I’ve been perfectly upfront that I will be voting for Biden and any Democrat on my ballot. He may not be a 10 when it comes to being president, but he is definitely a 10 when compared to the alternative. Biden still has a pretty high belief in democracy and personal freedoms. In 2020, Biden… Continue reading Biden: Still Up to the Task?

How Do We Resist
Across the country, seemingly almost every day, there is a news story or reporting on disruptions at school board, election board, county supervisor, and other meetings. A small group of very vocal people, always inferring they represent a sizable chunk of constituents, spread lies, disinformation, and often threats, to those who oppose their viewpoints. Open… Continue reading How Do We Resist
Kitchen Table Issues
On Thursday we heard an excellent and strong State of the Union address by President Biden. He hit a lot of salient points about the Republic, democracy, domestic and foreign policy, and challenges ahead. Surprisingly he even directly took the Supreme Court to task on decisions they’ve made, specifically the repeal of Roe v Wade.… Continue reading Kitchen Table Issues
Legacy Schmegacy
Legacy Something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. Narcissist An extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Power Possession of control, authority, or influence over others. Why did I start with those three words? I did so because it seems those three words are a… Continue reading Legacy Schmegacy
The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues
My husband asked for tickets to go see To Kill a Mockingbird for Christmas. It was a small ask, so we got tickets to go late in January. I knew it was a famous book, the only book by Harper Lee, but knew nothing more about it, which feels a little disappointing to say after… Continue reading The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues
106,298
106,298 seems like a very large number when used without any context, but yet the mainstream media is acting as if it is 100 million. Please forgive me as we go through some math. The next figure to contemplate is 752,249. A much larger figure of which 106,298 is just 14.1%, again not a very… Continue reading 106,298
People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
We seem to be entering the next phase of authoritarianism and Facism. In court this week, a lawyer actually stood before a judge and stated the President of the United States essentially has blanket immunity. The only way to stop a President is be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Then, and… Continue reading People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
December 31, 2024
As 2023 comes to a close, my mind has wandered to where we will be as a nation at the end of 2024. I wonder because 2024 is a presidential election year. The last one in 2020 just didn’t go so well, ending with an insurrection and the continuation of the slow crawl towards a… Continue reading December 31, 2024
Loss of Connection (Part II)
Last week I wrote about the loss of connection at a more personal level. Discussing the change in how society interacts appears to be doing more harm than good for us as a nation and as a world community. This week I want to discuss the loss of connection in the workplace and in support… Continue reading Loss of Connection (Part II)
Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
This tweet came across my feed yesterday: This is not the first time a tweet of this sort has shown up on my feed, but it is the first time I’ve thought anything about it. Usually I keep scrolling as it just seems like a click-bait kind of post. Not this time. This time it… Continue reading Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
