So.
(Deep sigh)
I have an entire drawer marked, "Hinges & hardware," & just discovered that all of those "new old stock" hinges have only a single hinge in each packet.

And they're all different. 🙄

So, I went to #TheVulcan's hardware stash, & just had to share everything that Image
...is NOT a door hinge.
Ever since I started re-selling, the Vulcan has taken anything that didn't sell, salvaged the hardware from it, & saved it for future use.

Meaning, even though we have NORMAL hardware like this... ImageImageImageImage
We also have things like this:
-cabinet soft-close hinges
-door stops
-metal gears for SOMETHING
-bearings from God knows how many Nordic Tracks. ImageImageImageImage
Ooh, this is actually my stuff. Why is it over here? 😂 ImageImageImage
I have no idea where these came from, but they're cool. ImageImageImageImage
#TheVulcan got a bunch of hardware for attempting to make chess pieces. ImageImageImage
Probably old gate hardware from his dad's family farm: ImageImageImageImage
Hey, it includes a set of hinges!
(But they're way too small for a giant teak door.) ImageImageImageImage
Cool looking gears, some scrap metal, &...I think that's a radial arm saw that we got for free, & thought we'd never use, & #TheVulcan took it apart to save space? I forgot about that! I wonder if it will still work...? ImageImageImageImage
And here's some stuff I'm not going to get to, bc that would mean moving the giant-ass chevron table top I made last winter, & still hasn't sold. 🙄

So yeah, that's our hardware stash, lol. ImageImage

My husband just said, "If he wins, it's not the end of the world."

I looked at him & said, "I almost died." 💔
(Like, for real, almost died.) Image
Somehow it just got worse.
Me: "We lost the Senate. Meaning even if she does win, they can steal it."

Him: [climbing into bed] "Well, these things go in cycles."

Me: "You literally know nothing about this. [He'd just said so, earlier tonight!] If they enact Project 2025...

People are assuming this is an electoral college thing.

We need to stop assuming that.

I recently learned something from my husband, who is a Federal employee, that bothered the hell out of me.

I don't remember the topic, but I asked him, "Why doesn't the Department of...
"...Justice have more monitoring of [whatever we were discussing.]?"

Him: "Remember, unless there's a law that specifically tells government agencies that they can do something, they can't do it. Anything not explicitly spelled out in the constitution is reserved for the states
"....& doing any tasks that aren't expressly spelled out in a service or agency charter is forbidden."

Oh.

/Oh!/

So, this is the land where Trump's loopholes live.

I'm guessing he, or someone who handles him, knows exactly what these different departments can & can't...

I just wanna be awkward here for a second.

I don't think we should mock weird sexual experimentation done by repressed conservatives, as long as it was safe, consensual, & ethical.

I cannot explain the degree to which conservatives have HORRIBLE information about sex.
I've mentioned our 18 yro babysitter in Ohio, who didn't know what an ovary was, right?

I've also known of a pastor & his wife who, while prepping for the wedding of church members, had to explain to the bride *what sex was,* b/c no one had ever told her. 💔
Any sexual thought, feeling, or attraction, not experienced in a heterosexual monogamous marriage, towards ones own spouse, was a source of OVERWHELMING shame.

This is the kind of shame that would render you immobile for days.

Why?

Because, "Every other sin is outside your

You all know I've made some *weird & wild* connections over the years.

I'm about to make the weirdest one yet, so get ready:

A piece of James Bond #Fanfiction proves that the govt has been lying to us about #COVID19.

Seriously, & I wish I was joking.

Let me explain.
In 2019, I discovered that people have written entire novels, some of them VERY long, about existing fictional universes.

Even better, they're FREE on Archive of Our Own!

I could download them on the free Evie voice reader, & have them read aloud to me while I...
...do boring, repetitive, tasks.

There are over 400 stories that wrote Ben Whitmarsh's "Q" character in the James Bond movies as a 3rd brother to Sherlock & Mycroft Holmes, which I think is hilarious.

(Please remember, before Covid, I was going back to school, to b/c a Psych

Oh my God.
Folks, they've known for at least a year that COVID directly attacks mitochondria.
Seriously, it's on the NIH dot gov website!!

Did you know abt this?
I did not know abt this!!
.nih.gov/news-events/ni…
If they knew this what exactly did they think would happen?

Did they expect our mitochondria to just GROW BACK like a fingernail?
HOLY SHIT:

"During early infection, mitochondrial gene expression was altered in the brain even though no SARS-CoV-2 was detected there, consistent with a systemic response to the virus."

@karamellslp ...in the first place. In my experience, it's not possible to jump ship from one set of beliefs to another---it has to be a long, slow, sometimes painful, process.
@karamellslp The problem is that, meanwhile, anyone who is pregnant, or on any spectrum of queer, still has to listen to the judgement of someone who has *no relationship at all* to their lives. The idea that we would have any input in the medical or marital decisions of other people is...
@karamellslp ...laughable.
Who are we to decide which families can live together?

Who are we to say that a pregnant woman w/cancer has no choices regarding, "Do I fight to keep this baby, or fight to stay alive to care for my other two at home?"

It's LUDICROUS that we spend so much...
