Captain Crunch

So we thank you for the emails, phone calls, shared posts and even just positive attitudes and smiles to strangers during these terrible times. The best you can give to reverse the flow of evil is enough, even if your gestures feel less grand than those of others.

Hey this works both ways! They wanna do away with DEI and equal opportunity? Then every application from a white male that comes across my desk goes straight to the round file, no apologies. 🤷

That is REALLY old news, Senator. Democrats and other left-leaning citizens have been SCREAMING for help with this for weeks. There's a coup happening... Strike that, a coup DID happen. We're no longer a free country. Did you not hear about this until 8 hours ago? What. Are. You. Going. To. Do?!?

If there's anyone in the same boat... I'm feeling super alone too and really need to have this conversation about protecting and nurturing my family during these times. 😞 Not super savvy with BlueSky yet, but there's more in my additional attached posts. bsky.app/profile/this...

A favorite hobby now is deciding which charities and organizations will be receiving donations when I gift any dirty money received from these traitors... 🤔 ACLU, no doubt. Our lovely leftist church (the kind that actually clothes the poor, feeds the hungry, etc.) is having a capital campaign... 🤔

And now that's a part of my vocab forever... 🥹

A timely reminder for me. I'm a terrified mom, wife, and gov employee, worried about my federally-funded employees, wishing I could relax this weekend but freaking out instead. 😞 But the sunrise was pretty... Local coffee shops are calling to me. I should set my phone down and get out there.

Huge accomplishments for me:

1) I did not
2) commit any
3) acts of violence
4) toward right-leaning
5) government officials.

👏👏👏👏

So many typos... sorry.

Our distinguished old man and source of comfort, Mr. Roosevelt. He's notched with scars from an indoor-outdoor life. He turned out to be more Teddy, less Franklin. 🥹 He's not quite so adventurous as he used to be. I wish he could share his old stories of navigating the jungle of our neighborhood.

I'm in an anxiety-rich spiral not sure where to draw the line between paranoid and prudent, tearing up as I write this because I just want to protect my family...

How far down the dark path is too far at this stage? Do we break our bleeding hearts and purchase a gun for protection in our rabidly red state - which we swore we would NEVER do? Do we need a garden? Do we need to get cash out of the bank? Do we need to get our trans teen out of the country?

"Fun" stuff for upcoming summer vacations: Where can we eat out on vacation without breaking our new vow to only patronize local, liberal-leaning establishments? What are the best alternatives to Airbnb, which we have used religiously and successfully for years?

How do I support my kids' education if/when the Department of Education is dissolved and now that students and teachers are permitted to be racist and homophobic? When the economy crashes and I don't want to use cheap chain and bog-bix stores, how do we lower costs and stay fed and clothed?

You're lucky you still have a way to get in touch... Ours have let their mailboxes stay full - haven't been able to reach anyone for weeks.
