This is to be remembered, always. For the vast majority of us, kindness and community is the default, not the exception. Cruelty takes more effort to maintain than the simple wish to live and let live. Fear is a divider, yes, but it requires constant reaffirmation not to simply burn away.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

having to have my head chocked to the side so I can read my phone screen with my polarized sunglasses on is an annoyance I've never been able to get over

Used 67 on my daughter and she got angry and forbade me "ever using it again in this house." So, successful dadding this morning.

Was just told by my daughter that listening to loud angry music to drown out my brain so I can think is not normal. I'll come up with a rejoinder after I turn on some music.

Getting dinner ready. Wondering why the hell the water isn't coming to a boil. Everything else ready. Water still hasn't boiled. Stare at it for a good 10 min more before noticing that I never turned the burner on. Attention is sometimes lacking in me.

I don't understand people who do Christmas shopping early. If I find something to buy someone I'm going to give it to them now because I'm excited to give them something I think they'll love. Any more than two weeks ahead and they're getting it now, not waiting for a silly holiday.

Dem leaders *could* have spent the past half decade going in front of cameras saying "trans rights are human rights, disabled people are worth keeping alive, genocide is a crime," etc.
Even without a majority. No magic wand needed, just a camera.
They didn't. They did the opposite.
