Go slow and don’t feel pressured to stay. Come and go as you please.

I don’t think we are a United States anymore with this decision. There is dark money, conservatives and religious zealots attempting to control a woman’s right to safe health care. I’ve known so many wonderful women, who were put in the terrible position of having to choose themselves over giving birth. For a host of reasons. We aren’t a United States. I used to be hopeful. I’m not. I’m not anymore.

We are a broken country. We encourage violence. What else did we think we’d reap from it.

What does it even matter anymore. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/buffalo-supermarket-mass-shooting/index.html

Been thinking a lot about when Samwise says “or I’ll have you Longshanks” it means that LOTR existed in our realm after Edward the First of England.

Me, only now realizing that Genesis’ “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight” is about meeting up with a cocaine dealer and my boyfriend laughing at me thinking it was about buying a prostitute. 😂

The movie Everything, Everywhere All at Once is an emotional voyage of humanity, relationships and existence and I encourage everyone to see it. https://youtu.be/wxN1T1uxQ2g

No right to get this.

Discussion: Student Debt
I don’t have a problem paying my student debt currently but I understand it’s a burden. What do ppl think of targeted income debt reduction instead? Like if your income is 75k or below you can have your debt lowered by an amount. Thoughts?

Being off Twitter for a few days now, some observations:
1. Less time on phone, more focused on the world.
2. Actively looking for reputable news sources rather than going through posts.
3. Less. Angry. This might be the most noticeable thing for me.

I hope others start to notice this as well. I’m freeing some time up for the things that matter and more one on one.
