Apoplectia.

New word, a communal state of apoplectic emotion.

Huh. Haven’t heard from a single person who was asking me for money yesterday.

Song for the afternoon….

“Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy…
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear…”

Bee Gees - Tragedy

When in the maw, avoid the teeth but be wary the tongue. Both are used to swallow you whole.

Can’t get this coffee hot enough to soothe the soul today. It’s ice in there.

The tone is that this is normal. Legitimate. They are not behaving as though they questing this. They are complementary and retroactively feigning positivity.

Please note the change in tone of journalism today.

We have chores to do, a business to manage, and smols to educate.

There’s no room for failure. Stay healthy. Stay effective. Learn and teach.

These things are pivotal, and as destabilizing as all this is and will be, we have to develop gyroscopic balance.

There’s no room for falling, there’s no room to land.

PSA: it’s okay to cry.

Same, man. Same.

Keeping myself in check like:

My reaction to election information in real time.

I will rely on humor in dark times when reason gets me no where. Keeps the heart beating and the breath breathing.

Apropos of nothing…

Statistics show that we should all know and love someone who is of a deeply marginalized community, if you are not actively marginalized yourself.

So everyone here is either going through this reality actively in a way that is truly horrific and definitive to their lives or loves someone who is living it.

That’s a lot for a community to be expected to handle.

If we can’t be civil in one of the last open bastions of public discourse we are absolutely fucked.

Go Team “I may vomit today” ! 🤢

So I popped a filling and also now my eye is twitching in a new place.

Huzzah.

Please think about what you are going to post and who will see it and what they may be going through today. For like, two seconds before posting.

You could quite literally save someone’s sanity.

It will help you too.

Rage, absolutely rage, rage is called for but maybe don’t attack each other with said rage.

We have other work to do than tending to wounds we inflict upon each other.
