Former arts advocate living a low profile life, and catching up on reading all the books I need to, while still promoting artists & musicians on Facebook (where most of my community lives) part-time. Be well & thanks for following.

Time to reframe the narrative? You can't possibly be all the terrible things they say You are. Which kinda says a lot, & does it really even matter?You know who You are. You've the courage to be disliked, the power to change it up, to deliberately create your own reality. You will find your people β₯οΈ

Reinventing yourself as part of your personal evolution is not for everyone, but those that do realize this know that to empower oneself, a shift or change is required. Sometimes major, sometimes minor. This morning I learned that obedience prolongs my nightmare. #followtracee

Just think about what would be happening in the US right now if Kamala had been elected.

That's a bit pathetic. When is he going to be Acting Supreme Leader of Iran? Has he no ambition?

Someone had better leak the Epstein Files to prevent WW3.
Letβs not forget, that cunt murdered her own innocent dogβ¦of course she thinks the murder of an innocent woman is perfectly justified.
The weakest people on earth are demanding that strangers get shot to pieces by the most violent military in the history of the world.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.
Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Someday he will be gone. But we will never forgive or forget the people who supported him.
They want you numb. Overworked. Distracted. Apologizing for how much you feel in a world that profits off your disconnection. But staying soft in a world broken like this is not a weakness. Itβs proof that you havenβt given up on being human.
This is a reminder that you're working your CPTSD recovery today because your people pleasing era is over.
If the price of accepting yourself is becoming "unacceptable" to them, pay that price. Pay it without a second thought.
Good advice from the subject of my last book, journalist Malcolm W. Browne: βDonβt expect too much from news. Be curious. Read books, travel. Think. . . . Watch for cant, propaganda, techno-babble, meaningless statistics.β
You're going to find keys to recovery & building a life in books, plays, & other places that the culture doesn't think of as "recovery" resources. Read fiction. Read poetry. Read mythology. Read social media feeds that inspire & support you.
Read. Read. Read.
I am so sorry this day has come, Joseph.

They say it gets easier but it never really does, you just learn to be funnier about it and then also sometimes you find a nice porch to sit on for a while
