Ain't nobody got time for that.

They're breaking ground on the new airport, which we need like the proverbial hole in the head. It's not like we don't have enough pollution already [and drought exacerbation, which is what contrails do, and this is a 1,200-year drought]. We also have the trickster winds that should be two months away yet, but when it's getting up near seventy every day, fifty degrees too warm? Welp.

The news is unrelievedly bad. We need to know what's coming, but I can't let myself dwell on it, because the whole point is to overwhelm us into paralysis, and ain't nobody got time for that, very literally. The whole world is running out of time on every conceivable front, and since people, governments and individuals alike, are refusing to make even the most minimal necessary changes, those changes are gonna get made for us all very soon. You can only do so much killing of the planet before the planet's death throes smack you silly, and a lot of people are in for a very big surprise.

But meanwhile, they can make life very deadly for the rest of us.

The world is still on fire, they're still coming for us all, and we still have to worry about our communities, about our relatives [both of whom are disproportionately affected by this illegal "funding suspension"], . . . and about us. Last year was indescribably bad on pretty much every single front, especially sales. This year, already a month into it, and it's not appreciably better. I have GOT to make some sales, since we've had only two so far in this new year, and we're already in the second month. It takes at least one sale a week [sometimes more] just for us to break even on the year, and last year? We didn't even do half that. We're going to have to replace the well pressure pump, without question. Taxes are coming. My laptop apparently will have to wait yet another year [assuming I can keep this alive that long, which I can't assume for a moment, actually]. So now would still be a good time to buy. TONS of new and fabulous work on the site, and tons more on the way, too. But I've got to sell something, for the love of all that's holy. I won't survive another awful year like last year. Every day I wake up to pain that was worse than the day before. I also wonder what will happen to us if it gets so bad that I can't even do this much every day. Lately, that day is seeming like it's maybe not so far off now, and that scares the hell out of me. My current pain levels make me worry that it might be nearer than I know, and I don't know we'll do if that happens.

Links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are probably most useful at this point); 
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year, this one far worse than the last, we urgently need to begin 2025 on a better footing before taxes take every cent, so please share all of the links.
