One of the most disorienting narcissistic patterns is the Work/Optics Inversion — when a person believes that appearing to do the work is the same thing as doing the work. #doingthework #Ipromise

Yesterday I was helping take chicken-wire cages off the aspens a CSU student is growing for a research project. Today I was marching with 9000 people (estimate by The Coloradoan) in Fort Collins. Fort Collins has a population of 171,391.
But I don't *want* to build community...
It's hard work. I'd have to go out and talk to people and be nice to them and everything. How come I don't get to just stay here in my little cyber-enabled bunker and expect the world not to go to shit around me?

Happy 100th Birthday, Jimmy Carter. Thank you for being around. Bar none, you are the best human being to be President in my life. There is good in you, and more people should find the good in themselves.

Wednesday, Mastodonians, and I don wanna.
A ton to do and all I can think about it is how nice it would be to take a long walk, sipping coffee, and find a good tree to sit under and read.
*pauses to imagine*
*sighs*
Well, that's enough of that.
Friday, Mastodonians! I have escaped the house and am ensconced in my favourite coffee spot with lots to write.
Time to shut off social media, turn up the music, and see what I can get done. I'll report back at lunch.
Good morning Mastodonians. Time to write all the things. Or think about writing all the things. Or clean the house because I'm avoiding writing all the things. Or . . .
Anyway, Good morning!
Tuesday, Mastodonians! Time to put finger to keyboard and get some new words out. I will report later on how its going . . .
Wish me luck!
