It seems like every day is getting more horrible than the last in the US. I watched this video multiple times, my brain reeling at what this woman must have felt from the moment a man in a black hoodie and mask accosted her.

Illegal, immoral, and wrong.

The sheer disrespect shown towards President Zelenskyy today in the Oval Office will be a stain on America for the rest of our lives. Disgusting. President Zelenskyy did right by the Ukrainian people today while the grifter in the Oval Office and his side kick were national embarrassments.

Federal workers are not a drain on the US economy. They are a really important investment.

Raymond's first book is out on Kindle Unlimited! Paperback coming tomorrow! This is my first time editing a full book and it was quite an adventure. The hilarious footnotes make this a fun romp through game development for even the most non-techie's out there.

I love upworthy articles when I'm feeling disillusioned. This ADHD study totally tracks for me as an adult with ADHD. My symptoms are very mild when I am overextended. Times with little stress and commitments are much harder to wade through.

Today this article about the forced breeding of African slaves on plantations reminded me about our not so distant history. We can't forget our past or we will repeat the injustices.
