Monday Blues
Fuck me.
I forgot to set my alarm last night and woke up late. Then I remembered that I’m still earlier than most of my coworkers, and no one really gives a fuck. But I do. So I run to my office area without my glasses or clothes and turn my computer on.
For the first hour I was a mess. Nothing made sense. But as I was simultaneously working and getting myself washed up and ready and caffeinated, things were getting clearer.
That’s ok. Nothing still makes sense.
This weekend some people in the disabled community were up in arms because people were making fun of the president by calling him “Diaper Don.” My reading on this was his temper tantrum about losing the election and shit and acting like a baby. But some folks thought it was a dig at disabled people. I thought that was the stupidest thing, so I texted my cousin Gina whom, some of you might know, is a paraplegic. Her reaction to the uproar,
That’s dumb. I think they’re just overly sensitive. When you’re a disabled person you have to learn not to take everything seriously otherwise they can’t survive in this world.
I would have interpreted it as making fun of a baby, not a disabled person.
Then again, she is, as my friend Jess would put it, as sensitive as a brick.
Whatever. We know babies are stupid as fuck, anyways.
So I turned off my social media. Fuck you all. I don’t think I missed anything.
