Freedom
By H.C.

She opens her arms
To the world, yes,
Her many arms
Are open wide,
She knows winter’s
Coming soon
Still she opens her arms
With love, grace,
She shares her joy
Her shining light
Although the shadow
Looms above,
She opens her arms
To the world, yes,
She opens her arms
To the world

It’s so funny that “Antifa” is being treated like this bad word. I mean, who is “profa”? Pro-fascists? Anyone? Anyone? No? Then why the fuss around being anti-fascists? It’s not an organized group and it’s literally people saying they don’t like fascists…🤷🏽‍♀️

It will take some energy because a LOT got packed in there, so of which I liked, and some of which I was like, “Hold up there! What the heck?!”

You are fantastic!

That’s what I keep telling myself - if I’m in bad shape, how can I help anyone else? I have to help myself first. Even though it feels selfish, it’s not.

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

Thank you! It is so nice to be starting to feel like a person and not some fuzz-brain zombie. Today is seriously the first day I’ve felt motivation to do anything besides lie in bed and either watch mindless shows or just sleep.

Goodnight my BlueSky friends! I’m glad to be back among you all.

I missed you! ❤️🥰😍

Thank you, my friend. It sucks that even a little cold can wipe me out, but I also feel proud of myself that I went right into emergency rest mode. I took good care of my body and really got myself better rather than trying to press on. Sometimes it’s hard, but I’m working on being kinder to myself.

Thank you, Jennïe! I’m FINALLY starting to feel the cobwebs melting from my brain. For a while there, I was wondering if I’d be living in a fever dream for the whole autumn!

Oy, my brain is still mush, so I completely missed that pun. I’d better eat some challah to strengthen my neurons for more puns later…

Thank you! I started to recover from the vaccines and I got an awful cold that knocked me down for so long! But now I’m back in the game, and I’ll be better about replying on time 🥰
