Watching the World Burn

Posted on 08/29/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, well, the Amazon, anyway. And if Dear Leader has his way, likely the wilds of Alaska soon, too. And now, as I type this, he’s apparently considering “changing the rules,” such that the children of U.S. Servicemembers born overseas … Continue reading →

Recovery Mode

Posted on 08/15/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Thanks, everyone, for your concern regarding my finger. I went through a full antibiotics regime, and the infection has been gone ever since. Now it’s just a question of letting the cells repair themselves, and getting the swelling to go … Continue reading →

Or Better Yet, Try to Fix It

Posted on 07/18/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

We’re back! I hope everyone had a pleasant Independence Day, despite the shenanigans going on in the Capitol. Speaking of such, how about the mess Dear Leader has gotten himself into over this last week? Despite anything his apologists might … Continue reading →

Learned it in Kindergarten

Posted on 03/14/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

As I started to talk about last time, I’d like to explore the idea of what, when, and how much to share with others. I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all “right” answer to the question; at the end of the … Continue reading →

A Few Realities

Posted on 02/14/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

No, I’m not talking about the dichotomy between the world most rational people live in, and the one inhabited by the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  (Although those are certainly two vastly different realities.) What I’m referring to would … Continue reading →

Quick Thoughts

Posted on 09/28/2017 by leftwingsurvivalist

Just a few random mental meanderings this time around, dear readers. So, the president is still at it.  He’s had a pretty rough week of it, though–he still can’t get the ACA repealed (yay, us!); he’s having a “Bush-Katrina” moment, … Continue reading →

Stockpiles

Posted on 09/14/2017 by leftwingsurvivalist

This time around, I’ll (finally!) get to a list that I found a while back, wandering about the Pinterest intertubes. It claims to be from a website called betterhomestead.com, but I haven’t verified that. Its contents are a “Master List … Continue reading →

Into Every Life…

Posted on 08/31/2017 by leftwingsurvivalist

My plan for this week was to go through a list found in my extensive browsing of the internet.  The list topic? “Master List of Items to Stockpile for the Apocalypse.” I’ll get to the list (maybe next time), but … Continue reading →

A Little Light

Posted on 06/02/2016 by leftwingsurvivalist

Reading, that is.  I recently picked up the book 52 Prepper Projects: A Project a Week to Help You Prepare for the Unpredictable, by David Nash.  I’m not exactly reading it cover-to-cover, but glancing at it from time to time, … Continue reading →

A Loss of Knowledge?

Posted on 04/21/2016 by leftwingsurvivalist

I’ve been somewhat scatter-brained this week, so this may seem a bit disjointed. (…a bit more disjointed than normal?)  I read something in the newspaper that got me thinking, though.  It’s a similar notion to one I’ve read about, thought … Continue reading →
