Normalize asking off work on Wednesday to go see Frankenstein at the local art-house theater & take a hike by yourself, solely because you have vacation time to burn & Guillermo del Toro is amazing & hiking is good for the soul.

Normalize:
~ embracing your current age,
~ looking forward to the next decade, &
~ forcefully rejecting the boring, stale belief that our best years are behind us & we should resent that we, just like every other being that ever lived, are ephemeral.

I believe that someday, before my kids are grown, a reckoning will take place. The hyper-corrupt Trump & all his complicit sycophants will finally be brought low by the power of the judicial system, and by the righteous fury of we the people.

I decked out my coffee mug with some radical leftist propaganda. I like to drink ayahuasca tea from it while teaching atheism & Marxist ideology to trans toddlers, and organizing Antifa-sponsored rallies supporting embattled anarchist Jimmy Kimmel.
It’s boring, but it’s my life.

Wow, thanks! I'm so used to paying a fee to use wi-fi at hotels and coffee shops! How kind of you to let me access it for no charge! Is using the bathroom free too?
