Me: sitting at my keyboard and picking at the half of my Double Whopper I have left from Burger King while thinking about how to word and structure my coming updates here.
Inappropriate & invasive thought:
Here, let me insert myself into your thought process! Here's a highly inappropriate thought filled with the kind of content one should never openly talk about.
Me: Laughs at the more absurd aspect of said thought, even though it IS highly inappropriate.
Good afternoon to all on Mindly and the greater #Fediverse!
I haven't been very active here since October 1st of 2023. Life has changed a LOT since that time, and none of it has been good.
The forthcoming updates from me in separate posts or threads will talk about everything I've been through, and the impact on me so-far.
I'll be talking a lot about being a full-time caregiver for my now late wife, dying, death, grieving, grief recovery, and what life looks like here and now.

King wanted to expose the inconsistency of U.S. foreign policies when juxtaposed with the persisting domestic inequality in America. This address, often referred to as "The Riverside Church Speech," faced criticism from various quarters, including prominent media outlets like The New York Times and the Washington Post, as well as organizations like the NAACP, which objected to the Civil Rights Movement's involvement in anti-war protests.

In a variation of his āTransformed Nonconformistā sermon delivered in January 1966 at Ebenezer Baptist Church, King openly expressed his opposition to the Vietnam War, condemning American aggression as a violation of the 1954 Geneva Accord, which promised self-determination.

Please stop using low intelligence as an insult. It is ableist, whatever word you use for it. It's used as a justification for dismissing a person's point of view, as if having a low IQ means a person's perspective doesn't matter.
Call people out for their moral failings instead. That's fair game.
