Today has dealt heavy blows with this BS ruling about Jacob Blake and the awful political theater in PA.
Things will likely get worse tonight/tomorrow with protests in our streets and in our government spaces.
Please regulate your exposure to the news and the ensuing opinions.
Stay grounded in the things/people/activity that matter to you and comfort you.
Take small actions that feel effective & helpful--however you can.
Breathe. Be kind to yourself.

Ida just hung up on his nasty ass

The Google Machine now reports 350,000 Americans are dead of COVID-19, that's approximately a city the size of Honolulu, HI wiped off the map. It's accelerating due to Christmas travel. Please do the following to keep yourself and others safe until we have a sane President, and sufficient vaccine.
Stay isolated.
Stay socially distant.
Wear a mask.
Wash your hands.
Don't be a casualty.
