Disgruntled American enraged with the state of things. Books, coloring, coffee, tea, dogs, leadership, EQ, the brain, all bring me joy and/or intrigue me.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.
And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Saw it last night! I sobbed. Brilliant performances. Jonsson needs an Oscar for this one.
TODAY #TheLongWalk opens in theaters everywhere! Are you ready to Walk or Die? CAUTION: This movie is not for everyone. Intense. Brutal. Violent. Uncompromising.
A harrowing, but life-affirming experience unlike anything I've ever been a part of.

I took these shots of a moth tonight. Started playing with the image settings on my iPhone like I was some kind of savant … all because I was, for a moment, reminded of all the beauty we’re surrounded by and was able to bask in that and forget the ugliness that tries to drown it out.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.
It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them.
We must get Big Money out of politics.
No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

Tbh, I’m finding this hard currently. The sheer idiocy has made me rage -filled, yet oddly numb.
