Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

Craaaaawliiing iiiiin myyyy skiiiiin
Someone restrain lynn from giving that little brat what she deserves
I CAN NOT STAND fake cristians
No True Scotsman?
It’s not about “real” and “fake” Christians.
The religion doesn’t change people. At most it might give someone an excuse. No, a person is open minded or closed minded, a person is good or bad, a person is hurting or not hurting. And they happen to be Christian or happen not to be Christian.
A lot of the cast of UnCONventional is Christian. It’s just how the demographics work out in this country. Heck, Megan herself is a Christian. But while there are many open minded people of the Christian faith in this country, there are a lot who aren’t.
You don’t get to call them “fake” Christians because you happen to disagree with them. Heck, that minimizes the problem. It makes it not the responsibility of everyone else using the label to deal with those voices. Pretending they aren’t part of the same group actually EXCUSES their behavior.
But hey, I get your sentiment and frustration.
Woah, things are getting intense now.
….yeah, this ain’t gonna end with sunshine and skittles…
I’m curious about the comments in the last two comics referencing ending this with physical violence. I’m in no way a pacifist but in what way would that improve the situation? Also generally that’s not how adults solve their problems.
People always want to see Lynn hit people, even in situations where there’s no way it would be in character for her to do it.
This is gonna be a really rough read this month. phewww.
But people say all sorts of horrible shit in the first day or two of mourning, but she’s still an ass right now.
When I came up with the concept for this storyline, I made myself cry.
So my goal in the writing is “Make everyone feel as bad as I did when I conceived this.”
