Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man. Elon is dumb man's idea of a smart man. Hegseth is a cowards idea of a brave man. RFKJr is a brain worm's idea of a healthy man. And right now, the USA is an evil man's idea of a just country.

Why, oh, why can I only write my best stuff when I am otherwise occupied and have no hands free to jot down my thoughts? "Oh, I'll remember later," my brain mutters to myself, though my self knows this is rubbish.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

I am clinging to this fragile peace that I am feeling right now. I block the thoughts of tomorrow, knowing that they will only bring anxiety and sleeplessness. I will allow myself this contentment for however long it can last.

one day when a child asks me how my country fell I will tell them with scraped knees, elbows bruised with mournful screaming, hearts ablaze and alongside white men who feared most the power of a strong intelligent woman.

I just realized that since cutting the toxic narcissist out of my life, I have not had one incidence of shortness of breath or racing heart. I feel free again.

I'm finally realizing that the pooping habits of my dog are not the adorable, enthralling subjects of conversation that I think they are. 😆

A diagnosis of mental illness is not an excuse for bad or hurtful behavior, nor is it a reason for one to expect the world to bend to one's needs. It is a way to empower oneself and have some agency in making one's life better.

I am a little weary of the judgemental mental health gate keepers who disparage those of us who have had to learn to manage our mental health on our own. I am proud of my strength and independence.

Here is my level of anxiety in these times: We upgraded our cell phones to avoid any outrageous costs after the tariffs hit. Usually, I will immediately factory reset the old phones and package them up to return for rebate. This time? I waited until this morning...Just in case😒

I have been on anastrozole since finishing radiation treatment almost 3 years ago. I think it has given me tinnitus. So, I have decided that the ringing in my ears is a force running through my being that wards off any cancer from coming back. Hey, I've got to do something to make it tolerable.🤷‍♀️

I'm sure I'm not the only one reading to escape reality for a bit. I've returned to my standbys of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Join me there?
