“You wear that mask so much, I forgot what you look like.” Said the coworker who literally never has anything nice to say to anyone. “You need to start wearing your face, for real.”
“No thanks. I am good.”
Wow. Trump isn’t even mentioned in the article.
Political journalism is dead.

I walked to the dollar tree today to get some decorating supplies for my inpatient nursing unit (because I am that coworker.) On my way back there is a bookstore and a BMV (among other things.) Outside the BMV were about 4 militia-looking dudes in tactical gear and armed to the teeth. Isn’t the BMV a government agency where weapons are disallowed on the premises?
Also… wtf? It’s northeast Ohio.
Trying for some mindfulness this morning. But isn’t it interesting, that word, mindfulness?
My mind is already so full! Just full of things that are the opposite of that which would soothe. 😓
Feeling frustrated, the suffering and cynicism of the world is so incomprehensible. People’s lives matter. Everyone of them. We are all being politic-ed to death—throughout the world.
I need a break. Time to seek refuge in a sane world—my own. With music and flowers and our puppy and our family of course 💚

Elon Musk and his investors lost $24 billion since buying Twitter.
Billionaires can write off their investment losses on their taxes, but we can't write off student loan debt for the college degrees required to work at their companies.
This is what a rigged system looks like.
If you haven't yet ... rethink #NaNoWriMo ... "your work on their platform is almost certainly going to be used to train AI" ...
@Liliki me too. I’m going to do everything humanly possible to avoid needing that.
@gemswinc can’t do chiropractic. My cervical and thoracic spine cannot under any circumstances be adjusted. Too many full and partial fusions.
I got PT orders though. Misery heading my way.
@danielbsmith oh we absolutely got one with the safety net. I am a ball of anxiety and safety fanatic. I am feeling encouraged that it’s not too terrible to put together. Hubs and I are going to tackle it together on a school day before her birthday.
This morning my daughter came to me and asked if she could have a first aid kit and some mints in her school backpack.
So yeah. #Preparedness passed down.
@CarmenSlamdiego @Yarnchick yeaaaah, that checks out. 🤣
