I found a Walmart bible my sister had given me a few years ago. I checked it for anything inside I might want to keep, and overnight, election night, it went in the trash bin. City trash picked it up the next day. I forgot about the thing until then, and my MAGA sister insisted "God" would take care of things on a text chain with the rest of the MAGAt relatives (which I typically avoid but stay there to give the appearance that I care)

I've never been religious because it had been crammed down my throat as a kid, and it's disgustingly sociopathic, misogynistic, and I just can't with that shit.

So anyway... I will enjoy time off work over the holiday to declutter and do yard work, but wtf would I celebrate and WHY?

I like the decorations and have been known to drag some of those out some years to make the house feel warmer and more festive but it's not about "spirit" or religion with me - it's just about a cozy atmosphere. But this is one of those years that I will not be bothering.

Not in the fucking mood.
