I always like to help other people out, and as I came across this cute little shop (via some health related videos, long boring story) thought I would mention it. I don't know her, she doesn't know me, we've never talked, chatted, met, she has no idea who I am. However, because many people are struggling with inflation, the cost of everything is crazy nuts, and some people, women, trans people, etc...often have a hard time finding unique items that they might enjoy, that fit, affordable, vintage, unique sizes and so on...if it might help someone out, and her, well here you go. It's a site hosted and run through Etsy, (same as mine) so it should be legit and reputable as far as credit cards, privacy etc... Mad Envy

Different topic. I came across the following meme online. I thought it was funny, but most of the people that commented on it were losing their fucking minds.
Does Anyone Remember Laughter?
(See what I did there?) :)
What the hell is wrong with people? Everyone is SO damned...AUGGGH!! at a moments notice. Edgy. Raging. Freaking the fuck out. Ranting about toxic this, and implication that, and cancel culture, trying to get people suspended, banned, blocked, fired, evicted, arrested, persecuted, cancelled, whatever.
People...humor is supposed to be edgy and offensive. Without comedians mocking someone, making fun of a demographic, laughing at human nature, what would they talk about? Planets? Fish? There is no quality humor related to planets or fish alone. (Okay, Uranus is the exception...but that still relates to human beings, lol.)
The whole point of comedy is to laugh at the irony of our being, our existence, our idiosyncrasies, our odd behaviors and neurotic habits, stereotypes, the stupid things that we, as human beings, do, say, how we act, dress, walk, talk, fuck, eat, what we eat, our politicians, our politics, our culture and other cultures, religion, sex, pretty much...you name it. That's the point of comedy, to enable us, to laugh at ourselves. I laugh at the dumbass things I do, laugh at myself, every single damn day.
There are so many serious, ugly, nasty, scary and tragic things that happen on our planet, every second. A meme? Not one of them. No one, no sane rational person could view the above meme and seriously think it's advocating rape. The only people that think that way are moronic keyboard warriors who consider themselves to be Social Justice Warriors, from the comfort of their couch, in their well heated and appointed homes, with snacks and a refreshing beverage, while bitching about their 1st World Problems...the fucking lameass idiots.
This is not news as I've written about it before, but I dumped all social media many months or years ago. I have no social media. Nothing. No Twitter, no Reddit, no Instagram, no SnapChat, no TikTok, no Facebook, nothing...at all. I have this blog, that's it. And I have never been happier, and never been more pleased with that choice. The decision to delete all social media...to avoid the sort of drama queen pillocks and simpletons that would get upset over a meme like the one above, or raunchy comedians, or risque jokes, or irreverent comedic observations, don't need it, don't want it. From my perspective, the more raunchy, the more offensive, the wittier and more objectionable, for the most part, the better it is. I don't enjoy sit-coms with the "one liners" and a laugh track. That, to me, is just boring. My point is...we're here on this planet for a short time, live, enjoy, laugh, have fun as much as possible, enjoy life, take a stand on the serious issues, but people should use better perspective and judgment while deciding which issues are worth getting fired up over, and which ones are not.
Fine.
Now then, who wants to take me to dinner, and buy me some flowers and chocolate? :)
