This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

I have been given 4 eagle feathers in my years working with the Cree people. It is a sacred trust. I rarely bring them out. But in facing down Trump we need to invoke our inner warrior spirit. I hold the feather aloft as a sign of respect and determination. We will not break. Not now. Not ever.

As witch, I walk the river to fill my garnering bag with tomorrow's tinctures, to scry around the corners of fate that ripple on its surface. Most of all, I tread the banks as fluid conversation. The spirits of the land flow towards me, I listen and I learn. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

The true believers have long put up with the opportunists in the belief that the noise would settle out and the “true” value of the system would emerge. It’s really starting to dawn on them that having the traditional economic/regulatory system become a complete grift too breaks the whole thing.

You know, I think two things can be bad -- banning one particular evil social media site on the back of sinophobic propaganda pushed by its equally-evil competitors, and the incoming President announcing that the rule of law doesn't matter because the evil site's owners sucked up to him.

See... They thought Greenland actually meant Green until Trump Jr. went over and found it to be covered in ice. Good things they brought so many MAGA hats to help warm and feed the people they bribed to pretend to be MAGA supporters.

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.
