The world is on fire. It enrages me at the same time it makes me feel powerless. So today I joined a group on another site that's all about finding those small moments of joy, or hope, or inspiration. Selfishly, I think this is probably the best thing I can do right now, at least for my soul.

The endocrinologist I'm supposed to start seeing doesn't have an appt open until April 2026. NEXT YEAR. I hate the healthcare industry so much. (Actually I hate pretty much everything today. And I would love, love, love a cigarette.)

I smoked my last cigarette today. I'm proud of myself but also trying not to panic about tomorrow, and the next day...

I think I managed to post a Story instead of a Post on Instagram celebrating my mom, because I can't find it now. Stupid Instagram. Anyway, here's my adorable, wonderful mom as a college girl.

I was one of the original generation to watch Sesame Street. I loved it and learned from it. Along with Mr. Rogers, it was an essential piece of my childhood. But I was a happy, well-fed kid with a loving family--for too many kids who weren't, it was a crucial lifeline. I'm sickened by Trump.

Every time I think of posting something, I realize I'm just ... so tired. Of everything. I need nice cozy cave to live in. Just me and books. Lots and lots of books. And candles, I guess.

This is what I don't understand. Bernie apparently drew in thousands, but where is Obama, Michelle, even Hillary?
Adam Serwer said this week the American intelligentsia has not produced a fraction of the criticism of Trump’s fascist assault on American freedom that it deserved.
Here’s an example.
Barack Obama should be literally yelling about the end of the American Republic. Does he not have the nerve?

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

This place is comfort for me, albeit with a nasty but necessary slap of current reality now and then. I never imagined feeling this heartsick and this terrified in my life, not in the U.S. And yet. I honestly don't know if we'll survive this.

I have never hated anyone the way I hate the orange shit stain and the muskrat. Like, I want them ... not living anymore. It's only WEEKS into this term. I can't imagine the horrors to come.

I'm at my library several times a month, usually. Books you can read for free! Music and movies and graphic novels and magazines! Nothing else like it. Mine is the West Chester Branch of the Chester County Library system, and it's one of my favorite places.
