Hey Sarah. This may be a loaded question, but Willson’s bat looking in mid season form has me wondering, is there a statistical argument other than probable health that Willy at 1st and Herrera/Pages at C is an upgrade for the 2025 Cardinals? I assume a partial Goldy rebound is in store this year.

How do we convince the chickens that the fox in the hen house is not going to put chocolates on their pillows?

My Indiana Senators have told me that “My opinion is bad for Indiana.” So they are a non-starter.

What can we do to convince these people that 46.5 more months of this destruction of diplomacy and systems built over 250 years of trial and error is only going to do more harm?

Now today, DJT has directly threatened a sovereign nation simply trying to keep their homes and businesses while allowing Russian State Media into the room.

How much more do we need to see?

I know you are scared. I am too. But there has to be something we can do about it.

Knowingly taking away something keeping a person alive has a name. Murder. Or at a minimum, Manslaughter.

Crimes enabled by 78 million Americans. Enabled by 535 Congresspeople too prideful or two scared for their personal safety to stop. The mechanisms are there to end the bleeding.

65% of the EPA is supposedly on the chopping block. Putting water quality, air quality, and so much more in peril.

Foreign aid, one of the pillars of the State department for decades has been shut down. A decision likely to harm or kill millions across the globe.

The solutions they bought into were not meant to solve THEIR problems, but rather those of the bullies they put in charge.

Now 200k probational federal workers have either lost their jobs or will soon. Adding to a growing unemployment market with not enough jobs to go around.

“A little tough love” and “putting people in their place” and all will be fixed. Their hardships will disappear.

Here is where I lose empathy though. The “Tough Love” that they bought, was something we all knew to be racism. To be sexism. Transphobia and the like.

With any luck, you will get vaccinated against ALL strains of the flu for next year. 50 HR season should be a good start.

For people who can’t read the same book twice, how would they choose a favorite. I think it has to be biggest impact. I may have read an Amelia Bedelia book twice, but It’s Kind of a Funny Story is my favorite.

How did the city of St. Louis end up with Jordan Binnington as their best goalie? Great 2nd half 2019. And way better than I would ever be, but still.

Why are you only sharing descriptions of me in your rant?

Humans are spectacular, but I’m personally a little jealous of the simplicity with which house cats live.

Ask for snuggles? Gets snuggles. Wants left alone? Gets left alone. Doesn’t seem to care about keeping someone happy just to get money to pay your mortgage. That’s a solid second.

I have decided to start reporting all unwanted calls and texts to BOTH of my phone numbers to the FTC for the next week or so. I get about 30 a week at this point between the two phones.

I love your perspective here. It’s hard to remind yourself it’s ok, when all you’ve ever been told is that “the reason you aren’t happy is because you aren’t choosing to be happy.”

In a less eloquent way, this is how I try and explain my relationship w/ depression. Thanks for the words to do so.
