Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.

-Lao Tzu from the Tao te Ching
I just don't have enough faith in the passive road for every situation. I am at the "Flipping The Damn Tables Over" stage. I've been through too much abuse in my life to be passive. I think that people who have never been under real threat are the ones who believe in passivity as the only way.

Here's the President of South Africa having to sit through a fusillade of lies about an alleged "white farmer genocide" in his country that exists only in Trump's addled brain.

Donald is so fucking stupid, so gullible, & this is achingly, cringingly embarrassing. What a sad joke the USA has become.

A Mother's Day Hell, From the GOP open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl... I know this is oldish news but I think there needs to be outrage over this kind of terrorism being inflicted on anyone who isn't "white". I don't want to celebrate Mother's Day again until every mother can celebrate mother's day.
