Same conflict different day.
How do you remain a ‘woke’ involved citizen of this country,
engaged in the quagmire of the participatory democracy we seem to have created
and not lose either your health or your freaking mind in the process?

Wish I had the answer folks, but I don’t.
Maybe it’s enough to live with the question.
I simply can’t engage in all the nonsense –
*Tom Prices charter flights,
ostensibly for work purposes
(conveniently to locations where his son lives and another to where he owns a home).
Thank goodness he solved the problem himself and resigned;
I don't care if that's the true story or not!

with an individual who is as emotionally, intellectually and socially crippled
as our president.

*Personal emails AGAIN.

#Take a knee – it’s all SO 1968.
It wasn’t about a raised fist then any more than it’s about a knee now.

It’s about brown bodies being killed
because the white power structure needs a permanent underclass.

If you haven’t figured that out by now,
then you’re willfully ignorant –
and you should take a look at whatever your belief system is that
allows you to refuse to see it.

An issue worth being informed about?
US citizens dying and redefining ‘primitive’ in Puerto Rico
for over a week
after the country was destroyed by a hurricane
before this administration notices –
and only sends the USS Comfort
after the suggestion was made by a former Secretary of State on Twitter;
that’s worth noting,
praying about
and supporting with relief efforts.
Our president figuring out that an ocean is really big
and that an island, by definition, you idiot,
means it’s surrounded by that really big water –
not exactly a Helen Keller moment
but it seems like the light is, if not dawning,
at least beginning to filter through the cracks in his head.
Priceless.

The depths of the arrogance, indifference,
entitlement and ignorance
of this Administration
continues to confound me on a daily basis,
in matters both large and small.

Reading
Titrating the news and avoiding the comment sections at all costs.
Loving those on my path
Playing with images and words about MY issues
which at the same time also feels like going home
to discover some roots.
While growing up,
I would hear that we were "Scots-Irish"
and I literally had no idea what that meant.
Well, now I do.

Excited about what lies ahead and,
after the past 9 months,
that’s a wonderful feeling to have again.
