I am naturally a solutions focused person. My world starts falling apart if I can't see ways I can create positive change or take some kind of action. I also have to know what I have actual control over.

I suggest you list out what you have control over and what actions you can take.

Do you have counseling available through your insurance?

Make use of it.

It isn't just for broken marriages and child abuse survival. It's also good for surviving the fall of our country.

Just a reminder. There are many classes offered by the red cross available online.

Now would be a great time to update your cpr and 1st aid certifications and possibly look at getting additional training in trauma or other topics.

Your daily horoscope:
Today you will feel like a modern day superhero: moody, sarcastic, confused about your place in the world, and often reluctant to rely on the power hidden within you.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

None of us know how anything will turn out.
You might have a perfectly normal, even slightly boring night, or you might be swallowed by a ghost dinosaur.
That's what makes life so exciting.

I'm seeing a lot of talk about how we got in this Fascist mess. What I'm not seeing is talk about how we get out.

I wish I felt like lawsuits, letter writing and protests would do the trick.

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say:

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

In this house, we believe:
- love is love
- science is real
- pants are optional
- french fries are health food
- dagger skills are the best skills
- moss and magic rule everything around us

My advice?
Be the whisper on the wind.
Be the thing that goes bump in the night.
Be the reason "Here Be Monsters" is printed on a map.
Be the moss covered horror in the old forest, shambling in the gloom.

Started crocheting a kraken in trans colors.

I might be feeling fierce.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

There comes a point in every life when you have to decide if you're ready to leave it all behind and become a wandering shade of the wildlands, draped in moss & malice.
Are you ready?

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”
THIS HAS TO STOP.

Trump says there must be "pain" for Americans in this idiotic trade war of his.

Ask yourself, what pain does TRUMP suffer?

What pain will the billionaire class suffer?

Why is it that when Republicans talk about pain and sacrifice, it's always YOU who suffers for their vision?

Never give up.

Parents, have you talked to your kids about the dangers of the old forest?
The seductive lure of a mossy nook or sun dappled meadow?
The siren song of forgotten tombs, talking owls, and ancient witches cackling in the moonlight?
