I believe when we see what they've so far not released we will see a worldwide mental health crisis the likes of which we've never seen before.
Please do what's best for your health, start putting together coping strategies, and check in on your loved ones.
It's going to be a rough ride soon

The files help to explain why so many governments sit back and willingly let the average person suffer.

It's not that we don't have the resources.
It's not that if we build social safety nets that "lazy" people on mass will take advantage.

The cruelty is the point. It is by design.

I can't believe I have to admit that my flat earth, Q-anon, reptilian, illuminati mom was actually kinda cooking.
I'm never going to be able to convince her that the moon is real now 😭 lol

Imagine voting for him three times. What's that saying again "Fool me once, shame on the liberals" or something?
I can't recall.

They do not have hobbies, strong social bonds, or ever grow up.
These are narcissistic maladaptive daydreamers who cosplay their interpretation of a powerful person to hide their fragile concept of self.
They are infantile dweebs who should not be feared, but embarrassed. Absolute losers!

I think we have made a mistake in History class by not highlighting enough how fascists are pathetic dweebs who without any self awareness link their self worth to an ancestry fan-fiction to feel special.
These are losers who idolize their forefather's "successes" while having none of their own.

These are scary times, and it's difficult to keep it together. However, I'm seeing how so many people are waking up. If you have empathy, know that you are not alone!
Do what you can for yourself, your family, and neighbors. Look for and be the helpers.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

As usual we have weak sauce finger wagging instead of actually trying to hold Trump accountable. You are part of the reason why this country and the constitution is crumbling.
But hey, you've gotten yours right? Who cares about the common people and their voices?

Also we could have just believed 1000 women instead of going to war with Venezuela. That was an option.

Every member of Congress better be awake and working on actionable steps to stop these unconstitutional acts against Venezuela. I better see them with bags under their eyes tomorrow, because Venezuelan citizens certainly are not getting a good night's sleep.

The invasion of Venezuela is happening because a long line of do-nothing, I got mine, corrupt cowards refused to have any accountability.
I will be surprised if Trump gets more than a finger wagging and a smug "He said he was a peace president" from our leadership as if that'll do anything.

Seeing the east wing being demolished for a ballroom while the government is shutdown, service members are going to food banks, and cattle farmers are being told to suck it...
The government is really in its "Let them eat cake" era huh?

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

Dear Diary,

Daddy Donald is so cute and funny. He made the libs cry saying he'll use tariffs, but he was just joking.
He's such a kind man, he'd never hurt my 401k.

I don't vote for people based on what they say they'll do. I vote based on what I imagined they'll do when I'm kicking my feet and writing in my diary ❤️

A picture of a blue heron bird looking over the tall grass with water in the background. A picture of a cardinal bird peeking out from a downed tree from a recent hurricane. A picture of a Rosette Spoonbill bird dipping its beak into water.

On vacation in Florida and so far my favorite part has been the wildlife. Here's some photos I took of local birds. I've also seen some dolphins and gaters.
Hopefully, I will get to meet some manatees soon ☺️

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

School to Work Transition is an incredible support for young adults with disabilities in our communities.
Historically, they were barred or segregated from careers people w/o disabilities had access to.
They have just as much a right to equal employment as anyone!

Hearing online/IRL talk about replacing teachers w/ AI
Overheard a guy say "Teaching is easy", to hold teachers in such low esteem says a lot about their own intelligence
I'll just say this, if teaching was just reciting info to kids all teachers would have been replaced w/ tape recorders long ago
