I have no hate in my heart. I don’t understand hate. When I say, “white people,” I’m speaking of the structure and the destruction inherent in whiteness. You may not have contributed to both, but you can’t help but contribute to one. Your being is a part of the structure. Change begins there.
I love period TV shows like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "Julia," but I always get frustrated by how much time women have to spend navigating the egos of men. Sadly, not much has changed, so period in dress only.

Oddly, something seems missing. Not sure what, being that a certain culture pretty much sets the trends that people steal. Hm. Let me think on it. I'm sure I'll sort it out.

It's curious to me how white people that were horrifically horrible will want a cookie because they have "changed" and are no longer (but still) as horrible as they used to be. Absolutely not.

Farmers are not getting a bail out. Unbeknownst to them, it is an advance on the their land. Once they default, corporations are ready to swoop in, force them to sell for pennies. Then they will build solar farms to provide energy for data centers. The majority of which are in Red States.

Critical thinking will no longer exist once there is no sense of what is real and questioning becomes too much to process. The waters are not only being muddied but polluted, with no systems in place to clean them.

How much worse are we going to let it get? Because it will. They aren't going to just stop and reverse track out of the goodness of their hearts.

When we show up for each other, it makes them have to rethink, because they have been actively training us not to. The country was built on people staying in their place. Except for the Pilgrims. Funny that.

Trump wants to put tariffs on Canadian fertilizer. His reasoning, "I'm full of shit. No one has ever been fuller of shit than me. The best shit anyone has ever seen. So, why should I pay for it?"

Trump will get to put at least one more Justice on the Supreme Court. Thomas will definitely take the golden parachute exit package. Speak up now or forever complain. Only one is action.

If you have to question everything there will be no action, because you trust nothing and no one. As intended.

Dry heat used to warm homes makes it easier for viruses to enter. Have you pulled out/gotten your humidifier? Getting sick is never good, but under this administration it can be deadly.

I feel like it might be time for us to start putting money aside for bail funds. I don't remember a time we have had cold weather demonstrations, but I don't think we cannot afford to wait until warm weather. This chaos has too many layers, making it a cold world. What are you willing do?

At least the Dems had Biden tap out. Reagan and Trump are the same; both on set, playing a role. At least Nancy loved Ronnie. Melania, not so much. Like everyone else, she is waiting for it to be over too. Although, one more post-nup change and she gets a bonus.

It upsets me that Diddy abusing women wasn't enough for people to condemn him. They had to see that he a POS to men too. That's extremely telling. Still, it should be noted, none of this would be coming out had Cassie not been brave enough to say enough. A woman did that. Not men.

The only thing I miss about baseball is the fights. When those thick, they do be thick, boys clear the benches it's full testosterone. No other sport compares. Hockey players don't even throw down like that. Y'all think it's the steroids? Sir, you know that ball hitting that big ol ass didn't hurt.
