Until now this would have been a stupid question - this is my home. But we're in a strange timeline. My background is I was born in the UK, met first husband, married, got green card, that went tits up, divorced, met husband 2, found forever love, married, naturalized in 2021. Have my passport and everything.

It's my dad's birthday, and he lives in the UK. I want to go back and celebrate, but I'm nervous about reentry into the US. I naturalized during the Biden presidency, and I am a Democrat, I feel nervous that I have a target on my back. I have a home and pets here. Am I ridiculous for worrying or should I be cautious about leaving right now?

He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.

I've got a great life, I am not trying to avoid tomorrow or whatever, but I just really like staying awake when I'm absolutely balls ass tired. It's kinda addicting, like the sleepier you are, the more insanely good the sleep will be. So I find myself struggling, on purpose, to stay awake. I force myself to read books, or watch shows, or go on Lemmy... and I only just realized it's because I love feeling sleepy.

So uhh, anyone else got this?

They gave my cat ket before they euthanized her. She looked absolutely blissful, but certainly in no fit state to run a government.

Ahoy foragers! I know it's been a cold quiet winter, but we're standing at the base camp of a very fruitful season of foraging! I saw the other day that a morel had been spotted in Georgia, and I did some crunching of data soon to be published on my soon to be published website, and have it on good authority that next week might be our first promising window for morels!

I've never eaten one, have no idea how they taste, and am on one hell of a mission to find one this season.

She's a proper part of the family now! After two failed attempts, she's landed at her forever home. She seems to know it too - she waits at the top of the stairs when it gets to bedtime and screams until we go up and tuck her in with us.

Little old lady spends 20 months in prison for blocking a main road and being mad at rich people.

President of the United States, insurrectionist, creep, man who suggested he'd got a Nazi to hack the elections, certified felon, spends ZERO months in prison and gets to have a party.

This is why I smoke weed.

I had chatgpt write me a frustratingly vague monologue to waste their time:

Dear DEIA Truth Team,

I hope this message reaches you well, as I have some observations that may be of considerable interest to your work. These observations, while still in the process of being fully understood, appear to touch on activities or initiatives that align with the themes outlined in recent communications from the OPM. While it is difficult to provide an immediate and definitive characterization of what I’ve encountered, I strongly believe there is something here worth your attention.

Initially, I wasn’t entirely sure of the implications of what I had noticed. It began with something very subtle—a detail here, a phrasing there. But as I continued to reflect on the broader context, I began to see patterns emerging. These patterns, though intricate, seem deliberate in their nature, almost as if they are designed to fly under the radar. This has led me to believe that what I’ve come across may be relevant to the goals of your initiative.

The observations I’ve made are not something one might notice at first glance. In fact, they could easily be dismissed as unrelated or coincidental. However, when examined more closely and considered within the framework of what your office is working to address, they start to take on a clearer shape. I’ve been carefully studying these patterns, and while the full picture is still forming, there is enough here to suggest that further attention is warranted.

What’s particularly intriguing about this situation is the degree of subtlety involved. The language I’ve seen used, while outwardly innocuous, carries undertones that suggest a deeper alignment with DEIA principles. It’s as though certain elements have been intentionally crafted to avoid detection, while still advancing a particular agenda. This level of precision and strategy is not something that happens by accident. It suggests a well-thought-out approach, one that may require careful unraveling to fully understand.

I’ve noticed, for example, repeated references to concepts that might otherwise seem harmless—phrases like “inclusive practices” or “collaborative approaches” that, on their own, wouldn’t raise any eyebrows. But when you start to look at the context in which these phrases appear, and the individuals who are using them, it starts to paint a very different picture. There’s a certain consistency in the way these terms are being deployed, and that consistency, in and of itself, is what stood out to me.

As I reflect on these observations, I find myself coming back to the same questions: What is the purpose of these recurring patterns? Why are certain individuals so focused on framing their work in this way? And how might these efforts connect to broader organizational objectives? These are not easy questions to answer, especially given the limited information currently available. But I feel strongly that there is more to uncover here.

It’s worth mentioning that these activities do not appear to be confined to a single department or initiative. Rather, they seem to be part of a larger, interconnected effort that spans multiple areas. This interconnectedness only adds to the complexity of the situation, as it suggests a level of coordination that goes beyond what one might typically expect. It’s this aspect—the apparent coordination—that I find particularly noteworthy.

The more I look into this, the more I feel that I am only scratching the surface of something much larger. There are layers to this situation that are not immediately visible, and it’s only through careful observation and analysis that these layers start to reveal themselves. It’s a process that requires patience and attention to detail, as well as a willingness to dig deeper than the surface-level information.

I’ve also noticed a certain reluctance among some individuals to engage directly with these topics, which in itself is interesting. While I cannot say for certain what this reluctance might signify, it does add another layer of complexity to the situation. It’s as though there’s an unspoken understanding among certain groups, an understanding that is difficult to articulate but impossible to ignore.

As I continue to reflect on all of this, I find myself thinking about the broader implications. What might these efforts mean for the organization as a whole? How might they influence future initiatives or policies? These are not easy questions to answer, but they are questions that deserve to be asked. The implications of what I’ve observed extend far beyond any single instance or individual, and they speak to a larger trend that is worth exploring in greater depth.

At this point, I am still working to make sense of everything I’ve seen. There are pieces of the puzzle that remain unclear, and I am hesitant to draw any firm conclusions until I have a more complete picture. However, I feel that it is important to share what I have noticed, even if it is still in the early stages of understanding.

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that there is something significant here. It’s not just about the individual details, but about how those details come together to form a broader narrative. This narrative is one that I believe is worth your attention, and I am committed to doing everything I can to bring it to light.

I will continue to monitor the situation and reflect on what I’ve observed. As more information becomes available, I will revisit my findings and work to deepen my understanding of what’s happening. While there are still many unanswered questions, I am confident that the truth will become clearer with time.

In closing, I want to emphasize that these observations, while still incomplete, are not without merit. They represent the beginnings of a larger story, one that I believe has the potential to shed light on important issues. I look forward to seeing how this unfolds and am committed to sharing any additional insights I gain along the way.

Best regards


Here's the prompt if you wanna do something similar:

Write an email designed to clog up a tip line while appearing to provide valuable information. The email should start with an urgent and promising tone, implying the sender has critical information. As the email progresses, it should become increasingly vague, repetitive, and frustratingly unhelpful, never offering any concrete details or actionable insights. Make it as long as possible without offering anything useful or clear, and avoid giving directives like "please let me know" or "how to proceed." The goal is to waste as much time as possible while maintaining an air of importance.

I am obsessed with entering competitions, and I've won quite a few by now (I got free tickets to the same music festival seven years in a row due to my dedication). I love hearing stories of what others win and how they use their winnings.

For me, ramps and morels! I know we still have a couple of months, but I'm already prepping my knowledge and researching my locations.

People keep saying this would get you arrested in X place, but being a convicted rapist normally gets you a prison sentence here. Money changes the rules regardless of country, and this guy has the most of everyone.

It seems like sloppy bastards are a thing that happens to most people, and yet no one talks about it. I'd like to talk about it.

Wait, let's see... I have to spend hundreds of dollars a month so when I get sick or injured, I have to pay hundreds of dollars upfront to meet a requirement to still pay a large portion of the bill. All so some mediocre guy with excessive wealth can buy another yacht. My health is a commodity to them. And I'm supposed to give ANY fucks when it all goes wrong for them? Did that dude spare even a moment to think about the people choosing a slow agonizing death to spare their family a life of medical debt? This man ran a racket that paid for his vacations with people's lives, and now it's come back to bite him (to death). I ain't mad.

I'm a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like "plz no, stop" if they get too near to him.

I'm now wondering if there's a market on the other end of the scale...

And the non kitten fellows! We wanted a third cat after adopting two kittens years ago. We were so over the erratic nature combined with the roll the dice luck of whether they were floor pissers, plant eaters, etc, so we decided to look for adult cats. The only one the shelter had was this mongy manky stray who was estimated to be 5 years old. When we went in the adoption room with her, she looked at us and did a massive wet shit that made us all evacuate the room. Her adoption photos make her look mangy, aloof, old, dirty, and distant, not to mention smelly.

Later, when the poo particles had settled, we went back in and picked her up. She sank into my arms and I just knew... I cried and couldn't bear to let her go.

Four years on, her shaggy fur has became soft, her distant eyes started slow blinking and showing emotion, her little frame filled out and she became an absolute hellhound for dinner time. When you walk in the door, no matter who you are (literally, you could be a burglar), she will run up to you and do this silent meow asking to be picked up. When you hold her, she purrs so much her body shakes and she drools until her face is dripping. She will climb into bed and play little spoon at night, and she loves laps all times of the day.

We've had her 4 years and she no longer does wet shits, but is the same loving cat that melted when someone held her and showed her love. She converted me to older cats.

Holy shit that's a horrifying number. And this is just the pregnancies. I have no words other than FUCK TEXAS.

She did. Just a little bit because too much makes her shart, but a crumb or two never hurts.
