It’s just too bad that half of all Democrats have only recently awoken from their peaceful nap in which they dreamed of fair or reasonable media coverage of the issues.

Sometimes, I’ve just gotta step a huge ten yards back from everything because I realize “the world” has started to affect my mental health. Really. I’ve found the news of the last few weeks just wrenching. I’m trying to figure out if that’s because it actually has been worse than usual or if it’s just because I’m losing it. Wev. It’s awful.

The week started with that New Yorker cover and me saying out loud several times, “WTF?”

So I stepped back my ten yards and let everybody else do the work. At a certain point, I guess I was “back” so far that I began to find it funny. No, not the cover, but the responses of all the supposedly “intelligent” people. Those who complained were without wit, without a sense of humour, too sensitive, allowing themselves to be sidetracked by an issue that wasn’t THAT important. And so forth. I laughed because people have been saying that shit to feminists as long as there’ve been any and, from a distance, it all sounded just pathetically. funny. I’ve adopted the word “asshat”. I really like it.

As for monetizing, I can’t speak from the POV of a monetizer. But as one whose reading life is increasingly monetized, may I just say I find it such a relief to see a nice clean blog that isn’t covered with blinking lights and advertising copy. And quite often, the ads are blaringly inappropriate for content of the blog. However, why should it not be Historiann whose getting some of da dough? No reason. I’ll keep coming back, whatever you do.

See ya soon.

I don’t have any t.v., but when school is in I have no choice but to watch Morning Joe from the top of an eliptical maching, with the sound turned off. It’s not bad that way. You can make up your own banter. Did we ever get final results from that Texas caucus yet, by the way, or are they still counting? What a spring it was, I’m already nostalgic!!!
