Admittedly, it makes me nervous & socially uncomfortable to further thrust myself into making my voice heard in protest against Musk & his Musketeers, but not saying or doing anything at all would be foolish & further contribute to the dismantling of everything from immigrant/LGBTQ/ women's rights.

It definitely feels weird to be starting out someplace new, but maybe it is time to start somewhere new vs staying complacent and doing or saying nothing at all. Hate does not have a home in my heart and thoughts against anyone from the LGBTQ and immigrant communities and never will.

So this is my new home for who knows how long, but I suspect it will be likely a permanent thing with my increased disgust and distrust of anything related to the rotten pumpkin patch in the current weed-filled garden of politics and corruption in other social media outlets.
