Has anyone else noticed how perfect February is on the calendar?

Bright, sunny day in the 30’s. Sunshine makes such a difference. I have full-spectrum overhead lights that I turn on every morning for a few hours, and even they, which look like a sunny day in here, are not enough to combat the blahs that gray days bring. I never had a problem til we moved to New Hampshire, and the entire time we lived there is seemed like the sun never shone the entire month of February. I’m sure it did, but it just was gray day after gray day. Gets you down, for sure.

Am trying to avoid the bad news and only check social media every second or third day now, because I am just so angry, and frightened, and frustrated, and appalled at my fellow humans for their blatant cruelty and the way so many celebrate the harm done to others. It is extremely demoralizing, and I am having a hard time coping with pain and fatigue already, and don’t need more downers. But you have to know. You have to speak out. I think this is what went so wrong in Nazi Germany. Those who weren’t happy to steal other’s homes and possessions when they were sent to the camps, were just sitting by and letting it happen.

Just cleaning up my folders. Sorry. 🙂

If you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.
mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.
if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.
if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.
if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.
your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.
did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.
in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

The system has been broken for eons, and nothing is done to change it in a positive, only a negative (Yay! Nazis in charge!) way. Maybe we just need to throw them all out and start from scratch. IDEK I have no answers. I am just frightened about where we are going to end up.

That I think are interesting:

You have to right click and click ‘open image in new tab’. Bah!

Backing up my January blog posts, was looking through and saw this again. Got me thinking. This woman is asking us to pray to her Christian god that her son gets a job that allows him to kidnap, torture, and murder people. Does she not know that the designation of ‘Christian’ means ‘follower of the teachings of Christ’? Have not completely read the bible, but I think the New Testament, the one for AFTER Jesus was born and all that followed, does not mention Jesus approving of randomly murdering people just because you can.

So I’m thinking that we are not going to get the apartment we were hoping for. Late this afternoon I received an email requesting more information, more paperwork, more explanations. This is due 9am Monday morning. They are trying to tell me something, me thinks.

The second one is actually good things. There still are good things and good people. Don’t lose hope. Hard, I know, but we will win. WE WILL WIN.

Campbell’s is closing the Hyannis operation. I love Cape Cod Chips. Anyway, here is what Campbell’s says, which I firmly believe is the usual stuff corporations put out when the do these things:

“This difficult decision reflects a careful assessment of our business needs to strengthen our operations and position our Snacks business for long-term growth,”

I think this is corpspeak for “More money. We need to make more money, regardless of the cost to our employees or anyone who is not us.”

I am so over capitalism.

Never sure about posting these, but it seems to be important to share info about the horrors we are being subjected to, with the occasional bit of good news that actually happens as well. So here:

So far, we have gotten 15 1/2 inches, with more to come later tonight. Woo Hoo!!!!

Betrayal for those who are suppose to be the good guys. There are no good guys anymore, it seems.
