It's making my Day to wake up to you asking these Qs. Citizens United is a 2010 SCOTUS decision that allowed corporations to donate unlimited $$$ to politicians & political parties. $ in politics was bad before, but after? Plutocracy (govt by/for the rich)+ kleptocracy (rule by thieves).

I'm a feeler too. The struggle is real. Maybe you could read some fantasy stuff. The cognitive distance from reality in this genre really helps me. Here are some fantasy books to check out when or if you feel up to it.😁❤️

I'm telling you. . . In this age of AI, the human element - voice, authenticity - is everything!

Agreed! If one perpetually shapeshifts for a variety of gazes - male, white,etc., eventually, one may look in the mirror and not recognize the reflection. The struggle is real though,especially in this climate. That makes voices like yours so inspirational and important. Imma keep trying 😁

Good luck! Let me know how it goes. During a class, I had students write, in one sentence, the implied main idea of several pictures, and I asked them to include the creator's name in the sentence - citation practice. (Ian Smith's image conveys . . . )They left class and used AI - tech dependence.😭

A little snow is more soothing than rain Post-Helene. Hopefully, I get to see a bit off Lester HWY 😁.

I hear you. Hope - as in the possibility of change. The possibility of something better that has yet to be defined.
