Well, not every entry can be a happy one: Politics

What a week (and it's only Wednesday!) Tantrump's got Korea rattling its own sabers in response to his threats and swagger routine, he's authorized oil drilling on the Atlantic seacoast, he (or one of his muppets, DeVos - I'll do a whole post on her, soon), overturned protections for student load borrowers, and the nation's first female Muslim judge, Sheila Abdus-Salaam, was found floating in the Hudson River Wednesday afternoon after she was reported missing.

If it were less terrifying, it might be amusing to take bets on which way Tantrump and his GOP puppet show will get us all killed first..... *sigh*

I promise I won't go all doom (or politics) all the time, but there will be political posts (hopefully mostly more analytical than ranty, but...)

I've had to mostly disengage, the past couple days. Have been suffering anxiety and insomnia because Cheetolini.

It's a cycle; I'll get back to the reading the news and calling my Congresscritters soon enough. Meanwhile, I've become a monthly very-small-dollar donor to the ACLU and have been throwing a couple bucks at good causes such as Jon Ossoff, and various environmental groups. The line between activism and emotional implosion is thin, for me. I'm still trying.

Oh, do I hear you! I have been sending e-mails and sometimes voice mails (I really don't do well with phones, LOL). And I try to encourage and support questioning among my students as much as I can.

But I have to turn it off for a while sometimes. I've also been donating where I can (picked a perfectly fabulous time to become a single mom....), but it's not as much as I'd like. I do try to take advantage when there's a donate in the name of some deplorable jerk, though - double the satisfaction for the money. We take what we can get, eh?
