That's the summer light, right there. Ironically, it reminds me of the summer skies at dusk in my own homelands way up north, or at least how they looked when I was a kid. Probably not so much now. They're having droughts and wildfires in the ot months now, something unheard-of there when I was young [save, of course, for the Klan's fires several decades ago, but that was a wholly different thing, albeit one no doubt on the rise again].
Yeah, the words "Klan" and "north" actually do go together. Much more intimately than most people know. My family has too much cause to know it up close and personal, back in the '20s and '30s. The regular Klan and their even more terroristic offshoot, the Black Legion, went after families like mine [and lots of other very specific demographics, too]. We're seeing it everywhere again now, too, even if they're not wearing bedsheets. They are wearing masks, though, and they're just as much a bunch of genocidal criminals and monsters, every last one of them.
It's been a hell of a day. Everything's late; I couldn't even get to two of the errands I was hoping to do today, because the other half-dozen ate up the whole day as it was. No sleep last night to speak of, and my pain levels just keep rising by the day. Chemo day, and it's not working, but I'd be worse off without it, so here we are. And then I got home to word that a friend was gone; I didn't even know she'd entered hospice six days ago. I've been stupid busy all the time lately, and I'm furious with myself, but again, here we are, and there's nothing I can do about it.
It seems like the first day of official summer should be one for hope. But the whole fucking world's on fire, and the light seems very small and inconsequential now.
We have that big tax payment due in in just days. I need to make a middling four figures' worth of sales to cover all of it. The likelihood of that by Sunday? Yeah. But I have to try. I would dearly love to cover them all at once and not have to worry about it for a while, since we know there are there are other huge expenses lying in wait for us. Which means, of course, that we still need shares, and we most definitely still need weekly sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered [and that will be a good long while]. I don't get any breaks from that, either. Links are here:
- Sales here;
- Testimonials here;
- Amazon wishlist here (new priorities, needed for Miika, and after refiling her meds we just can't swing it: 3-4 pairs of the fly traps [the second item on the list]);
- Patreon here;
- Ko-fi here.
After such a grim year last year, and the first half of this one at least as bad, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
