What book could you read over and over again?
If I were stuck with one book to read over and over again, it would be Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy omnibus.
Semantics, but it is a singular volume. Hehe.

I did not get enough sleep last night. I overslept today but was barely late for work. I had to drink a Monster to get through the day, though. Zero Sugar one, of course, but still, caffeine was needed.

9 Month Old Ground Pork
3.5 Hours Worked
So, I went to go make dinner tonight only to encounter an issue: the pork I thought said Jan 2023 said July 2022. I mean, at least it wasn’t 2021 like the frost-bitten pork chops I pulled out of the freezer last night?

How would you improve your community?
Hooo boy do I have opinions on this. I don’t take this as online community, but rather the material world around me.
Here we go, the cliff notes version:
- Run for political office to better my community by enacting legislations that help rather than hinder
- Make widespread community gardens a thing again, victory garden style if we have to
- Abolish HOAs entirely
- Allow felons the right to vote (didn’t we have a whole goddamned war about taxation without representation??)
- Make homeless shelters more accessible to those that need them
- Plant edible parks
- Protect members of the alphabet crew (LGBTQIA+ peeps)
- Enhance local libraries
- Get local law enforcement proper training for dealing with de-escalation and providing non-lethal responses
- Open more food pantries
So. There we go. That’s a starting point.
My opinion.
