#holdfast — Public Fediverse posts

Good God, life wears me out lately. It just makes me exhausted. Shit really feels like it’s getting real. A lunatic with dementia is ruling our country, surrounded by sycophants unable to utter any other words but yes sir, and those who are supposed to tell us that the house is burning down around us are just talking about the pretty colors of the flames. Two more of my friends got canned from federal service today because their office within #CMS was eliminated. Not sure if #DEI had anything to do with it but it wouldn’t surprise me. But, as always, tomorrow is another day. #Goodnight #HoldFast #EmpathyMatters

The #Night is darkening round me,
The #Wild #Winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant #Spell has bound me
And I #Cannot, cannot go.

The giant #Trees are bending
Their bare #Boughs weighed with #Snow.
And the #Storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond #Clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing #Drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
