I gave up trying to reply to everyone.

I’m relieve, happy, relieved, overjoyed, did I mention relieved?

I was truly shaking so hard, I had real trouble typing.

What I didn’t tell you is that we MAY have found a townhouse to buy, which we saw right before the verdict was read.

We’re deciding now.

This day.

This. Day.

THANK YOU ALL for your kind words and love. Back atcha.

TODAY IS THE DAY.

We're in Washington now and arrive in this afternoon. 🇨🇦

Our new home.

It's surreal, scary, wonderful.

My posting will be light until we're settled in a little.

Thank you for all your amazing replies and good wishes. I read them all, but can't reply back.

Big hugs to all of you. 🥰

New: Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse are requesting a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts to discuss "the Supreme Court's worsening ethics crisis" and have sent a letter imploring Roberts to "take appropriate steps" to ensure Samuel #Alito recuses himself from 2020 election and Jan. 6 cases.

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel
Not what I’m hearing:
#Biden specifically speaks to #Gaza during his speech at Morehouse:
“He reminded them that he has called “for an immediate ceasefire…to stop the fighting [and] bring the hostages home.” His administration has been working for a deal, as well as to get more aid into Gaza and to rebuild it. Crucially, he added, there is more at stake than “just one ceasefire.” He wants “to build a lasting, durable peace. Because the question is…: What after?..”

Back to regular life... the Open House, although filled with positive feedback on our house, was a dud.

Again.

It's so disheartening. We're priced right, the house is beautiful, in great shape, great neighborhood... etc etc.

So we wait.

A cool thing about living in an entirely new place: it is just fine to take one’s time, to observe and learn the culture. In fact, it would be rude and arrogant to just assume that one already knows what one needs to know. The bonus is that it is relaxing to let oneself observe without feeling an immediate obligation to DO.

I was mocked yesterday for some decisions I’m making & I’d like feedback—not to feel better, but your honest feedback, but from kindred activists.

  1. Not supporting my partner’s wanting to buy a used Tesla bc of hatred of musk. And I’m told all car business (Honda, GM etc) is dirty. And the advantage to electric outweighs Musk’s obnoxious place in this world.
  2. Not wanting to travel to Fla and Tx because I don’t support their governors/politics.
    I feel empowered and ridiculous. Feedback?💙

Limit how much time you spend on breaking news.

Because news is always breaking.
(And some of it is propaganda⚠️)

Because your heart and mind will pay the price, with heart break. 💔

If you’re privileged to not be in the line of fire, take a breath. Notice the buds. 🌻 Listen to the birds. 🦅 Or music. 🎶 Or bathe in poetry.

My gosh, we are being bombarded.
Choose wisely what you attend to. That’s what grows. 📈

I love you kindred beings. 💙 Take care of each other. 💞

Ideas:

  1. Turn off notifications, especially on those who rage
  2. Take social media apps off your phone
  3. Read more to access critical thinking (rather than tv, which can be ranty)
  4. Set a timer on your apps. Find where you become anxious or numb & (obv) set it before then
  5. Don’t take your phone to meals
  6. Before bed, silence the fucker & create a calming ritual. Use your imagination
  7. If news is first thing in the am, add gratitude & intention before you start your day💙

Hi from Sacramento!

On our way to Medford, OR Margaritaville today. Tomorrow Washington, then Canada.

Posting will be light, replies will be even lighter.

We beeline it from stop to stop, so no thank you on your suggestions on where to go/stop. This isn’t a vacay, this is what we do on our “commute” to BC: Drive for 8-9 hours, sleep, drive for another 8-9, etc.

We’re on a mission. 😉

Dear conservative Republicans,

We look at the size of government differently. We look at the role of government in our lives differently. Our values differ.

But we share democracy & humanity & the rule of law. We all want to live under one nation w liberty & Justice for all, in cooperation w other democracies across the globe.

Join us in this next election & vote for democracy. For the greater good. We’ll sort the details out later.

Love, the UNITED States of America & it’s DEMOCRACY 💙

"Duke University has decided to close its herbarium, a collection of 825,000 specimens of plants, fungi and algae that was established more than a century ago. The collection, one of the largest and most diverse in the country, has helped scientists map the diversity of plant life and chronicle the impact of humans on the environment.

The university’s decision has left researchers reeling."

Guess what. I'm in a very shitty, blocky mood today.

Come into my feed and tell me we need a new candidate? Bye.

Start kvetching and playing into their hands by indulging in the "He's too old" crap. See ya.

Whine about our 2 party system when right now we need to be fighting our asses off for democracy and supporting our candidates? .

This is NOT the day to test my patience.

Don't believe me? Wanna provoke? I will block, no matter who you are.

Let's talk about my role as "perspective-bringer."

I think I am wasting my time responding to each new outrage by offering explanations and perspective.

Let's do some math.

(I know you all, and almost all of you are better at math than I am 😂 )

Editing back because I found it: only 15% of people like seeing social media posts about politics.

Just over 66.6 % of the voters voted in 2020.

People who are highly engaged vote in high numners. . .
