fandom 10 in 30

I set a timer that locks me out of Tumblr after 45 minutes as my stress has risen through the roof and I was beginning to feel hopeless.

And my overarching goal this year is to find joy.

And stressing out over my country to the point I can't function is giving them what they want. They want us afraid and helpless to quit protesting and crying out and voting in the midterms.

So mental health break today and tomorrow and then back to shouting and making it clear that this isn't right.

According to polls Republicans also Don't think Trump should take Greenland by force and another poll shows he's loosing support amoung the Gen z men. It's dropped 40 percent.

Here in my area of Florida, close to Tampa, in a region that overwhelmingly went for Trump, my neighbor is no longer flying his big black Trump flag and the pro Trump bumper sticker has vanished. Same thing with a few other areas that had pro Trump stuff still up in December. May they continue to open their eyes and help us keep Democracy.

In other news, I started listening to the full cast audio of Harry Potter and I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm debating going to the cinema to see the extended edition of Lord of the Rings in the theater. Seeing that 25 year in front of the signs though.

I'm old, Gandalf, I may not look it but I feel it.

I turn 42 in May. I have to schedule my first mammogram this year.

We have a freeze warning tonight brr.

Having a high anxiety day today. I'm getting too much politics and it's causing me too much tension.

I had to delete Instagram last year because it was causing me too much stress hope I don't have to delete Tumblr. I know there is much to fear but I also fear too much stress will kill me.

The news coming out of Iran is terrifying. Where are all the people who shut down universities and protested free Palestine everywhere? And ignored the fact that Hamas is a terrorist group that Palestinians should be free from? Who ignored the hostages? And sometimes even posted that the hostages deserved it even the Bibas children for being Jewish.

Note: I'm not Jewish nor am I saying Israel isn't deserving of criticism but denying the atrocities of a terrorist organization, ignoring facts, and in general supporting a terrorist regime is not the way to go. And frankly, Israelis protested the hell out their government begging them to do everything to get the hostages released alive.

Some people are saying those protesters are silent because the current regime in Iran hates the US and Israel.

But they are also killing the citizens of Iran. Where's the Un? The protests?

The silence feels damning and loud.

Then there's everything going on in the US. Demanding Greenland. Harassing citizens and immigrants and native Americans and generally Ice is being domestic terrorists.

Lots of people are protesting and loud so far not erupting into the violence the government wants to declare martial law.

Free Palestine from Hamas. Free Iran from the terrorists in charge. And free the US from Maga.

Let there be peace on Earth.

Rant over.

I'm so tired today. I had a doctor's appointment. The office required every 3 month to maintain my prescription for blood sugar meds and such. The follow up of the follow up of the follow up... For the past four years of follow ups.

It was a good one. My blood pressure was a lower normal reading, my weight was 13 pounds lighter. I'm morbidly obese so that's great news. Left with the promise of blood work in my future and the paperwork to get a mammogram.

The rest of the day was spent working on my farm in farm together 2 and avoiding playing dreamlight valley. I haven't wanted to play lately.

We had a sub for dinner because Ian's work got hectic in the late afternoon as one of his clients screwed up and made it Ian's problem. So when I mentioned the sub shop had a buy one get one sub...

Nori cuddled me a lot today as well. I also got the spreadsheet working again for the fanfiction yearly challenge on Tumblr.

It involves keeping track of the fanfiction I read and I'm curious which fandoms end up on top and which ships.

I finished reading my first book of the year last Friday. It was the English translation of a Chinese book. The English version is called to the sky kingdom by Tang Qi. The whole time I was reading it I couldn't put it down and thought it sounded like the C-dramas my best friend adores. And lol and behold it is. The drama is called Eternal Love and I'm enjoying watching it acted out but with changes of course. The book was better but
I see why they made it chronological the book is constantly switching times as she remembers things. But it was a great book that I apparently got years ago for free.

I'm also working on a book for the sub stack group Big Read where this year we are reading Les Miserables all year a chapter a day. So far I'm enjoying the read but I don't know anything about the plot and it's a slow but charming start.

Jasper has been sleeping through the night again for the past week hopefully he's over whatever was bugging him for the past few months since he had eye surgery. Where he'd come in screaming and scratch at my husband until Ian carried him to the couch and slept out there with him.

Let's see is there anything else going on? Hmm...

I made beef stroganoff with Spätzle for the noodles and it was so good. I'm going to be sad if Aldi's doesn't have the dried Spätzle noodles again. Last year they only had it for a few months.

There's the recipe if you want the most delicious beef stroganoff I've ever had. We used portalbella for the mushrooms as those are the only ones Ian likes.

Here we go a nice fun post that doesn't center around how stressful things are. It's almost like back in the good pre 2016 days...

Had a planned fun post I had worked on in my head a bit of a review of a book I read and a series I'm watching.

And then this news was posted on Tumblr and WTF

Why is it a Floridian? As a Floridian my state is beautiful, our coastlines are gorgeous but everyone of our politicians should be thrown into the sun.

What the fuck is this obsession with Greenland?

Why do you want to risk world war 3 only we'll be with Russia and be the bad side?

Hopefully it's a bill that doesn't pass but so many Republicans have no spine and no brain.

I'm going to go insane.

A synagogue in Jackson Mississippi was burnt down this weekend. Antisemitism is on the rise. Our country is throwing people into camps sometimes even citizens, Ice is killing civilians and so much of the world feels like it's on the edge of war.

Have enough of our vets died that we've forgotten the high cost of war?

Then you have the bravery of the Iranians. I hope they endure and defeat their own government.

But seriously why Greenland? Why pick a fight with our allies? We can already build a base on Greenland without needing to own it.

I just.
