The Unwelsh
Honestly, if you’re offended at Michelle Wolf’s remarks and not “waves hands wildly and points everywhere* then what’s the matter with you? You elect a president who is the most crass, horrible person running on actual bullying namecalling and you’re offended at a comedian at a roast? Someone has to take the bullet when the actual president doesn’t have the guts to face mocking.
Have you seen the shit Huckabee’s dad tweets? And he’s a governor, not a comedian. Cry me a river. It was okay making fun of Spicer because he was a dude? Was it ok mocking a disabled reporter? Don’t worry so much about appearances when you’re ugly on the inside.

Good goat times today. Fairly grey and slightly cold morning. The sparkling spring has gone away, but at least it’s not freezing. Got the goats out grazing and browsing. Spent some time at the treeline next to the pen. Everyone enjoyed that. Including the kindergarteners beyond the fence who got to watch. One of the boys was a little frustrated that the goats didn’t want to eat the stick he was trying to give them. They were too focused on all the greenery on the branches all around them. And then we went back to the pen for some relaxing. As the weather got colder and the clouds got darker. I almost made it home before the rain and thunder started. Almost. (Said to the tune of Aliens they mostly come at night).

Just a quick thank you note to everyone who offered support and encouragement about the whole meds and moods thing. Thank you all. I feel like I’m getting worse and worse at Facebookfriendshipping, because of lack of time and energy and surplus of backlogs from the downtime and general frustration and also the fact that you humans puzzle me, as will be detailed in my next report to my Vogon overlords. I am afraid I shall have to request reinforcements if I am to make any headway into this whole “figuring out the humans” mission. Anyway, I appreciate those of you who make the effort and stick with me and all that. I hope the goat posts make up for the lack of human behaviour a little, and if you don’t like goats then… well, I’m sorry. Tomorrow is May, and you know what that means. It means you have to stop saying “I can’t believe it’s still April” as noted in section C, paragraph 8 of my last report. ALL HAIL VOGON. May the vogsphere bless us with the swift defeat of those who would oppose us. I may not understand this love thing you came up with to excuse the most silly of your behaviour, but I love you and I mean that from the bottom of the artificial heart that they installed in the used Vogon car that was modelled to resemble a human being. END TRANSMISSION.

Is anyone else getting checkboxes asking if there’s hate speech in my or Mia’s posts? I mean, I don’t really care if people think my political posts are over the line, you can unfriend me if you don’t like what I’m saying. I try to keep that stuff to a minimum, but sometimes I need to let off the steam. But I’m upset if Mia’s page gets dragged into that, there’s no hate on there. Only love and sunshine, mother#¤&Ws. Weird.
Just be aware, apparently if you’re flagging my posts you are also hurting Mia’s page. GUILT TRIP GUILT TRIP GUILT TRIP.

A thousandful thank yous to Keiko Murakami! What a wonderful present. A beautiful book of her art. This video is just a quick flipthrough, it doesn’t come close to doing it all justice. Go to Meowkami and look at all the stuff there. Thank you, Keiko. Dropped some tears and even more smiles looking through it. There are some of them that still touch my heart in that heartbreaking yet happy way. Like a dagger made of love. Or something. I shall treasure it always. So many memories. Thank you for capturing them perfectly. You’re amazing, Keiko!

Here’s some goatlog. I’m feeling a bit better. I’ll be just fine. Still, if you want to drop me off some ice cream just leave it outside the door and knock 3 times and run away, thanks. You’d be surprised how many delivery services don’t respect those kinds of requests.

Logged into my hotmail, because I’m so hot. Got this message about their new terms and services:
“These updates, which are summarized below, will take effect on May 1, 2018. If you continue to use our products or services on or after May 1, 2018, you are agreeing to the updated terms of the Microsoft Services Agreement”
It’s May 4th. I use hotmail every day. On May 4th they tell me that if I keep using their service after May 1st I’m agreeing to their new TOS. If that doesn’t sum up the world then I don’t know. It’s a good thing I’m too tired to get agitated. Mind you, I haven’t checked the twitter yet.

Also, happy Star Wars day to everyone who likes Star Wars and therefore is on the right side of history.
Although I do question how much Star Wars needs a day now that there’s a new movie every 3 months. I’m a little burnt out on the fandom, but Star Wars will always be one of those big, fictional worlds that I could escape into when the real world was too real. And even if it all gets watered down with every new blockbuster and CGI kids show, I will still have those old Han and Lando book trilogies and the old pencil case with scenes from the rebel hangar and all that. The comic book on my first solo train ride. Dad translating Luke Skywalker’s name as we read through the Galaxy Guide book I had imported. Star Wars is an essential part of my history.

I think this is still my favourite of all of Keiko’s drawings. Still gives me a teary eyed smile. Still got that pain in my heart when I let myself think of the likes of Kamel and Palle, and so on. I wish I could trade a few years off my life for some extra years for them.

I didn’t listen to Donnie’s talk to the NRA, but I caught some snippets on the news. I just want to say, yes it’s possible that if France had less strict gun laws that terrorist attack might have been stopped. It’s also possible if France had less strict gun laws that their kids would be constantly slaughtered in the school yards, who knows? The idea that one of those fat old nra whites with a gun would have stopped the attack? Yeah, you’re all superheroes with your guns. You’re Lucky Lucky, you’re Clint Eastwood, you’re John Wayne. You’d single-handedly shoot down a mob of muslim terrorists. If only we had more of your kind we wouldn’t need border walls. Sheesh. The idea that an attack would be stopped just by the chance of someone inside having a gun is so stupid. I have heard the same thing about school shootings. They wouldn’t go shooting up a school if they knew someone was inside with a gun? Most of these attacks are designed to end up with the perpetrator dead. The terrorists count on it, it’s part of the narrative. Suicide attack, you know? And kids who shoot up schools, I’m pretty sure many of them are counting on not surviving either. The Columbine kids offing themselves when they’d done what they set out to do. Knowing there’s a teacher with a gun inside isn’t going to stop a fucked up kid or an insane terrorist. And then there are the good guys with guns killed by police, the good guys without guns stopping attacks.
I get that you don’t want your guns taken away, but the NRA is cancer. I guess you have to be a member if you’re pro-gun, just like you have to vote for Trump if you’re against abortion. I just really hope you realise that NRA is damaging the world and Trump is everything that’s wrong with fat old white rich people. I’m not rich or that old, but I am fat and white so I can say that. And I’m not saying that white, old, fat, rich men are the only ones doing wrong on the world, but you can’t close your eyes to how much shit they’re causing.
Also, sad to hear about Junot Diaz. Very. I have some thoughts on that shirtshow too, but I think this is enough bile for now. Please remember if you flag this as hate speech you are hurting Mia’s page GUILT TRIP GUILT TRIP GUILT TRIP

Brb, working on the scripts for my upcoming 7 film saga about Snow White and the dwarves. Every dwarf gets a movie with a gritty, dystopian backstory. And then in the last one Snow White kills them all with the infinity gauntlet. Or something like that, i haven’t gotten that far yet.

Finally caught up with The Walking Dead. It’s been a trying season. I feel like the show has a bunch of brilliant characters, but aren’t using them very well. Too many communities and people I can’t tell apart and timelines overlapping and grim stuff happening. I don’t mind the grim things, but it just all blends into one for me a lot of the time. My wish for the next season would be to zoom in on the core cast and bring a little more fun and adventure and mystery to it. The whole war against other humans, not digging it so much. I want more Jesus, and the King (and his second in command guy person), and Carol, and Daryl, Morgan if he’s not complete nuts I don’t even know. Jadis. There was one of the saviours who got caught and turned and seemed interesting. I forget his name, but his face stood out which is something I really appreciate with my face blindness. I miss being able to watch tv and recognising faces. And my memory too. I don’t know if it’s just bad memory or if the blindness pays into it too, but there are storylines they bring up and I go “I have no recollection of any of this, who even are these people?”. Ah well. Nothing will ever be as good as the Lost days. That was my prime TV experience. But I still hope TWD steps up and lives up to its potential.
Can you tell I’m back on the meds? I’m writing lots of stupid junk, you must all be so happy!

What a beautiful book from Keiko! I got a little teary-eyed looking at the pictures. She certainly captured the sweet essence and character of all your goat friends and of you, too. What a lovely gift from such a talented friend.

Keiko makes amazing art. Helped me through some hard times with some of her wonderful drawings. Glad I got to know her through the goats
