an extremely necessary mental health break
but also some stuff about Donny Dumbfuck
friends,
yesterday marked five months since the passing of my wife Claudia.
continuing to write these daily posts has been for me an essential part of my grieving process. but every now and then, the profound sadness of it all becomes just too overwhelming — and so today I must give myself another day off.
I still feel adrift and unmoored, and I still miss Claudia so much.
let me once again take a moment to say thank you to the thousands of people who have posted, commented, private messaged, texted, and phoned to offer condolences. I love you all. I am blessed to be surrounded by an amazing, caring community.
thank you for hanging in there with me. see you tomorrow.
but wait, before I take off — this wouldn’t be a real post unless it had some serious Donnyloathing in it, so let me do a quick hit on the dumbfuckery that went down yesterday.
from dawn til way past dusk on Saturday, Lord Shitticus was basically screaming LOOK HOW MENTALLY ILL I AM into his crappy app.
imagine having virtually unlimited power and wealth, and choosing to spend your entire Saturday hunched over your phone, pissing and moaning about shit that isn’t real.
what a fucking loser.
holy shit, Lindsey Graham!
oh, is it time for some Daily Claudia? well okay, then.
here’s a triptych from the Dobbs Ferry restaurant Half Moon on July 25, 2025.
that’s it for today, I’m outta here. thanks again for hanging in there with me. I promise you that I am taking my own advice: practicing self-care and doing everything I need to do to keep sane. have a great Sunday, everyone. see you tomorrow.
here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
let me once more repeat my comment from previous days off, "by the way, I am very aware of how lucky and privileged I am. most people do not have a hundred thousand or more people who care about them. that has to make a difference in the grieving process. so, once again, thank you. I love you all"
we promise to behave while we chat about Lindsey's surprise dirt nap & speculate on what the third thing will be.
