"What am I, an a**hole?" and other Mom'isms"

This is throwing back to Mother's Day 2012, to the days when I used to occasionally do a video accompaniment to my blog entries, which I dubbed BLOGCASTS. This was in honor of my mom. I figure it's perfect for Women's History Month. It's called "What am I, an a**hole?" and other Mom'isms." It's about some expressions, in particular one expression, that my mom, all of seventeen when she had me, used to say. She is quite eloquent, and quotable--my friends all say "What am I, an a**hole?" to this day!

The Revolution Will Be Digitized (Because F**k This Guy).

A certain entry in my blog from 2017 is rising in the rankings, I wonder why (I don't wonder, that's sarcasm). I remember this. The first Women's March. It's titled "The Revolution Will Be Digitized (Because F**k This Guy)."

Gen X: The Era of the "Latchkey Kid"

By today's standards, childcare in the 70s and 80s would have gotten our parents arrested. I watch a lot of "body cam" police videos on YouTube (shut up it's fascinating) and I've seen a fair number of parents put in handcuffs for child abandonment. This one woman went to visit another apartment in the same apartment complex while her 13 year old was in charge of the 9 year old. They were both asleep. Ummmm...yeah. (Read More On Blog)

The 2026 Winter Olympics Mark The 12th Anniversary Of My Psychotic Break (2014)

This is from Friday.

Well. The Olympics are on TV again. It's Day One. That means it's the 14th anniversary of my wholly unexpected, life-altering and remarkably inconvenient psychotic break.

That fraught, violent week-long episode opened a chapter in my life that is still playing out in many ways. At the time I wrote in an essay called Behind Three Doors (Read more on blog):

My Mom is a Fantastic Artist: Meet JoAnna Lombardi

Hey guys! I've been on Friendica for less than two hours. Even so, I'd like to post about my mom. My mom has a new website to promote her oil and watercolor paintings. I love her work! She is so talented. JoAnna Lombardi is her name. She should be participating in a show soon, probably NYC.

This link goes to my blog, where I wrote more about my mom, and which includes her site link.

The Stevie Wonder watercolor is in a private collection. In my personal collection I have Boy George, Billie Holiday, Velma Middleton, and a few more of non-famous people.
