Happy birthday mom. You would have been 58 today.

I'm not doing great, but I'm taking things one day at a time. Dad's alive for now, but he's also not doing well. We'll make it though.

I'm sorry I'm still not talking to my sister. She brings a drama and chaos into my life I just can't stand. You know that.

I love you. If there's an afterlife, I hope everything there is wonderful.

Your son,
Joe.

Dear World,

We tried. We really did. The sane among us voted. We canvased. We talked to people. Unfortunately, there was entirely too much bullshit, corruption, hatred, and apathy to overcome and we were ultimately defeated.

I'd like to add a sarcastic thank you to the millions of Americans who were eligible to vote who just... Didn't. Good job guys.

I'm going to take a step back from everything for awhile. Recharge and rest. I need it. I'm exhausted. I'll be back though.

Well America, not only did you open the door for and elect the fascist, you carried him in on a goddamn golden chariot.

Let's see how much "fun" the next four years are. How much of the middle class will just be eliminated?
