Current Mood: Disturbed

2020-04-222020-04-22 Miss Poison Current Events Concern, Current Events, DragonCon, Georgia, Honesty, Poison In Lethal Doses

It's disconcerting to know that the state of Georgia has decided to reopen and force people back to work, in what will almost certainly be an issue with mass casualties. Just because your state hasn't seen New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington State, Italy, Spain, or China numbers does NOT mean you are safe and … Continue reading Current Mood: Disturbed

I take this moment to remember all of the people who were murdered during the Holocaust, including members of my family, where only a handful survived. The Holocaust was not "just Jews", but Gypsies, the disabled, the elderly, LGBTQ, and anyone who dared to speak up against the "process" of Hitler's twisted ideas, including, … Continue reading Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)

Anyone who has read my work for more than a month or two can likely tell you basic things about my character. My friends can tell you precisely who I am and what I stand for.

Started a post early this morning that isn't done yet. When a migraine threatens to birth enormous puppies of agonizing torture through your skull, you need to sleep and hope it'll help. Unfortunately, I woke up and it was worse, so I left a message for my doctor's office to get back to me. My … Continue reading A Splash of Humor, A Heap of Honesty

I took the morning to research a little more into who I inevitably chose to vote for tonight in the #MassachusettsPrimary. I had to consider my values into the checklist and see if anyone could meet even 60% of what's important to me, from A to Z. 🚫 I will NOT publicly endorse anyone, EVER. I don't … Continue reading Super Tuesday

Your goals and mine are probably quite different. Being able to change people's lives through honest words is a quality few possess and even fewer actually use. I appreciate those of you who e-mail me after reading something I've written, regardless of timing, to tell me I stopped you from harming yourself or encouraged you … Continue reading Life-Changing Ability

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/25/opinions/auschwitz-anniversary-recommit-never-again-lauder/index.html Four of my relatives survived Auschwitz. Two of them were freedom fighters who saved thousands of lives. Many relatives went from concentration camp to concentration camp, until they were completely lost to us.

Almost two weeks ago, I fell. It was as if my right leg had been taken away for a minute or so. The aftermath left me wondering how bad my knee is, as well as my ankle and foot. I quietly reduced the ankle swelling, but I've also walked on broken bones in my … Continue reading Holding Pattern
