Third Term Project Join the constitutional revival movement to elect President Trump to a historic 3rd term in office!

Well this is frightening - they are already starting to work on trying to amend the Constitution so he can be elected a third time! thirdtermproject.com

From the official White House Twitter account today. It's getting really scary.

If everything you post is anti-Trump, I'm probably not going to follow you back. I really don't want my feed filled with things that keep my head in the muck. I may even un-follow some. Sorry, it's for the sake of my sanity.

I'm sorry. This is all so heartbreaking!

Supreme Court asked to overturn gay marriage The Idaho House of Representatives approved a resolution that calls on the court to strike down the landmark 2015 decision that legalized same-sex marriage.

I'm preparing to have my marriage dissolved on a federal level. Straight people don't ever have to think about such a horrible thing. I'll still be considered married at the state level, but we'll be losing all federal protections, privileges and tax benefits.

I am emotionally preparing for my marriage to be dissolved on a federal level. On a state level, I'll still have it. But we'll be losing all federal protections, privileges and tax benefits. We now have to get legal documents together to protect us in the future.

Opinion | How a German Thinker Explains MAGA Morality (Gift Article) Us and them is all the rage.

This really explains a lot. Not just here but also in the Israel/Palestine conflict, Russia, Hungary, and in many conflicts around the world. I think understanding this is key to understanding much in our world. Us vs Them!

I'm not familiar with the "Anchored" book. It looks interesting! And love Tara Brach. Thanks!

So what are you reading right now? Are you investing in reading anything to help your sanity in these crazy times? I'm currently reading "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodron. It's heavy on meditation, which we probably all need to practice right now!

Yay, thanks for interacting! More to come!

I will check it out, thank you!

That's great...thank you!

I may need to check out who you follow! All I know is that I want my account to be more about positivity and finding peace during these difficult times. And I hope that some sort of community can be built around that.

Let's do it!

I also really wonder how much community there will be here. Not all of my friends are here. This isn't going to replace Facebook and the friends I have there. But, I think I'm going to give it a try and see what develops. If you are here and care about what I have to say, please interact with me!

I've really been trying to decide what to do here on Bluesky. Honestly, I don't want to get into the mire of the constant anti-Trump stuff that is here. I may post a FEW things like that from time to time, but that's not what I want my account to be about....

It's bad. People keep saying that it isn't going to be as bad as we are thinking but I think they are being Pollyannas!

Right??? 🙃

Mississippi politician files ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’ "People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.”

Uh...this is how crazy things are getting. This won't pass, but to have the craziness to even come up with a bill like this? Our country is really sick right now.

I had been looking forward to visiting Wat Umong because it is unlike any other temple in Chiang Mai. The actual temple is located inside tunnels and is over 700 years old. Up above the tunnels stands the pagoda. And that broken Buddha head sits in front of the temple. Amazing place!

The Silver Temple, Chiang Mai.

A small taste of Wat Pha Lat, an immensely gorgeous temple.

High atop a mountain looking down over Chiang Mai is the temple at Doi Suthep. It's a pretty touristy place but well worth the visit.

Time with family can be difficult for some people, and even more so for those from the LGBTQ+ community. If you’re feeling ignored, unseen or disrespected by those around you this holiday season, please remember that you matter and you are wonderful just as you are.
