MissConstrue

So, listen gang. It's been a while since I've done a pep talk.There's none of us that are not feeling like zombies trapped in glue. The existential angst is so thick we could carve it into blocks and it would be more stable than most modern houses.

This is a trauma response. We have been hit with a fire hose of trauma so constant and so powerful that there hasn't been a second to breathe since 47 jubilantly took a crown that wasn't there.

I admit, I'm having trouble doing anything but despair, but as much as I'd like to languish, lament and lie down, (take that, live love laugh), I have to shake off the dissociative fugue and get back in the fight.

Tomorrow, I will get more garden beds started. I will marvel at the purple and pink and yellow flowers sprouting across the back yard. I will Do Something.

Join me? Tomorrow, just to spite them if nothing else, Do Something that makes you or the world better.

I believe in you. I believe in us. We can make it if we pull together.

The do-something point is apt. It's healthy to do things and to see results. "Teach your children well"... to do something. However, to address "despair", note recent developments.

Viktor Orbán was more significant to #MAGA than some of us [i.e. me] realized and he's toast.

#Trump is befuddled about what to do with a war that he started solely to distract from the #Epstein files.

This was negative enough for him, but then he mocked the Pope and posted an AI portrayal of himself as Christ. [No, he wasn't being a doctor in the image.] His support will never drop below a certain level, but it's strained right now. And wait until the next consumer price jump related to the entirely fumbled war.

I'm not expressing support for the Pope here. See my recent post on #Xtian history. However, it's really, really dopey for Trump to piss on -- and even physically threaten -- the Pope as though this will help him [Trump].

The #Ukraine was purported to be doomed to lose to DJT's lover #Putin without U.S.A. support. However, they're doing surprisingly well with the limited aid that the EU is able to provide. Putin will fall and DJT with him.

And #nokings numbers are approaching levels where dictatorships historically can't hold on to power.

The only real threat to the fall of Donald Trump and his ignomius end in prison is #Democrat cave-in leadership. The old guard must go, now, and note that the person saying that is old enough himself.

@fondoffawns @MissConstrue Thanks, sis. I need to get away from the news and out to the yard and patio. It's a warm, breezy day here. I have lovely yellow roses in bloom, along with a gorgeous cactus blossom, géraniums, and more.
Time to repot and fertilize. Enjoy the beauty and get my hands into the soil. 🌞
