Waverly's Place

On the down hill side of the mountain, there is no time to be lost on regret, but a little time left for longing. This blog is the ultimate solo exercise; as entertaining as any of the solo activities practiced since youth. Writing, searching, posting, lingering. For me. Is there a word, I wonder, for blogging when you know you are the only likely recipient of the results? You may enjoy it, too. And just like sharing an otherwise solo moment with a friend, a lover, an admirer, a willing stranger, that would make it extra special. Feel free to let me know. Totally NSFW and Totally not appropriate for the under-age crowd. Hell, it's barely appropriate for the over-age crowd.

Add 30 pounds, 20 years, and a strap on and I think we'd be onto something.

Don't these people know that ICE "agents" have shot and killed Americans? Legal Americans. Non-criminal Americans.

OK, so maybe they weren't wearing hot pants or Daisy Dukes so they didn't get a chance to have AI paint them into a picture holding a proclamation of ignorance.

SIMPLE.

when you look into the abyss, it does not look back

it's a fucking abyss, it is not sentient, and it doesn't care about you

this is evidenced by tumblr posts that are important to me getting 0 notes whereas when i post something half-assed in a rand it gets 2000 notes pedantically tearing it apart

because the abyss? is just shit you care about

and the terra firma? is people on this website desperately wanting to argue cruelly with people

[waverlyplacenyc]

I sometimes think the abyss looks back with barely a pinhole of light all but undetectable were it not for the blank stare directed into the pitch.

It's that pinhole of light that blinds, pushing me back from the edge, compelling me to let the abyss go on without me for a little while longer.

Rest in Peace to Renee Good. ICE shooting an innocent 37 year old mother attempting to protect her neighbors is not an accident or an act of self defense, it is an act of terror designed to dissuade other people from stepping in, documenting ICE violence and reminding immigrants of their rights. Her son is now an orphan and the president of the United States is calling her a ‘professional agitator’ on social media.

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

The head of ICE is calling her a violent terrorist and claimed her attempt to back her car away was actually an effort to murder the ICE officers present.

There’s a reason that the Right have all rallied so quickly behind this narrative: it’s happened before, with ICE’s approval.

Renee is the ninth person to have been shot by ICE since last September; and in all of those shootings the victim was in a vehicle and the agents claimed that the vehicle was “a threat”/trying to “run them down.” One other shooting, that of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, was also lethal.

This is pretty clearly a sanctioned tactic being used by ICE repeatedly with an eye towards using the vehicle-as-weapon excuse later.

The USPS just changed how postmarks work - and it will affect MAIL-IN VOTING while hitting Americans with late fees on everything from tax payments to rent checks.

Starting in 2026, your postmark date won’t reflect when you actually mailed something anymore. Instead of stamping mail with the date you dropped it in a mailbox or handed it to a postal worker, USPS will now mark it with whenever their sorting machine gets around to processing it - potentially days later.

JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT YEARS MIDTERM ELECTIONS

[daysleftofsecondterm]

They can mess with ballots all they like. There is no electing them a third time. They only have 1,109 days left.

[jaydove-writes]

True but Vance could be president in 2029 if we're not careful

[daysleftofsecondterm]

Does any part of you really think their couchfucking boyfriend has the same kind of rizz they do to keep the entire cult together?

[jaydove-writes]

We also still have non-presidential elections this year.

[daysleftofsecondterm]

Indeed. And rather historically, they don’t do well in those.

[cleoselene-deactivated20260315]

I vote by mail every time but don't mail it back, just drop it off at a designated location. if you have the ability it's the most secure way

When the hurricane hit, the were SO many conspiracy theories floating around about it. That the hurricane was deliberately created via cloud seeding in order to kill off Christian republican voters and take the land. That the death toll was in the thousands and that the ~250 was a deliberate lie. That the entire population of towns were dead and missing. That the mainstream media was covering it up. You had disaster influencers on TikTok fundraising for basic necessities claiming that thousands were dead and dying of cold and the like. (Pocketing the funds of course).

They created this weird mass hysteria about a natural disaster being created to attack republicans and… republicans left them out in the cold.

(Obligatory ‘no one deserves this based on who they voted for & also the margin was pretty thin.) These rural communities are overwhelmingly republican, with urban NC being where most of those dem votes are… and still the republicans can’t even pretend to care about their core constituents. Unfortunately, we’ve seen time and time again that no matter how hard rural America gets fucked by republicans, they see it as ‘the government’, while anything that benefits anyone but them is a crime by ‘the liberals’… and even the things they do benefit from are a crime by ‘the liberals’.

Regardless of who is actually responsible for what, the GOP is credited with any positive changes, the dems are raked over the coals for anything that’s less-than-perfect, and anything that is undeniably a republican decision is simply The Government (with no expectation of accountability).

Oh my. I've been waiting for this to happen for almost fifteen years.

Not the "(((they))) are controlling the weather to wipe out Christian Republicans" and all of the other conspiracy shit, no. What I've been waiting for is the storm that would wipe out coastal homes in North Carolina, and I've been waiting since 2012.

Why 2012?

Because in 2012, the North Carolina General Assembly passed Replacement House Bill 819, which, being blunt and sarcastic, tried to outlaw sea level rise.

More technically, in order to keep the high valuation of beachside developments and properties from crashing due to the accurate fact-based assessment that they'd be worthless in a few decades due to climate change, as "beachfront property" is worth a lot, but "underwater property" is not...

Well, to keep those properties and investments from having to face that reality of their future residents being shellfish and tidal pools, the General Assembly made it illegal to use science-based models to predict how high sea level change would go over the next century. Instead, they mandated that a simple linear increase based on historical data would be used--saying that the sea level would change by only 8 inches (20 cm) by 2100... instead of the 3 feet (1 meter) that climate science was predicting. That way, all of those pricy developments on the Outer Banks and beachfronts would maintain their high assessed worth... at least until the sea and storms showed up and said to the General Assembly, "What, are you going to arrest the ocean?"

Which has now happened.

And, just as predicted back in 2012, the insurance companies are taking one look at this and going, "Nuh uh".

As that article I linked up above notes at the close...

In short, HB819 proposes a number of potentially far-reaching changes that may result in unintended consequences for coastal property owners, local governments, insurers, emergency managers and other organizations and agencies.

And now those consequences are here.

It's rough on some people how inconvenient facts can get. Good thing they have that very strong bubble to keep these pesky truths out of their daily lives.

Somehow it's too complicated for people to understand that it's also regular russians who are killing Ukrainians.

Even people who never made it to 6th grade science class and today after 30 years of propaganda piped into their homes deny climate change and vaccine efficacy should be able to get this, no?

The hate on their faces makes me want to puke. And these people probably call themselves Christians. It really makes you wonder why SO many Americans are filled with such hate?

Maybe this casting will be placed in the sculpture garden where they have Jesus embracing all of the American school age kids killed by guns?

Maybe this casting will be placed in the sculpture garden where they have Jesus embracing all women whose lives were saved by safe, legal abortion?

Maybe this casting will be placed in the sculpture garden where they have Jesus embracing all the people in countries far and wide saved by American grown, donated, and shipped grain?

Maybe this casting will be placed in the sculpture garden where they have Jesus embracing all of the tired, poor immigrants who risked life and everything they own of any value to make it to the promised land whether that was after 40 years wandering in the desert or 40 days walking in the North American continent?

Maybe this casting will be placed in the sculpture garden where they have Jesus embracing all of the people of color killed by authorities or mobs without due process and protection of the law?
