Lit Lover: July 2026

That's SO mean to SO many children in this country. And also mean to grown-ups. And people who should be acting more like grown-ups, but they don't know how to, I guess. So some children are probably picking up the slack for these childish adult-bodied people right now.

Or, do I stand corrected?

"Buffalo, New York also acknowledges a "Pulaski Day," which is held in the middle of July, and is celebrated with an annual parade."^[8]

By Buffalo games? Lol.

Today can have some good things about it, just like yesterday did.

Yesterday I sent a birthday present in the mail and this puzzle got delivered and I'm really excited to work on it over the holiday. And actually, this puzzle really goes with the weather because, I just noticed that stuff about Casimer Pulaski, and the June gloom extending into July outside is making it feel more like March!

"Lady Liberty's Independence Day..."

Well, the silly June gloom has carried over into July after all.

To honor my very odd dreams...

So much running away in dreams.

So far it's been: artistic people, people who went on the road and got lonely, church going people, attending wedding people...

I'm also driving and being blinded by snow or other elements and seeing a Native American person by the roadside and needing to stop and pull over and learn something else, some other way.

I wonder what the grandchildren will think of them.

I'm still really shocked by how some people who didn't seem that way not so long ago are still so aligned with Unwell Patriarchal White Supremacy.

The behavior of some people is getting pretty bad...

"I hate thinking about X type of people" and "I hate X type of people" are pretty much practically the same thing.

Pretty and a sense of humor!

I guess God will deal with their weirdness.

I met Conan and Elon and these rich white men act differently but they hate others who don't act like them so much it doesn't even make sense. I think maybe it's because they were duped into being used by the Patriarchy and people who don't act like them remind them that not everyone got duped and that information is not something they can very handle well. Highly Controlling White Guys have to find people who prefer them to feel okay about themselves. They're very fragile.
