I stand with Senator Kelly. With Gaza. With all the disappeared. Against the misery of unaffordable health care, housing, and the invitation to reduce and oppress women.

Cancer is the shrapnel of toxic modern life. My friend has cancer, and yesterday hospital doctors told her they were not looking for a rehab any more, but for comfort care. The moon hears my howls.

De-webbing the basement - vacuuming up old webs and some dead spiders. Hauling 10 bags of various salt and melt into the mudroom. Climate change is giving us new winter surprises, tho’ today is a regular treacherous ‘wintery mix’, on the border of rain and snow.

This isn’t hard - there should be NO conversation suggesting violence towards each other, or eradicating groups, or basing merit on color. Just zero. It’s not a question of where is the line - there is no line. It’s not ok.
