Thanks to my dad when I soap myself in the shower I sometimes feel I am a pregnant man. Because I had once driven 10 hours for a visit and he asked when I was expecting.Because I am fat.Oddly that's not what caused the flashback, or flashbacks since it's oft a medley of fraught moments stitched together like the human centipede (have not seen; will never see).I cried as the medley still ran as I got out and dried off. I later stood in my room softly shouting "No" over and over.That slipped right into me; a corking beauty. Primal anger at shitty trauma. But what can you do? What the fuck can you do? |

Over the last several decades, the scope and influence of government has dwindled. Assets have been sold, businesses privatised, services outsourced, public servants retrenched, funding cut, and deregulation pursued. To what end?

It could be called a gulag mentality, though it finds form in different ways.

I have flat feet. For the most part they work like normal feet but they tire after not much and I have to take care when bare on a slippery surface because I will slip.Last night the left one cramped. I'd had fatigue pain before---wearing flat shoes inspires much pain---but this was something else. I couldn't bear weight on it and was forced to hop about on the other not great one. It took an hour of rest 'fore I could stand again. The day after afterglow is not great either. |
