A colleague passed away. His family asked for donations to β€œBlacks in Government,” which he was involved with for decades. Reply from racist woman: β€œI honestly have an aversion to supporting DEI or otherwise selective charities. I will donate for [a plaque] but not for β€˜Blacks in Government Inc.’”

My wife was at Goodwill and saw a couple of Mormon missionaries. She overheard the following from two women in line:
β€œWhat do those Mormons believe, anyway?”
β€œI don’t know, but they aren’t allowed to have windows.”

Can you imagine?
Wife: I’m really struggling with depression.
Kevin: These charts say you shouldn’t be.

I feel like starting a business making bumper stickers that read, β€œDon’t blame me. I know how tariffs work.”

My sister, who is married to a GA, once randomly told my wife how garments are a blessing because husbands know not to ask wives to wear lingerie. My wife said, β€œUm, I *like* getting lingerie, and my husband likes it on me.” My sister was horrified.

Another thread brought up this question: How do Mormons define β€œhappiness”? I always thought happiness was keeping the commandments. If I was doing what I should, I was happy, no matter how I felt.

He uses the shit-ball approach. His β€œargument” starts as a small ball of shit, which he rolls in an ever-expanding spiral away from the point until what’s left is a massive, faint beige stain, and you can’t remember what the original topic was. Oh, and adds charts.

Thank God I was never like Kevin. Ugh.

Yep, when I was a believer, I would have said I was happy, even though I had long-term untreated clinical depression.

I heard that talk cited multiple times on my mission in the mid-1980s.

I’m home, thankfully. I spent about 5 hours in the ER.

Normal temp, still tired and weird rash things on my legs.

The weekend started badly: 103 fever, trip to the ER, lots of tests, diagnosis of erythema nodosum (literally bumpy rash). But I come here, and there are no Nazis and no Mormon white supremacists. So, things are looking up.

β€œThe Deep Sleep,” Wright Morris, 1953. Ostensibly about family and grief, this beautifully written book explores how we fill in the gaps of our lives with meaning and myth.
