One of my coworkers - an amiable older man whom I’m pretty sure voted for him - stopped by my desk and asked if I was OK. I shook my head and burst into tears.

In the moment, I was touched by the gesture. A decade out, we were right to be devastated then. 2/2

I’m reminded of the day after the 2016 election. I went to work feeling completely wrung out from the result. I ate lunch in my car, because I couldn’t bear to be around other people - many, if not most, of whom voted for that guy. 1/2

I feel like if democrats spent this year messaging β€œDonald Trump sent your kids to die so his family could buy another golden toilet” we might get impeachment going.

Here’s last night’s story about police body cams, why they alone won’t lead to more accountability for law enforcement, and how John has an ass that will absolutely quit. Without *any* notice. youtu.be/jP4_2soVZe0

In case anyone is confused, how Jasmine Crockett is being treated as compared to her opponent is a textbook case of #TheDoubleTax.

I was unaware of the potential cognitive symptoms of menopause until I heard a piece on NPR. At 50, I thought I was losing my damn mind.

There are, alas, plenty of voters not paying close attention who are fine with this messaging. Unfortunately. πŸ˜•

Very much a matter of opinion. This isn’t written in stone anyplace, and it doesn’t have to be.

Culture of Healing Reparation, rehabilitation, redemption, reconciliation, restoration. A necessary taxonomy of healing in an age of unnecessary conversations.

Today I wrote about a proposed solution to a cult(ure) of abuse, which is to create a culture of healing, and about what conversations are (and are not) necessary in order to do so.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

Christian zionists are the most insidious kind of antisemite. They support Israel, because they want to corral all the Jews there, so that at the Second Coming, all the Jews will be converted into Christians.

We can’t/shouldn’t have our foreign policy dictated by religious zealotry.
