Finally, all those pennies I collected as a child will be worth something!

Treasury Department set to phase out the penny

The Treasury Department said it placed its final order for penny blanks this month as the U.S. moves to end production of the 1-cent coin.

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about a golden rule?

Never mind the rules just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin

Skip a rope--skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny What the children say?

I have been fighting with #bookwyrm as a solution to recording my #reading and #book data. It is a little #disappointing. I want to use it, but for me (mass importing of data) it is too time consuming going through hundreds of entries that are either "slightly" different from what currently exists on the service, or is not on any instance networked and therefore throw up import errors.

Thing is, you look at what you've got and think: "That's correct data there, I've checked against multiple sources and all the names, authors and ISBNs are correct. Why can't I just push a button and import it all? I mean it's better than what is being suggested to me at present. Why is that <random book> appearing six times on my list against book I know are okay?"

A morning wasted. I don't need a solution, I have an alternative that isn't #goodreads or bookwyrm. But you try and support or use something and it's... It's like me having to recompile a Linux v2.2 kernel to get USB support around 2000-2001.

Yeah, I'm gonna be late for hashtag games again but HBO is celebrating #PeeWeeHerman these days and they're airing a theater stage version of Pee Wee's Playhouse from 2011. I'm taking time from that to mention something that was somewhat prescient in the segment "Pen Pals from Around the World".

He read a postcard from Israel. Schlomo said he was 9 years old and he has already served 2 years in the military. Good one, Pee Wee.

"We really do need to be honest"

" 'We really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job,' Vance told reporters" - While lying freely about whether the *current* president is capable of doing the job, of course!

J.D. Vance asking for honesty is like a man with no arms asking for a backrub. It will surely benefit him, but it's guaranteed he'll never respond in kind, whether he wants to or not...

Note to myself

No not the Prather #book..

It all worked out. The #anxiety turned into a solid plan that kept me on time on track and on course. I got what I needed. It didn't cost quite as much as I #feared. I still have #energy left and I wasn't #exhausted physically or #mentally (though I did have to stop and regroup a couple of times).

Small wins.

I had an insanely good #coffee, and hammered out about 4 pages worth of thoughts. BY HAND. Writing by hand is #liberating. If you keep your #writing "reasonably" neat you can OCR it into a digital document later. Well, I OCR it. Very useful.

Possibly my one and only post on P/politics

Speaking of #anxiety, #mentalhealth and so on.... I must profess to being in the minority when it comes to [the current year].

Or any year.

I've been disillusioned for the better part of the last 30 years. I do not want to "engage" with 'Big P' Politics, or 'small p' politics.

I'm struggling to get support and services for the injuries I suffered from a stroke. You know, typing and using your hands, not being perpetually exhausted, being able to see things in focus, not being over-stimulated by movement or sound (autistic readers are nodding sagely round about now...). It's taking up a lot of my mental time, energy and strength just surviving.

As a wise man once said, "I'm too old for this shit".

I may post some writing if I'm not feeling shy.
