Keep going: The "problem" with a good economy, the "problem" with freedom - people don't realise the work, safe guards, considerations that went into any healthy state. It's as if they assume they are just charmed. Ego-blind while dismantling all of the structure upon which they stand. Wild.
In today's episode of "Say what you Mean," I'm going to stop using "1%", "Elite", and "ultra-rich" and move right on to "Parasite". I am all for people doing well for themselves, their family, their community. I am not for parasitic extraction.
Rebecca Solnit: “They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.”
Poem by Albert Camus on beige background in white text - Invincible Summer: My Dear In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realised, through it all, that...In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger - something better, pushing right back. -Albert Camus.

Borderline reckless.
I try to meditate daily and use tarot for focus. I continue to get cards noting my resistance to change. Hogwash! I say, clutching my Emerging Strategies book and making notes on essays by Eisler. Then I look up... At the calendar. Oh, that change. Yeah-
Sometimes I’ll go get coffee and tell them my name is Frodo, that way when it’s ready they go “large Americano…for Frodo” and then I answer “For Frodo!” and nobody laughs and then I take my coffee and go drink it alone in my car
If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

Let's play: You Know You're a Witch When.... when you go through an old purse looking for tissues and you find this.... anyone else?

Anyone else flipping through their copy of Fahrenheit 451 after hearing about the "deployment of robot dogs" at Mar-a-lago?
