Once again, I didn't even know this was happening until it was over 😭

Bird! A blue jay. Sitting on a bent branch of a dogwood tree, the branch mounded with snow, the dappling of late day sunlight behind. The blue jay is in the left of frame, facing right, its tuft slicked back and catching the golden light. In its mouth -- er, it's beak, is the beak its mouth, or is the mouth inside the beak okay never mind whatever -- IN THE BEAK is a peanut. A treasure. A prize. A little snack. The blue jay looks quite pleased at what it is found in the snow -- taken before a squirrel could get it. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

ANYWAY, sorry, here's a bird. Pause and regard the bird. The bird is happy, for the bird has found a peanut. May we all find the small joy of finding a tasty snack today.

I'm tired of the world as I know it ending over and over only to keep on chugging as an ever-worse version of itself. Things were finally starting to turn around. I was finally happy.

Feels like Armageddon out here again, and I just miss my cranky old cat. I can't even grieve properly bc it's mixed up in all the other shit I'm sad and angry over.

"So I'm not sitting here condoning everything that's happening in China, I'm saying if you wanted American citizens to actually believe that we were better than China, why don't you actually BE better than China?"

"Do you know how we manage our homeless population? We throw them in prison. We take our veterans and we turn them into slaves. In China they give them temporary housing and a job."

"And of that, at least China has universal healthcare. At least China has public transportation. At least in China they're not having their kids shot on a daily basis. At least in China they've managed their homeless population."

"There is really not much that you can say about China in a negative light that you cannot find some kind of equivalent here in the United States."

"Oh, their working conditions are terrible? You haven’t raised the min. wage in 15 yrs. The min. wage is still $7.25, meaning you could work a full time job & still only make $15k/yr, w/ no guaranteed benefits. On top of that, you're actively trying to ban a secondary source of income from people."

"Oh, they're condoning a genocide, they're committing a genocide. That's fucking laughable. Say that to the Native Americans, say that to 🇵🇸, say that to 🇨🇩, say that to Sudan. In fact, say that to any country in the global south."

"There's a reason that we have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, it's because it's legalized slavery. Go ahead, read the Constitution, it says no slavery except for incarcerated people. "

"Oh, they have massive amounts of human rights violations? Forced birth is a war crime that is happening in the United States right now; child marriage is legal in the United States right now; our prison system is legalized slavery."

"Oh, they don't have freedom of speech? You're trying to ban [TikTok] as we speak right now."

"Oh, they they don't have freedom of press? All of the billionaires have bought up all of our press sources, as well as all of our politicians, so that they can control what laws are passed as well as the narrative surrounding those laws."

"Oh, they spy on their citizens? Yeah, that's called the NSA.

Oh, they can't Google Tiananmen square? They don't want people knowing their history? You're trying to ban history books right now because you don't like that white people looked bad during the slave trade."

"The problem with the American government trying to propaganize us against China is that there is nothing that they can say about China that is not either effectively the same or worse in the United States."
