he gets home but I doubt it will help. I am sitting here thinking of why when my spine shows ever more damage the government is requiring that my pain doctors reduce everyone’s pain medications. Just because the former coke addict RFK Jr dosent feel the crippling pain that people like me do doesn’t mean he gets to stop our pain medication or at least shouldn’t. All that does is force us on to illegal drugs to get relief. I wonder if that is the point all along. Think of it, all the friends in pain suddenly not able to vote would change the election in plenty of ways. Hugs
Sorry, but I keep repeating the songs over and over. Hugs
Every body hurts. But today I hurt terribly. Sorry. Now I have to go struggle to make the bed because I washed the bed sheets. More pain. Hugs
from John Lustig, whose email helped me make up my mind what to post to acknowledge the day, and did a far better post than I would have done.
About Today’s Comic
The ellipses in today’s comic are where I abridged the quotes to make them a little more readable. (In general, I try to keep text as brief as possible in every Last Kiss comic.) Below are the full quotes.
Trump initially said that Reagan was his favorite. (Note: Trump was 34 when Reagan first took office, and 42 when he left.) So next Trump mentioned Lincoln as a possibility.
“Great presidents?” Trump said. “Lincoln was probably a great president, although I’ve always said, why wasn’t that settled? You know, I’m a guy that—it doesn’t make sense we had a Civil War….You’d almost say, like, why wasn’t that [settled]? As an example, Ukraine would have never happened, and Russia, if I were president. Israel would have never happened; October 7 would have never happened, as you know.”
Abraham Lincoln. This Jan. 11, 1837 quote from our 16th president can be found on the website for his presidential website here:
“In one faculty, at least, there can be no dispute of the gentleman’s superiority over me, and most other men; and that is, the faculty of entangling a subject, so that neither himself, or any other man, can find head or tail to it.”
The Department of Homeland Security has brought on a 21-year-old social media professional from the Department of Labor to help run its communications channels — despite internal concerns about N*zi-coded content he previously posted.
According to The New York Times, Peyton Rollins moved from digital content manager at the Labor Department to a key role in DHS communications this month.
His name is Peyton Rollins. C’mon.
This kid has definitely killed small animals.
Could central casting find a more inbred Nazi looking 21 year old?
There were masks on the walls in a room on Epstein Island what had a dentist chair in the middle. Howard Lutnick [current Sec of Commerce] lived next to Jeffrey Epstein on 71st St and both their homes were owned by Les Wexner. #TheEpsteinClass
Republicans love immigrant #PeterThiel and his rampant drug use. Republicans look right past his homosexuality. Republicans love his Big Government Palantir tracking your every move.
This all shows that it’s not about invasive, gay, immigrant, ketamine addicts. All that matters is who serves fascist white nationalism.
Billionaire sex abusers get more than due process, they get Republican protection.
I just cannot understand why they hate so. They refuse to understand or accept that some kids are born LGBTQ+ just as some kids are born cis and straight. They seem to think that children see LGBTQ+ people in society, in public, and in books / TV / movies then become LGBTQ+. It doesn’t work that way. They reallyhope all LGBTQ+ stay hidden either in fake loveless opposite gender marriages or stay single and celibate for life. They are not happy or content to live their lives as they wish, they demand the right to force everyone else must live as they do or by their church doctrines. Hugs
The video below shows a tRump administration nominee spews white supremacy crap, claiming the white people suffer the most discrimination in the US. Claims the white culture is being erased. But he can’t explain what white culture is except to claim that white Christians worship differently than black christians. Food and music are different and white churches and white food are being erased. Hugs
I have to ask why the republicans are against counting every vote of people entitled to vote by law. Why do they work so hard to restrict voter options and confine voting to a time and place where only their majority supporters tend to vote? Because they are not interested in representing the will of the people, they demand the right to rule over the public. The country better wake up because think of the right wing head explosions if the left was trying to restrict right wing voting areas. The right wants a single party rule like in China onely with them in charge. Hugs
If this goes through I will not be able to vote. I was adopted and my birth certificate has my adoptive parents names on it. In 2015 when the state of Florida allowed same sex marriages to become law Ron and I were the first ones in our county to get married. It was a wonderful event. But then I went to the Social Security office and had my last name legally changed to Ron’s, I am proudly Scottie Miller. I think everyone here can understand why I hated the last name I had which was the name of my abusers. So I was so happy to be able to change that and the forms that I was handed showing that came with a handwritten note of support and a heart emoji. Hugs
Understand none of these kids in that car did anything wrong… Other than being black. This is blatant racism being allowed to terrorize the nonwhite communities / people in the hopes of racially purifying and cementing the white people as the dominitate race while everyone else is a less than. This is an attempt by white supremacists in the US government / employed by the US government to create and inforce an US Apartide system. Horrific. Hugs
