Lately, I've been reminding myself that 75 million voters chose Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
We didn't defeat Trumpism at the ballot box. But remembering that 75 million US adults rejected hatred and fear helps me stay encouraged during these difficult days, weeks, and months.

And it stops feces getting out.
But it also stops OTHER THINGS from getting in to the bear while the bear is hibernating. I mean, look, stay still long enough and something small is gonna make a try for your holes, you know?

Too many turtles
I love turtles and I don't mean to mock them but this is very, very silly. It's tough being a turtle.
There's a bit of a metaphor here as well but you can just enjoy their (low stakes) predicament.
