It definitely helps to take media breaks. I like news stories in the Atlantic which are deeper dives. Having that intellectual side helps me a little.

Regardless you are worthy of self-care. Without it, surviving these dark times will be so much harder. Take moments to experience beauty and peace.😊

She was already plenty low on the totem pole when she stumped for TurningPointUSA, but instead she said...no no...I can be a worse human.

Definitely not into the barely legal type...into the not legal type. Doesn't matter if they looked 18, they weren't. It's just the law. Megyn Kelly is just so awful. Would she say to her daughter if a 50 year old solicited her, and say "Oh, don't worry honey, he's just got a barely legal fetish"?

Absolutely. I'm just saying it was even more of a lie. lol This administration is trying to convince everybody that there is fraud so that they can reduce money towards these programs, even though many of their supporters depend on it. They are just heartless, horrible people.

Thank you, Bethany. I'm an atheist, but I've always felt that knowing the divine comes from the wonder of observing existence as it is, and recognizing that storytelling is a path to understanding and meaning. 🙏❤️

42 million people are on SNAP. So, 186,000 people is 0.4% of the people that get SNAP benefits. That's not an evidence of something being broken.

They could...but they may also take the MTG route. None of them are decent people though, but may feel like they can by the new stewards of the America first MAGA base, who are become increasingly frustrated by Trump traveling to other countries and sending money elsewhere.

Do Bee a good boy or girl. It's etiquette and behavior lessons for children. :)

As well as one can be in the authoritarian bound USA. lol Haven't felt overly poetic this year, but I still try to answer the call when I feel words rise up. :)
