Here to find a community where it is safe to be yourself, know you don’t know everything, and feel safe to ask questions. Forced to be political. Prefer art and things that lead with love instead. Hopeful but fully Woke to know we need to do better.
Well said.
If I could like and repost this a gazillion times I would, but I'll make a little image meme of it instead:

Just exhausted lately. But catching my second wind. Need to get energized and re-engaged.
Willing it into existence kicking and screaming the whole way if I have to.

Not my words, but comes directly from a conversation I had. May Seem basic to some, but I stopped and wrote it down because it speaks so much truth to the Atrocities happening here in the US & globally.

Some people tend to say indoctrinate when they seem to mean educate.
Some people are truly scared of children’s poor minds being corrupted & recruited by the evil agenda of DEI.
Are they worried that innocent minds will follow the voices spreading love for all over imprisonment & damnation? WTF

My opinion as a Texan who is tired of ethical, morally centered people’s voices behind silenced and ignored. The Texas Redistricting that is happening right now can not be defined as anything more than scared people in power grasping at straws to keep the bribe money rolling. Pure Stank Ass Bullshit

Kind of where I’m at honestly. Finding the happiness in being blessed to still have people to be happy with even when the world makes us feel we don’t deserve it. Sharing love doesn’t mean everything is ok. But it prepares us for happier times when we beat this evil back to submission & obliteration
you can still radiate light if you’re sad. you can still be kind and soft-hearted if you’re a bit cynical. you don’t need to be the happiest person to make someone else’s day better. ♡

Honestly even further back then that, from when he was denying housing on basis of race. Luckily I had a father that hated him long before I could pick up the torch.
Miss you Dad. Wish our torch could burn the whole thing down.

I hated Donold back in the Central Park five days long before it was cool.

I’ve had a similar conversation. Only not with my son. Luckily he has been forced fed Trump hate since Trump was firing people for ratings on reality TV. Scarier still it’s with people who somewhat directly affect my distribution of pay. One of the reasons I’ve kept my work options open since 2016.
My son thinks I've got "Trump Derangement Syndrome." I calmly explained to him that actually, it's just the sound of a cult member's brain short-circuiting when their God- Leader goes off-script. Common mistake."

Needed this comment today. It saved me from turning off the light I have growing inside again finally. Thought it might help somebody else today.

This! 100 %Call this what it is.
What we say and do matters. This isn’t cute or funny. We are dealing with control, overreach, death and abuse. It is about to get so much worse, the silent people are not ready. It is going to take a lot of work to get back to normal if there ever was a normal.

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop
Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

I firmly believe we need to retire all the CUTESY names for the camps that are going to start popping up because they are officially fully funded now. My opinion we need to name them after the city/region they are in and not sugar coat it.
The first facility is The Everglades Concentration Camp.

When do we have to start paying for things with Trump coins?Quick and digital. Better than the US Dollar.
I can literally hear it at this point.

I thought Idiocracy was funny at the time. I never signed up as an extra for the prequel.
We are living in a world where some dystopian nightmares you could never believe aren’t just possible. They are happening or in the beginning stages of such. We need to turn off the devices and look around.

I have found an issue arising in my algorithm. While I love all animals and their beauty, truly do. I will admit I do have my favorites. I love my cats and cat lovers and all, but literally where are my dogs at this week? Really needing some best friend love.

So very hard!
Monopoly always felt like a double, triple negative with a backward twist.
Just like Life I guess. Too much of a good thing gets you in trouble. I say got to be just lucky enough to win, but stay free. Oh and look at jail as timeout when you are ahead. That and always be the Scottie.

My personal music rabbit hole sent me on a deep dive this morning including Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Lil Dicky. To say my morning has been interesting and a little all over the place would be an understatement. But hey it’s me living my authentic self. Win 🏅

“Controlling the Algorithm” seems like a full time job now. I NEED to know the horrible things being perpetrated around us. But man I have to have my music, animals, art, games, and being stupid just cause on purpose. I yearn for the day when it’s too many of the fun pics to get through again. ❤️🌏🤯

What a tribute! “In my Room” was so important to me growing up. It spoke of my first personal sanctuary. It was my first safe space to be alone and ok. It was filled with things I loved and was proud of and still is. I’ve come full circle and am actually staring at my “childhood room”. Still safe.
DIANA KRALL performed the Brian Wilson/Beach Boys song "In My Room" when I saw her Thursday night at the Elkhart Jazz Festival. Beautiful.
I just found out she did "In My Room" and Bob Dylan's “Queen Jane Approximately” as the encore last night when she closed her show in St. Louis.
Here is video
