Hiker, carpenter, hobbyist writer, climber, SUP on flat water, sunfish sailboat.
Was once a weekly Polk Street Beans & Cafe featured open mic reader in 1996 and I still have the mug.
Words in the hamper, under the couch, alongside baseboard, and elsewhere.
People who shared their memories of my folks let me see how others viewed them, people not related, to whom my folks owed no obligation.

I'd say you have the right to berate yourself, but it's not anything I'd recommend doing for longer than a half-second.

And rules are made to be broken, so it's one big circle chasing its own tail.
I enjoy writing. I hate self-promotion.

I agree, but. Our protest (medium-sized rural city) had speakers condemning genocide in Gaza. That will not happen in a mainstream dem org rn (see also, Cory Booker).
Until this disparity is addressed, it's going hinder unity. And maybe it should. Who gets to build the tent?
