So, is this the end of our country? It sure feels like it.

Oh, men know exactly how much this terrifies women. Why do you think they are doing it?

I don’t want to go through a depression and a world war in order for the U.S. to find its way out of this. Can we not do that? Please?

Well done, Wisconsin!

Thank you, Senator Corey Booker, for SPEAKING UP in the face of injustice. I would remind everyone, we could have had this man for president.

This is just awful. We have to find a way out of this before too much harm is done.

Yes, I will be participating in the economic blackout today. I have so little money that it will make almost no difference to the way I normally go about my day, but still, I'm in. Screw the oligarchs.

I grew up thinking that nuclear war was more of a threat than the breakdown of democracy.

Can we get an EO that actually protects women, like guaranteeing access to health care and reproductive rights? Let’s go buck wild and guarantee FULL EQUAL RIGHTS for ALL women. Now that would be meaningful protection!

I called my senators today, and Keith Ellison as well. I suggest you do the same!

I avoid swearing in my posts (I’m old fashioned and squeamish), but it’s ABOUT FUCKING TIME.

Breathe. Drink water. Move. Sing. More water. Breathe.

I am trying not add to all the political noise on social media right now. But it is hard, because I am so angry and despondent about so many things. I am trying to do more connecting in real life, which might be the best thing any of us can do at this moment.

That’s the first time I ever cursed out a light switch πŸ˜†

I carefully pulled my sleeve over my hand to before I flipped the kitchen light switch. It didn’t give me the usual static shock. So I pulled out my hand and went ahead and flipped the second light switch, and just about got electrocuted to death! ⚑️☠️

As I work on my musical programming, it is astonishing how many songs seem to be written exactly for times like these. Clearly, we have been here before.

Surely the person who gave me this bulb in December knew how much I would need to see this flower in January.

I just renewed my passport online. Other than being a little fussy about the background of the photo I submitted, it was really easy!

This might sound odd, but I am feeling so grateful to be a singer among other singers right now. It’s what’s keeping me afloat.
