In practice what usually happens is I settle into one or the other. But it's nice not stressing about which one it'll be

I have found it very helpful to read while I write. It reduces the pressure on and stress from both activities.

Man the main thing about trying to overthrow the establishment is they have resources they will use to fight back
I often want the rebels to win but their apparent belief that it's illegitimate to organize politically to resist them is insane. Organize politically to beat the other team!

When it happened I was posting about enjoying THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MARQUISE OF LORIA in a plant-themed bar and now I am drinking gnome-themed beer in the covered patio of a bakery
Feels insane having a mostly nice life during all this but I've decided that it's gonna be my strategy

Yeah Trump was out there saying a bunch of very different stuff from the magic words to everyone who would listen and he won anyway
There are logical contortions established for explaining that too, and it certainly shocked me, but at some point we have to accept Mommy may not be able to save us

This isn't to say they shouldn't do the thing you want them to, but this thing where because they didn't let your dumb ass run the campaign they were obviously planning to lose from the start is so crazy-making. Maybe you're not in power because getting power is hard, especially for dorks like us.

People believe that if dems do One Weird Thing they will obviously win. If Dems do the thing and lose it becomes necessary to believe they didn't, which then becomes proof that they don't want to win, because why else wouldn't they press the Win Button. But what if there isn't a win button.

So far I am still in the first chapter, so nothing new as of yet from when that came out. Slowly chipping away late at night. Fun so far. Someday I will see something new
