@tippitiwichet It was indeed an adventure, from US to VZ and back months later.
I followed a passion. It didn't work out in the moment, but OMG on the rebound. Maybe that's what the tarot reading was telling me, and I wasn't paying attention.
@tippitiwichet Last time I had a tarot reading, it didn't work out so well. I ended up leaving Venezuela on my own.
You can extrapolate everything in between.
I remember the news conference outside of the Capitol Building in the hours following the attack. 7:15 PM.
Leaders from both political parties were in solidarity. Dennis Hastert (R) (then Speaker of the House before he pedo'd out). Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D). Harry Reid (R). Others.
And then...and then...it all went away. Because solidarity and unity of purpose is not profitable.
It's seven days until Roevember 5th.
A few months after 9/11, I was walking down 7th Ave near Washington Square and NYU in the West Village. I came upon a chain link fence that had hundreds of tiles wired to it, created by NYC school kids honoring first responders and those who died in the attack. I read most of them.
George W. Bush took an event that united the entire nation, grabbed a sledge hammer, and drove a wedge between us that exists to this day. (more)
It all went away. Because solidarity and unity of purpose is not profitable.

This isn't going to be over on November 5th, 2024. Or 6th. Or 7th. But by November 5th, 2025, perhaps the healing will have commenced, in at least some small measure.
@ecksmc Hello, Kitty!
(Very cool, by the way. I would drink that at 7AM after swirling everything together.)
@countZZero They're all leaving us.
