That was a fun day. 💖

Part 3 of 3.

Part 2 of 3.

1 of 3. Switch out Covid for what’s happening now.

THIS JUST IN… Day 84 of the new administration. Russia and Ukraine still at war.

I would bet my life savings the current president doesn’t know the five elements of the First Amendment.

“Single Whip.“ Don’t let any of this rob you of your peace. You need it, and we need it for you. Music credit: Welcoming, by Michael Manning.

I take the damage to our country very seriously. But for comic relief, I still imagine a baboon with that hairstyle let loose in a chemistry lab, pulling apart experiments and tossing test tubes and beakers up in the air...all the while screeching incomprehensible stuff.

Antidote to fear and dread…

When we could afford to be smug about the idiocy, I'd just roll my eyes. But like every other major change, we kinda, sorta see it coming from a distance. Then when the next mass casualty event is on top of us, we don't get to act surprised. Fix this. Before we die of incompetence.

If the moral high ground reasons for not hating aren't enough... The energy of dissatisfaction is the FUEL. But the clear-eyed understanding of the mission brings you the STRATEGY. Put another way...use your opponent's aggression against them. Not the other way around.

Humans have been around for approximately 300,000 years. The United States has existed for just about 249 years. Less than 1/10th of 1% of human existence. Maybe we shouldn't take ourselves for granted quite so much.

Seeing a bunch of conservatives with integrity I used to chat with 9 or 10 years ago on different forums. Some are tying themselves up in knots trying to defend what happened to their party...and losing their integrity in the process. Do a George Conway already. Jump ship!

PLEEEEEASE... When MAGA people start jumping ship and criticizing the tariffs, resist the "I toldya so" instinct. We still need them to switch the momentum and electoral math. Now if any want to rewrite history, make it a Biden thing or otherwise gaslight, hit them with the kitchen sink.

Create healthy boundaries. Receive what’s yours.

I don't hate anyone. Even people who I believe are trying to subvert the foundational principles of our country. Hating them plays into their hands. They're better at it than I am, and better at weaponizing it. And it's just not how I plan to spend the life I've been gifted. How about you?

You’re welcome.

I'm just saying... Wikipedia has an entry for midlife crisis. It has no photos. Maybe this should be added.
