"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

I just spent 3 1/2 hours on the phone with the IRS yesterday for a client being threatened with liens for not paying $1300 of tax that they actually actually paid. The system posted the payment to the wrong tax year, and now it's stuck. Still not resolved. But, yeah. Fucking bombs.

My love, what if you
were not Nietzsche and I was not
Gloria Steinem. And I was not
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, or Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, and 
you were not
Isaac Newton, or Einstein, or Hegel, and we lived
Ordinary lives, here and there,
foraging for mushrooms in the swamps
and children's minds and sometimes find
ing chickory root for inflammation,
poke for lymphatic tincture, honey
for mead. What if sometimes you
sang in the kitchen while making bone broth
from chicken feet, and played happy 
snippets on the violin, and I
periodically baked bread in a clean 
(ish) kitchen, sang Broadway, laughed, and 
sometimes, we held hands in the grocery,
took kids to the Asian market, watched
Netflix with our eyes closed, spooned
in bed, and weren't the next
Nobel Prize Winner, breakout academic
Wunderkind, surprise New York Times
Best-selling magical fairy child. 
What if we went wild: Mowed lawns.
Got mail. Refused to live
up to the potential somebody wrote
on our report cards long ago, and instead
utterly wasted our lives
on loving and living and loving
and refused to yield to the expectations
that anything less fiscally responsible
is imprudent. What if what we saved
did not end up being millions, 
my sweet, but our own souls? And all along
there will be enough for the movies
sometimes, enough for croissants and
soft pretzels, and enough to sit
and do the crossword and kiss you goodnight. 
What if instead of being
memorable, we make memories,
responsible to not the whole world
but our world. And what if it is ordinary, and
we are inordinately enough.

The same reason they aren't covering much of anything - the national media is controlled by the oligarchs.

The massive cloud of tear gas unleashed by ICE for the second day in a row is affecting people miles away from the ICE facility. They're gassing children. They're gassing everyone. This is a war crime. #fuckICE #Portland

Every day there is more insanity (especially Fridays for this administration). Some of it (I suppose) is not even horrific, but how can we even process anything when the avalanche of chaos never stops?

I figure the ICE agents are already acting out earlier trauma in maladaptive ways. Generational trauma can turn people into real assholes.

The only people in the US who think Trump is smart are idiots who've been told to believe that.

Rethinking waking up to NPR when it is a jump scare of Trump's demented dementia rambling.

He's still going, isn't he?

I occasionally think about this film and get freaked out from the memory. One of the most successfully creepy films I've ever seen.
