    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws. -John Adams, 2nd US president (30 Oct 1735-1826)

  7. “Taught from infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.”
    Mary Wollstonecraft; A Vindication of the Rights of Woman; 1792.

    Thank you for your conspiratorial analysis of what Harris was REALLY thinking. And I'm not the one thanking you: Trump is.

    Remember: Only a vote for Harris stops Trump.

  9. I've been thinking about #kamalaharris 's speech at the DNC (1st night) for a few days. OK, the part about #Gaza, specifically.

    I decided to annotate my thoughts with terrible graphic design.

    Note: the part on Gaza/Israel was about 200 words, just over 5% of the speech. It was placed 4/5 of the way through the speech.

    I believe Harris emphatically promised to never stop selling weapons to Israel, but maybe that's just my interpretation.

    I think this speech was carefully crafted to walk a fine line: expressing sympathy for Palestine while never implicating Israel in Gaza's destruction and reinforcing Kamala's commitment to #AIPAC.

  12. STATUS: in an entire SEASON of #ADHD #hyperfixation on #WRITING

    GOOD! I'm accomplishing oh so very much #wordsmith-ing! Yay!

    NOT GOOD! I'm completing ~5% of tasks & other projects that *need* *my* attention!

    Also, spouse & offspring are making noises about missing me?😬

    Also, I live in the hope that during my literal 6-8 hours of daily butt-in-chair writing, something external will remind me to drink water & eat. 🫤
