I don’t drink tea much, but I got Trader Joe’s chai tea recently and am now enjoying a cup.

This tea is so good, I have this INSANE idea that I might have it tomorrow morning instead of coffee.

I can’t remember the last time I went w/out black coffee in AM.
I’m both terrified and exhilarated.

And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed.

"We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

Evidence of the truth.
I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

I remember when the Iraqis were celebrating. That didn't last for long.

A lot of accounts on here telling anyone who’ll listen that voting in the midterms is hopeless/worthless.

Do NOT listen to these people.
This is voter suppression.
Ask yourselves why these ppl want you to give up hope.

Resist this doom talk and make a plan to #vote in your midterm elections.

Anyone who refused to vote for Harris - no matter your flimsy reasons - needs to sit down today and keep quiet.

If you wouldn’t vote for her, but you’re on here blaming Democrats for today’s events-
Kindly fuck all the way off with that BS.

Idgaf who this offends.
Remember, you enabled this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this Venezuela stunt has Rubio’s fingerprints all over it.

My daughter moved out back in summer, and I’ve occupied her old bedroom with my writing desk and a reading chair next to the window (I’m sitting here now.) And..

I have two empty walls left in the room.
I could put a guest bed in, but…
What if I faced a whole wall of bookcases every morning?

We chartered a boat
To a faraway island.
Blue we cannot see,
Yellow we only fathom
In the depths of our vast dreams.

FIRST REFORMED is one of the best films I’ve seen in a while.
Beautiful, ugly, despondent and hopeful.
I’m still thinking about it.

8 years ago, when the orange tapeworm was about to take office, I posted this on social media. Still relevant now.

I joined BlueSky about a year ago, dk exact date.
This platform has been a bright spot for me this past year.
I’ve tried to focus on poetry, movies, and other things that I love and bring me joy.
And hope.
I came here in despair and found hope.
Thank you all.

WOW.
Series finale was way, way better than I ever expected.
Bravo!

I needed that tonight.

“A life without despair is a life without hope.”

A quote from the film, FIRST REFORMED starring Ethan Hawke.
Watched this yesterday morning and it has stayed with me since..
Honestly, one of the best films I’ve watched all year.

I think my New Year’s resolution will be to actually revise and edit one of the poems I wrote this year.

Just one. Baby steps.

No one is more tiresome than the Reddit online #StrangerThings fandom.

I think most of them must be youngs who don’t get the 80s refs and homages.
Seems to be schoolboys who fancy themselves edgy film critics but they’re stuck having to critique a nostalgic sci-fi show geared toward olds.

One less bigot on the planet.

But don’t worry, more are being born, raised and nurtured as I type this.
