Agreed!
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Agreed!
Interesting and disturbing.
When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Oh wow, good thing I prefer independent films to Hollywood films.
In 1947, America had the Hollywood Ten, who refused to cooperate with fascism.
In 2025, America will have the Hollywood Three, who will eagerly collaborate.

I’m normally against high taxes but I think we could balance the budget here via a 100-percent levy on morons

Finland is on my bucket list of places to visit. Let's make this go viral! #belikefinland
While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.

I notice a lot of follows on my page, but no one engaging with anything I post. I'd rather have a small following of people who like, share, and/or comment on my posts. Otherwise, what's the point of followers?

This is my mantra.
The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said:
"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."
The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

This is video #1, and since I'm Gen X, I am fully embracing my slowness with grasping modern technology. Video #2 will be in the comments, and wraps up this first Bluesky video. 😁 #genx #writerslife #amwriting
