Dear People of the Future...

I am writing this on Saturday, July 2nd, 2022, at 10:30 PM.

It’s the 4th of July weekend, the big patriotic holiday here in the United States of America. I’m sitting on my couch, with my cat Charlie curled up next to me, and some lo-fi beats playing on the tv.

A week ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, the court decision that made abortion legal across the entire country, and made a host of other shitty decisions that are going to make everything worse for a long time.

This sucks, and I and a lot of people hate it.

Last year, we narrowly avoided a racist, fascist coup that tried to overthrow the Presidency so that a fucking asshole moron con artist could win a second term. The next coup will be not so easy to narrowly avoid, and I am extremely pessimistic about the future of this country. Hopefully eventually shit turned around, but I suspect things are going to be fucking awful for a long time.

This sucks, and I and a lot of people hate it.

Monday is supposed to be fireworks and patriotism and there’s no fucking way I can muster any fake enthusiasm for that shit.

So yeah, that’s where we are right now. Everything sucks and I expect it to get worse.

Good times.
