Thank you
I'm OK. Just dealing with what's right in front of me.
I'll have noved before he takes office.

America is an old couch.
Trump is a black light.

I've seen several trans folks making posts and videos encouraging people to stay alive. Saying that alone is enough.

And it makes me wonder how many have already chosen otherwise.

Seeing similar sentiments among my disabled friends, who are hurt and angry because they know they'll lose medical support and it will shorten their lives.

To my view, I benefit from being surrounded by people who are safe, cared for, & set up to do their best. It makes *my* world better when everyone benefits.

My world is better when the people in it all read and are well-educated. When they have the energy and resources to innovate and research--and their contributions are taken seriously.

My world is better when fewer people are starving, homeless, disconnected from society. Crime goes down. It costs less money.

I'm selfish that way.

I mentioned on Tuesday that I'd bought a bottle of The Pathfinder NA spirit.

The Pathfinder is a hemp-based beverage, but it has all of the psychoactive agents stripped out. It will NOT get you high or even relaxed.

That said, it is an excellent, complex amaro. If you like bitter liqueurs, this will seriously hit the spot. I've been drinking it with a squeeze of lemon or grapefruit and club soda. Very refreshing.

Young men shifted *30 points* to the right from 2020. They've been courted heavily online.

Gen Z Men are NOT OKAY - and they helped get Trump ELECTED

Moira Donegan tells the story of the Jane Collective on You’re Wrong About. Something I found notable: most of the volunteers only did it for a little while, then passed the baton. You don’t have to devote your entire life to a cause to make a difference.

I know, because I was there.

Doesn't matter if he remains in office for only four more years--if he lives that long.

He'll tear a lot down, and further shift the Supreme Court to the right.

Even if the next election happens and is fair and a democrat is elected--it'll take a generation to begin to repair the damage.

And even when there is an outcome that aligns with our hopes--that may come well after our own lifetimes.

I am not trying to be a downer. Yet awareness is important.

Hope can be a hinderance.
Not always. But be aware.

“Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact your work will be apparently worthless and achieve no result at all, if not perhaps at times bring about its opposite. As you get used to this, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness and the truth of the work itself.”

Yes. I know many Canadians who are struggling because of the ASTRONOMIC cost of housing.

There are places I would consider moving, if able, but Canada's not one.

(Also, it's American arrogance to just assume we can move to a country of our choosing without knowing if we meet the requirements.)

@AI78

I dunno.
I only noticed because I'm renewing mine. I hoped to get the application done last week, but I need to get compliant photos taken. (Doing that tomorrow.)
And literally, from Monday to Wednesday, the processing times doubled.

@misslovelymess

Yeah. I fully expect him to do to the government what Musk did to Twitter. Just fire most people without even understanding what they do.
