Unless you live way off the grid (and if you are reading this you probably aren’t) you’ve noticed that vehicles here in the US are getting bigger and bigger. This trend has been going on for decades and shows no signs of slowing down even as gas prices climb. And I don’t get it. I grew up on a farm… Read more »
The other day while on my way to the local grocery store I noticed a group of kids in their lates teens or early 20s all wearing identical red T shirts at the gas station across the street. They were out campaigning for someone- I don’t remember who. It made me thing of someone I haven’t thought about in years…. Read more »

But, we are living in the stupidest timeline, so truth is hard to come by ANY day in certain circles. As a… Read more »
I’ve been recovering from a very nasty stomach bug. In between the vomiting, the hallucinations (I ran a high fever for a while), and the wishing for the sweet release of death I had a lot of time to stare at bad TV.

Everything I said 2 weeks ago I still true in spades. https://beckypalmer.me/?p=5489 I encourage everyone to support the good people of Minnesota here: https://www.standwithminnesota.com/ There are dozens of organizations here doing everything from supplying cold weather gear to caring for pets of detained persons to food banks….

Have you ever had a dream so real that after you wake up you aren’t sure if you were dreaming or not? I’ve had a rash of them lately. Most recently, I dreamt that my dear husband gave away our cat Lilly. I have no idea why I would dream such an absurd thing. But it was SO real that… Read more »
I’m physically tired- it’s been a very good but very busy week and I’m still recovering. I’m also mentally tired. The government shut down has caused a sharp uptick in the political memes online which gets old fast, and just living in the shitstorm that is the US right now takes a lot of a person.
