My favorite quote these days: “Many people see change as violence against the status quo, and they react to change as if it is violence against them.”

Had a shouting argument with a work colleague today. We were both right, as it turns out. Makes it awkward, but allows for reconciliation. See folks, that’s how it’s done.

Watching the SNL 50th and marveling that they led with Lawrence Welk and Robert Goulet. Guess they figure a lot of people my age are watching. 😂😂

I had a day today, where everyone I asked for help -for a variety of things- was kind, responsive, and helpful. The IT Dept at work, the State of MD comptroller’s office, the vet, and the other vet (eye dr). It made my day so much better- I really needed that. Gives me hope.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Looking for my next fantasy novel. If I don’t have a way to consistently get out of my own head, I’ll be insane by the end of April.

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

The only surprising part of this is that the Afrikaners said, “uh no thanks, we’re good.” www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

Why are they so intent in destroying people’s lives? I’d rather not be, than submit. On the other hand, when you have nothing left, there’s nothing you can’t do.

So, if you made it through the day without anyone sending you a picture of a corpse, you have one up on me.

Man. Today was quite a thing in research land. And my office had to carry on trying to get compliance things taken care of like everything is normal and it’s not the 105th day of January. *sigh*

It’s gotten ugly super fast. It’s not clear that we can count on *anything* from the courts.

If you’re in the US and you need a distraction,… and you don’t mind a bit of sexysexy in your fantasy books, pick up The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros (4th Wing, etc). A new one just came out. 😉

I accidentally gave away my husband’s shoes to the good will. It’s his birthday, so that’s nice. 🤦‍♀️

THIS IS ALL DESIGNED TO MAKE US AFRAID. Remember: “Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.” Do not isolate- be present, bear witness. If you have privilege, use it. Intercede, say the quiet thing out loud. Punch back. We can do this- Right where we are.
