Tomorrow I am going to see a production by One, the Meeting Tree, and the next day to bury my fourth sibling this year, all the while under the constant on goings of the politics we are under. Worst is to drive knowing the road rage we are under is evident this is the worst of times and the best of times. However, only through honest observation, faith, strength and courage will we make the actual change for the better will happen. Divided we fall, and Project 2025 and Rump and Anal, the Oligarchs must simply be confronted.
The goal of the felon and others like him is to create their reality and watch everyone else try to adjust themselves to make it work. The felon and those others will never be satisfied or happy not matter how much people bow to them.
I stumbled on this when substack autoplayed it after a Marianne meditation vid - well done, you folks!! Fear is the aquarium my friends and family were raised in, with eternal joy as a potential future reward IF we remained in total accordance with the Mormon church and supportive of John Bircher extreme rightwing politics.
Anxious temperaments plus authoritarian control produced lovelessness in abundance, with marriage and parenthood being a) the only possible life destination, and b) a pressure-cooker of endless tasks and impossible expectations. What a relief to be reminded that we have free will, and can step outside the template that our well-meaning parents tried to hammer us into.
Nothing is simpler than reality, fact supports the truth, and there are too many that do not live in a world where caring for anyone beyond themselves truly matters. Ignorance is bliss!!! And the insane operate on an entire other, the Emperor is exposing himself, lie after lie, act after act and the rich are milking it!
Yes, it is bat shit crazy, the onslaught on all things since Rump is back in office. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein and the trail of blood…yes, we are becoming ill to keep up!
Yes, yes, yes. Hope and joy and love and community means self care and connection and fighting for the world we know we all deserve. You have to be healthy to stay in the fight. When my child was in crisis, the first thing I had to learn was to put myself first. Because I could not care for her if I was not ok. Put on your own mask first, and then put on your child's mask and then all of your neighbors who need help and then all of their neighbors. We are all connected and can only lend strength if we have it. We can only build a future if we can imagine it.
Abuse makes you rewrite reality for yourself as a coping mechanism, and when you move out of those circumstances and then back into them this type of coping resumes. It doesn’t matter if you are aware of how messed up things were, if you learned about it or got therapy. The brain defends regardless of what you have learned about the past or yourself. Time and distance are the only healers that truly sustain and defend one from further abuse. This is what makes being in the present bearable. Makes you appreciate how some of most horrible regimes to exist were so hard to fight.

Sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself!!!
A psychological war is happening on the American public, and it begins in many people’s homes…
The more I think about it, MAGA is a "Black Mirror" Willy Loman and Trump is the antithesis of the American Dream.

We are called consumers! That is what we are expected to do and the only way we are full filled is by buying shit.
Mike Flood town hall was a disaster - by the end the people were yelling "Vote Him OUT!"
