Day of the Once Without, 61st of Childwinter, 525 M.E. (Atlas): Wait, what? Where's the 60th day of Childwinter? Did I screw up and miss a day?

No, in my New Revised Universal Solar Calendar, the 60th day of Childwinter (Fifth Ocean) is recognized in leap years only. All other years, we go from The Unspoken Vows, the 59th day (Electra) , directly to Day of the Once Without, the 61st (Atlas), leaping right over Fifth Ocean, the 60th Day (Helios). Which begs the question - should "leap years" be every fourth year with 366 days, or the other years with 365 days where we leap past the 60th day?

The advantage of this practice is that in the New Revised Universal Solar Calendar, every year begin on an Atlas and ends on a Helios, so that all days in every year occur of the same day of the week.

But whatevers. I woke up this morning from some unpleasant anxiety dreams only to remember that, yes, yesterday was real, and the United States are actually the bad guys now, aligned with authoritarian regimes like Russia, North Korea, and Belarus. We're on the wrong side of history now. Not that we ever really were the bastion of freedom and democracy we liked to pretend we were, what with the CIA-led coups, third-world colonization, global corporatization, and all that. But yesterday, in a televised temper tantrum thrown in front of Ukraine's Zelensky, Russia's TASS, and the rest of the world, Mumps completed an arc that began with his campaign boast that he would let Putin do "whatever the hell he wanted" and continued with his secret meetings and conversations with Putin and the U.S. voting against a non-binding UN resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

We suck and we're the bad guys now.           

And by "we" I mean "you" - you, Mr. Trump, Mr. Musk, Messrs. Vance and Hegseth and Rubio, and all of you fuck-wit Republicans in Congress, and the entire Supreme Court (even the "good" ones), Proud Boys and Oathkeepers and white Christian nationalists, and each and every single citizen who voted for Trump. You're the bad guys now and we (y'all and I) are officially enemies now.

Fuck off and go straight to hell, y'all, and stay off this blog and yes, even you Russian AI bots scanning and scrapping this site every day.
