08.25 the horrors persist - these edits are so close to finished... not where I wanted to be, but where I need to be (?)

In which I remind myself that edits are a slow, torturous process. #indieauthorsofbluesky #writing #substack

the view from Monday, 5.25 I’ve been physically and mentally exhausted over the last few days. Life is lifeing and my body is going through it. I had too many tasks and chores to take care of this weekend and the Sunday post fell by the wayside, but I wanted to share this tiny bit of hope that filled me today. I have two orchids in my shower, they’ve been with me for years, and they usually bloom once a year. I hadn’t given them much thought until I saw this tiny, baby bud starting to form. I don’t know why, but it brought me a little bit of joy. I hope it brings you a little bit of joy too.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

the view from Sunday,Β 4.25 on love languages and Valentine's Day My love languages are time and touch, my partner's are gifts and service, all this to say that Valentine's Day (and birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries) is always an interesting time. This year, I'm deep into my low buy, and gifts are one area that I'm working on. I don't want to engage in hyperconsumerism, and I know that we both have more than enough, so I've been focusing on experiences. He's been meeting me halfway. This year's surprise was a luxury dining experience (which was lovely and not a little intimidating).

the view from Sunday,Β 3.25 on distractions, dread, and not doing much my latest read, journaling and migraine essentials I’m stuck. The events of the last two weeks have taken a sledgehammer to my carefully laid out writing goals. Try though I might not to get sucked into the spiral of bad news, bad thoughts, and bad dreams, I can’t help it. I’m in that weird place between needing to know and knowing that there’s not much I can do. It’s also been a week at work, so I’m feeling extra vulnerable. As an elder millennial, I’m definitely part of the generation that always feels on edge about the future.

Right now we’re witnessing the difference between authority and power.

Elon Musk does not have the legal authority to do any of the things he is doing. He is not authorized to shut down USAID. He is not authorized to take over OPM. He has no legal authority to access all our data and payments.
