In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In Which we say hello to the month of the Blog's Birthday!

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend, to another day at the divagation store. How are you today? It is the beginning of another June, and with it, the blog’s birthday season!! What do I plan to do to celebrate the occasion? I personally have little clue, maybe will rework on an older story, for example, though at the moment I cannot say for sure. I am still in awe that we reached this point in our history, 5 years! Maybe even more to come! Anyway… besides that, for June, I’d love to keep reading the biography of Lady Thatcher, I am not too far from its ending, it has been a transformative experience to read about such formidable woman, and I am very happy I did commit to it, in the beginning of 2023. I am at some more dense chapters in the book, that will also focus on foreign policy and the chaos of her last year as prime minister, when the cold war was done. For many, this was the end of all mankind’s issues. That was proven to be false, as communism would return soon enough under different a different cloak. And with such evil frame, the devil would continue to sow chaos and reap hurricanes all over. She, Lady Thatcher, did her part (more than just “did her part”) in trying to stop the evil forces of socialism, but in the end they were not entirely defeated, much to our menace. I hope I can keep on drawing and writing, and I hope it rains so I can listen to its beautiful sound while I nap. Wonderful drop in temperature, it has been amazing to see the winds become cooler, more endurable. I also hope I can be less sad in June. May, and even April, were not good. I struggled so much with so many things. I’d love to be able to survive this June in a better state of affairs. It is Corn Season, also! That time of year in which we put rustic straw hats and flannel shirts and celebrate St. John by a fireplace. I am not sure if I’ll have any this year, because my grandma is tired of them… I am happy it is almost officially winter, and am happy that the end of may, awful as it was, did bring some better weather, less scorching than the other months of this year. We approach the days where we can safely wear our cozy sweaters without suffering with sweating. Time to take our chance in dressing better.


I hope my friendships may keep on going this month, and thriving, also. Will do whatever is in my power to be the best friend I can be, as I always try to do. I hope I can keep on playing games, maybe a bit more of Anno is in order… I have been thinking about returning to The Sims, but you know how much that game is detested by me at some points. Later today, I will begin this month by going to my psychiatrist, where I can talk to him about the deep sorrows of June, and hopefully we will see how to approach it the best way. Of course, my dad always complains about the cost of the sessions, and I hate asking for money, but well… my dad is a brute, what else is there to say? 
I think we are done with today’s post! I am happy I wrote on it. Hopefully will return again as soon as possible to write some more thoughts and plans. Cheers to you, dear reader, thank you for being here once again…
