What a treat of a read! You didn’t belabor anything but touched on everything!! I was highly entertained by your writing style, and I so relate to the losing and making new friends thing. If they don’t think like me, they aren’t even a candidate (my words). How could they be if we don’t share the same values? Makes it simple. I am so sorry for your low ebb, but I’m glad you’re popping your head up now!
as a life long sufferer of depression i understand and offer the only thing that truly helped me, and that was going on a keto diet. it changes the gut bacteria and makes them happier, when they are happy they tell your brain to cheer up. it really works
Oh my dear GM, I realized this evening while reading your post how much I love your Substack/you. Even though funds are tight right now - as hubs and I prepare for the great famine and end of times die-off - I went ahead with an annual subscription. I figure that we’ll be able to enjoy the work of an excellent story-teller while we’re wasting away from starvation and radiation sickness.
Will be checking out the Canik Rival ASAP. Hubs thinks we need to expand the arsenal to protect homestead and our crazy, whiny, wimpy, pacifist liberal neighbors when the Chinese make land.
You are missed. Reading your words are a bulwark to wanting to smother the living shit out of some folks. In some way, I suspect many of us feel we’ve been treading water for the last two years. Congrats on the new armament! Nothing like the feel of steel and the sound of pew pew pew.
Post when you post. These days, I am just glad that folks I follow are keeping on.
I read your take on Rachel and the DC Juggalos to the fam whilst on the road. They're in agreement but not happy about it. Truly hope you are mistaken.
I really enjoy your Molly Bloom-style train of consciousness.
Tiw, mumble grumble bloomin' joormans not being able to pronounce it right mumble grumble. Ah well, being lefthanded just like him makes me biased anyway. As I'm sure you know, Tyr put his right arm in the jaws of Fenris as security when putting the chain Gleipner on him, and when the chain choked him, Fenris bit the arm right off. There's a moral in there somewhere...
Depression sucks. I know that beast well, it put me in a bottle for four years straight, and if not for meeting my wife it'd have put me in the grave. But you know how to beat it.
Roe roe roe your wade... our media are having conniptions and joyful hysterics about it. Apparently according to pundits in state media, A handmaid's Tale is a documentary about present day US. And for this I must pay tax? I mean, as I understand US liberals and whatnots think we here in Europe have unlimited and unregulated abortions? Well, about that: week 12, that's pretty much it here. Later than that and you need to get it approved for medical reasons.
Viking martial arts? Must be glima.
Leather anniversary... if ever there was a term ledning itself to innuendo!
And that bit about Albuquerque and Rachel and so on had me guffawing for real - I could somehow see the whole scene in the mind's theater.
That bit with having trouble keeping female friends, that's virtually ubiquitous for all strong women with backbone, grit and integrity. That's no flaw or anything like that - it's the opposite!

You have been missed.
I'm glad you are back on your feet and fighting. I will have to look up Viking martial arts.
Hopefully you also saw Pelosi elbow the little girl. She's really showing her true colors in her dotage.
Welcome home. You have been sorely missed….
Most happy to hear from you again! As another reader said sometimes a quick don't think about it to much thought dump is just the thing.
I'm glad you're feeling better. I actually enjoy the posts you just throw down right quick...
bingo on federalism
(i really should be sleeping)
Welcome back.
Welcome back. And thank you.
