They have complete access to our digital information & communication, all of our private government information since birth, they control the media & are dismantling education. To close the loop they are going to take control of the last point of entry for soon-to-be illegal information, the mail.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The day after people across the United States took to the streets for No Kings Day, Trump signed an executive order consolidating executive power. He wants to seize direct control over independent agencies that were designed to operate outside of presidential influence to prevent authoritarian rule.

And I have had people telling me since the election that I should "sit back, be kind and karma will get them." Besides their absolute lack of education about what "karma" even means, I will not be around people who care so little for my life and the life of my child.

I accomplished something I set out to this year. For 10 years chronic pain has kept me from working & I have started making a contribution to the household again with my crochet. It's not much, but I am starting to feel like a real person again I mailed my first commissioned piece this morning.

I have spent the weeks since the "election" in deep meditation, self-education and planning additions I need to make to my mental health toolbox if I'm going to keep my shit together this time around. Rather than 20 small posts here, the full version is at FB www.facebook.com/share/p/PvGL...

Your Daily Affirmation: Today I am not even thinking about all the things there are to freak out about.A peaceful image of baby ducks expands into my mind's eye when anxiety starts to rise. Deep breaths and cute little quackers until everything is okay. OMG! not when I'm driving!

Your Daily Affirmation: Cake patrol. I'm not saying that everywhere I go today, including work, is part of a search for cake, but I'm keeping my eyes open. If I make it through the day without finding cake, if I persevere, my reward is cake. That's how it works

Normalize posting the messy sketches! Normalize sharing your least favorite pieces! Normalize creating art for vengeance by drawing your enemies in compromising positions with various farm equipment! Normalize group critiques!

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

I have to hold on to this mentality. I'm so tired of always being the good person and "taking the high road" only to get shit upon by people who care about nothing but themselves.

For the last two weeks I've been waking up and making a plan for how to get through the day without sinking back into the pit I was in four years ago. How many days in a row can I do this?

Nice place. I can make this work.
