My Boundaries Are Faltering

Like a lot of people, I’m finding that trying to stay informed on the latest news out of Washington, D.C. overwhelming. Every headline reports another group of executive orders that Trump has signed, illegal actions taken by Musk and DOGE, or other policians either…
My Boundaries Are Faltering
Like a lot of people, I’m finding that trying to stay informed on the latest news out of Washington, D.C. overwhelming. Every headline reports another group of executive orders that Trump has signed, illegal actions taken by Musk and DOGE, or other policians either abdicating their responsibilities or gleefully enabling the destruction of our social contracts.Because I know that I’ll spend too much time doom-scrolling if I’m not careful, I’ve removed nearly all social media apps from my iPad and iPhone.

I picked a Celtic style for the decoration on the axe because the Celtic pagan practices have always intrigued me.

Keep Fighting the Good Fight
On Monday, January 20, 2025, a convicted felon who has also been found guilty of sexual battery by a civil jury took the Presidential Oath of Office. Since he’s already broken that oath in 2020 by inciting his followers to use force to block the peaceful transition of power, his second election is a national disgrace. Jen and I already have monthly recurring donations set up for the National Network of Abortion Funds, which we set up right after the U.S.

I know some writers create playlists for their projects or for characters. I truly can't quite figure out how that works. If I have a song's lyrics in the background, I lose focus. Wordsmithing folks, do you write with music on? Any tips for doing so?
