@aliciaandrz It absolutely breaks my heart that you are suffering so - you've been an inspiration to so many and you, just as you are what the universe needs right now.
“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).
@aliciaandrz As a former aspiring academic and someone who has used - and occasionally still uses - beer as a way to blunt the experiential sharpnesses of the world as it is - I'm really proud of you and your experience encourages me. Thank you for keeping doing what you're doing.
@sabocat_teacher It wasn't until I was a parent that I heard or understood the phrase that every child in the world is our own child. Seeing how the right treats their own children - weirdly confirms that. Withholding food, withholding love to punish is sadistic.
@PreetBharara I have three daughters - two in college and one in 7th grade. From what I've gleaned you have children of similar ages - how do you explain to them what happened in the election? Or maybe more importantly how do they understand it and explain it to you?
@theJoShPENNER@UHC Went through the same thing with my 87 year old father. He can't walk and can't support his own weight. His only option for living out of a bed is an electric wheelchair - they approved a wheelchair - but not a power chair - and it took 6 months for that decision. Ghouls.
