Tired

Posted on June 26, 2019 by Silverwynde

I am tired. Very tired. This morning, I was almost late to work; the bus was running behind. As to why, I don’t know. And I don’t care. Because seeing the bodies of a migrant father and his daughter, drowned … Continue reading →

And I’m Done With Humanity for the Week

Posted on March 26, 2018 by Silverwynde

I found this via the Friendly Atheist and I wish I hadn’t: the parents of a 16 year old girl poured hot oil on her because she didn’t want to get married. I wish to hell I could say that this was bullshit … Continue reading →

Kill Your Heroes

Posted on March 11, 2018 by Silverwynde

“Imperfect” doesn’t begin to describe it. It didn’t take me long to finish When the Emperor was Divine; I managed to get through the last two chapters in twenty minutes. For such a slender volume, it packs quite a punch … Continue reading →

Posted on February 21, 2018 by Silverwynde

I cannot believe that I am typing this. I am so not joking. But Dinesh D’Souza–yes, that Dinesh D’Souza—tried to be “cute” when it came to the survivors of the Parkland school shooting. And by “cute”, we mean a trolling pile … Continue reading →

Sick and Damn Tired

Posted on February 15, 2018 by Silverwynde

We know about Florida. We know about the school shooting in Parkland. We know that the shooter trained with white nationalists and that the gun was legally purchased. There are currently 17 dead, with the toll possibly rising within the next few days. … Continue reading →

Another Turning Point

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Silverwynde

One of my managers said a while back that she didn’t know much about me. According to her, I haven’t been very open, so no one really knows the true “me”. After today, I can honestly say that this won’t … Continue reading →

Glass Rocks and Stone Houses

Posted on December 6, 2017 by Silverwynde

(I’m currently listening to the Cave Theme from Pokémon Sun and Moon. It’s very soothing, which is something I need right at this moment.) It happened today. Something that I feared would happen but had been hoping against hope that it … Continue reading →

This is Real and I Quit the World

Posted on September 9, 2017 by Silverwynde

I. Am. Done.

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Silverwynde

So one of the jurors who voted for Bill Cosby’s acquittal has come forward with his reasons why. Among them? Oh, just that Andrea Constand had a bare midriff, which totally implied consent to sex; since her tummy was exposed, … Continue reading →
