No idea really how to get started finding all my other writers here.

Every time I think about it, I’m newly and utterly dismayed that the nazis not only made themselves acceptable again, but are now mainstream and stole an election. In the same America I grew up in. That somehow we wandered so far afield…

Georgie and I were walking across the street when a truck without its blinker on almost ran over us. Inside our neighborhood. I had to run to keep my dog from getting hit and myself. This is not an auspicious beginning to the day. I’m considering cancelling everything.
